Re: [T3] white smoke


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Among other possibilities, the likely reasons for a flickering oil light
are low oil level, too slow idle, very hot/thin oil (eg stopping after some
time at highway speeds), a worn (but not necessarily worn out) engine or a
combination of all of them.
VW does not consider a flickering oil light at idle to be a problem as long
as it goes out when the engine is accelerated a little.  I think it is an
early warning of overhaul needed; maybe a very early warning, depending on
how gently it is driven.
