Oil light

TBH, there are so many warning lights on a modern motor, I don’t think folk notice.

 

Sorry, why ? Didn’t the link make is clear how to adjust the belt?

 

I didn't realise this either, our oil light was not working for the first year or so of us owning the bus! Now fixed and working as described!

 

How can you not notice it ?

 

Just the bobbing up and down! Many thanks for the link

 

First time owner of a bus, unaware it should show up on ignition turned on!

 

You’ve got one on your modern motor as well

Top tip (for @PanZer as well)...get hold of a copy of the VW Owner’s Manual for your bus. Places like thesamba have pdfs. Then all will be revealed.

 

Good tip, I'm learning albeit slowly

 

Been a while since I perused it - needs pop-up, scratch & sniff, plus associated audio cassette imho.


Good point though. I should have another read as a lot will make a lot more sense now.

I just had a flick through - you're right, makes a lot more sense to me now than it did in the first month of owning the van.

 

We live and learn

Nothing special about a Bay. Just bog-standard 1970s/1980s stuff. And no electronics. Yaaaay!

 

How much does yours bob up and down, if you don’t mind me asking?
EDIT: Don’t try to measure it with the engine running.

 

This vid is from September...

 

If the engine was running then it is stopped cold it might be a minute or two. But when it is warm, it will be a few seconds before the pressure drops to 4PSI and the light comes on with the engine stopped.

 

It’s a bit loose.

 

That carb setup won’t help either
