As I experienced a blown hose to my front oil cooler yesterday I'm now quite aware that just the little green oil pressure light isnt enough. I would like to add an audio warning aswell.
Has anyone done this? What parts did you use and how did you connect it? |

If you can check out the circuit board in the gauge cluster of any year Water -cooled Vanagon, there is a small (low o-p) buzzer (located up at the top R corner on the p/c board. It has about 4 solder/ prongs that are easy to heat + seperate. Or just purchase the buzzer at the VW dealer. It actuates below approx 15 psi...signal sent off of a VW Vanagon (low) op sender (standard 1/8" npt).
I found this out when putting 911 engines (dry sump) into Vanagons (wet sump)...and the low op when the 911 engine is idling would start the Buzzer going (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Marty |
