Hi,
I'm new to beetles, and haven't learned much. But is there an oil pump, or is it supposed to flow with convection currents. If there's a pump, check the pump. If not, sorry for posting.
Thanks, Mark Tuck
It has a very good oil pump that will put out 100lb's of pressure on startup. Once it warms up it holds 55 to 60 lb's driving down the road. It is just for some reason the oil is not going through the cooler or oil filter. Because of that it gets very hot in a short time, 230deg. in about
10 miles. If you look at the photo's you will see that I have a gage for about anything that is needed for a car. Now my airplane has a few more but then I could go in many differant directions with it and lots of radio gear.
Maybe you have a stuck oil pressure valve, pulley end, or a stuck oil control valve, flywheel end, or both.
