RE: oil pressure buzzer....



I got my Oil pressure gauge from Advance Auto. Take one of the temp sensors
from the top of the oil filter and get a "T" connector for it. Use teflon
tape as you re-assemble it placing the pressure gauge on the  >side< of the
"T". The temp should go on top...
Run the plastic hose through the firewall with the cables in to the interior
of the car... Join it together and VOILA!

Have fun. Thsi gauge will tell you more than an idiot light or buzzer ever
will...

Subject: oil pressure buzzer....


ok.. i've got an 88 16v rocco.  it's only got about 80,000 mi on it.  the
new problem is.. (drum roll please!)  the oil pressure light and buzzer will
come on intermitantly.  it doesn't matter what rpm, speed, temp, ect.  it's
really random.  anybody have any idea?  if it was the oil pump, wouldn't it
be on all of the time?  also, sometimes the only way i can get it to shut up
is to turn the engine off, and turn it back on.  i was almost thinking that
it could be one of the sensors on top of the oil cooler.  i replaced one, i
believe it was the front one about a year ago, but only put in a el-cheapo
robbins or napa replacement.  could that one have gone bad?  is one for oil
temp, and one for pressure?  my power mechanics teacher told me that i
should get a cheap oil pressure guage and hook that up and watch it.  the
only thing is... i don't know where to get one...  and also how to hook it
up.  where could i get a 3-guage cluster for the ashtray?  well i think i've
explained myself well enough.... sorry about all of the questions...
TIA!!!
