BUZZING SOUND COMES ON WHEN OIL TEMP GOES PAST HALF WAY
Your most likely running 10-30 or 10-40 motor oil. For that vintage VW's
thicker oil was specified for above 50 f as I remember. 20-30 would be more suited for warm weather in that vintage. But the reason is the oil pumps were weak. You can put a pump off a mark 3 vw engine on and you'll then be able to run the thinner oil. I once bought a Brazilian made, VW branded pump intended for the 93 and up 2.0L engine for $80 on line and cured the problem on a 92 jetta. It also ran better because the lifters had enough oil pressure to them. JoBo "mizmoe" > wrote in message oups.com... > mark. When I step on gas it stops for a while.
