i dont have answers to all these questions but youve given me alot of good stuff to look at. ill answer what i can. the engine in my car never had a rebuild it did have some work done in a shop when we first got it but nothing to serious. i cant get my miles per gallon right now because im fixing my spedometer and its out of the car right now. my car is fuel injected. its has done this with the oil switch since the day we got it running and its never been a problem just an inconveinence. right now the oil im using 10w-30 because i heard that was better for hot running cars. the engine isnt getting particularly hot at all though. i can handle the oil dipstick and the engine hatch after running the car for like 30 mins. ill check out the thermostat and all the other things you mentioned as soon as i can. and ill also see what i can do about checking the idle to see if its too low cause i heard that might be the cause as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
