The light used to just flicker dimly at idle, now it shines brightly. I would make sure your idle is set high enough and that your car is not running excessively rich (which would dilute the oil) or lean (which would make it run hot.) If these things are all okay, you might want to think about an engine rebuild sometime in your future, but it is not likely to be a near thing. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
