common problem for oil pressure loss? 1.9 idi
« on: August 25, 2006, 06:27:30 pm »
i am aquiring a 95 passat idi and it has 0 oil pressure at the cylinder head but doesnt make any noise. Oil light is on all of the time but runns very smooth and quiet.other than that its pretty good except the crank is starting to wobble. engine was rebuilt 5 years ago it was maintained and not abused. rebuilt by vw reman so im asuming the used good stuff.

Intermediate shaft bearings and/or the seal on the oil/vacuum pump drive shaft are common causes of low oil pressure.
