    Hot Engine and Oil light on advice needed

    I agree, 95c isn’t anything to worry about I agree, 95c is fine. Oil needs to reach that kind of temp in order to get rid of moisture, 115+ + is when you need to worry. Check the relief plungers, only use regular copper washers I believe. Put some fresh oil in it and also check the oil pick...

    Hot Engine and Oil light on advice needed

    Those pressure readings aren’t terrible! It’s not uncommon for an old stock 1600 to have an idle pressure of 5psi and the oil light to flicker when hot. Those save my bug things aren’t great, I’d take it out and carry on using the bus.

    Hot Engine and Oil light on advice needed

    Because they are built to tighter and closer tolerances. 25psi oil pressure @ idle and peaking at 65psi @ 7000rpm while reading 215f oil temp is more than enough. Too much oil pressure is as bad as too little.

    Hot Engine and Oil light on advice needed

    First off you need to find out what the oil pressure is doing throughout the Rev range when fully up to temp. If the pressures are good then check the tune of the engine, if it’s running really lean or timing is too far advanced the engine will run hotter and can cause over heating, also be sure...

    Went vw action, what a fantastic weekend that was! Proper racing event, not a festival with some racing like bugjam. Awesome weekend racing my bus, crewing for my mate Dave then going head to head with him. (I lost epically) 😂

    Belly Pans - Are They Necessary?

    Sunroof buses and factory approved campers (westfaila) which were built on sunroof shells had belly pans to regain the strength and integrity lost from the hole in the roof. When I restored my bus I carefully removed them, bare metalled the entire under side, rust treated and painted those areas...

    Exhaust Wrap

    Waste of time on something that isn’t a race car. Providing the engine is tuned correctly then the exhaust won’t be generating excessive heat plus the wrap absorbs fluids so it hold water make the exhaust corrode and if you develop a leaky rocker cover it will soak up the oil, stink and smoke...
