Re: oil warning light/buzzer

["Jason" <jason87vw@nac.net>]

How many miles on it ? Mine did the same thing, I kicked around all possible
reasons on the list. I never did much about it. I finally was on my to get
the oil pump replaced, when I threw a bearing...bottom line, replace the oil
pump...Fairly easy to do (from what I have been told) and could save
yourself a lot of heartache in the long run...Not the oil pump, oh well, it
goes anyway after a certain amount of miles, so chalk it off as preventive
maintenance...There are listers who have replace everything having to do
with oil on their cars and still had the same problem so good luck....
