This lens was green on my 68, but it changed to red soon after. I wonder if your yellow lens could be a green one which has bleached out from being overheated by a constantly ON oil light? 8-0 > The later type is apparently like later Type 3 gauges, and the oil light is red. > The green light on the left is also different: > > http://www.type34.info/temp/69%20fuel%20gauge%20different%20icons.jpg > > Does anyone have warning lights like mine?

Right, the icons only started in 69, and I've never seen ones that look like the left and right ones you show in your type 34. All in all it seems like a silly thing for VW/VDO to mess with, but they've already demonstrated their willingness in this area by making the type 34 center dial inserts different. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
