Im doing a little research on rebuilding acvw T4 engines and cam across this. http://haysvwrepair.com/type-4-oil-light-problems/ The later part of the article explains a mod to prevent the above happening on late Bay engines. Has anybody experienced this issue of low oil pressure when braking especially down hill? Has anybody implemented this fix? Thanks for reading.
That was my initial thought, however he has gone through some analysis and disregards low oil level. It makes interesting reading, when you eventually get to the description and solution.
Yes. A completely unstructured and pointless rant which I found hard to follow and eventually gave up on. Reminds me of Lord Of The Rings
I bet all those words and all he needed was to seal the oil pickup tube where it goes into the casting... I resent the Lord of the Rings remark. I read the entire trilogy and appendices to my kids at bed time. Beats Peppa the dumb Food Animal...
It was a but of a rant and he doesn't appoligise for that. The last portion of the article is the part I was curious about. Has anybody experienced this issues and implemeted any of the modifications?
He may be right, when you read the other articles on engine building on his site, he seems to have built many. But evey time I read of an American criticising VW for cheating on emissions on what are otherwise economical cars, I think of big Ford F150 trucks and pots and dirty kettles...
