Starting to get a little fedd up

If it's not this or that somethings always wrong to the point where I'm starting to not have faith in her anymore. Just put in oil an hour ago and I get I. And drive and a mile down the road my oil light comes on. So stranded again waiting for dad. Starting to realize that not going away to college was a good thing.

i was there at one point
i got so frustraded i didnt even want my bug anymore

i too drive mine to college and she has been good to me so far

just be patient and do what is needed first

my starter hasnt worked right since bap but i push start it everywhere now

just dont get discouraged

What's funny is I blew the motor two weeks ago from yesterday on my way home from school. Question to daily drivers how many miles do you put on your dub in a day

well i know someone who drives his prob 4 hours a day

i just drive from dallas to ksu
there and back twice a week

I put 80 to 100 miles a day four days a week going fro
Jobesboro to barnesville

well thats way more then me

but james prob runs his that much

so you just rebuilt the engine?

Just all the seals yeah rebuilt

did you use german?

and maybe something is wrong with that case that keeps blowin seals out or maybe your over filling it?

Naw it's just below the top line on the dip stick and I got the kit fro
Lindy harrel. So I would assume it's the best

where did it blow out of?

Nothing blew this time the oil light just comes on

does it have oil?
if you have oil you can drive it

maybe the sender is goin bad

does it flicker? then go away when you press the gas?

Yeah it has oil and no like just normal driving and then it just stay on and I drove it for a mile again and then the red light of doo
(he he xbox 360)

Death not doom

maybe change the sender thing

But I just replaced that after it caught fire this summer

hmmm then i have nomore ideas

maybe someone else can chime in

Sorry man didn't mean to shoot ya down on everything. thanks for aleast responding and giving me some ideas

So what is it doing?

Like I'll drive verry carefully for a mile and then the oil light comes on so I put it in neutral and shut it off and coast to a pull over spot has done it twice In three miles

I'm on the chat if you wanna talk there

how much presure?

What weight oil are you using? If 20-50, then the oil may be collecting in your valve covers, and not draining out to the sump fast enough, especially if you have a stock motor, with no termo, or flaps. the motor stays to cool, and the oil never gets hot enough. This was a big problem on my 74 super, a while back, (i could never find a good thermostat, so i removed the flaps alltogether) i had to use 5-20, as the 20-50 was just to thick. I'm actually having the same problem now in my 2074cc motor. if i rev it too high, the oil light flickers on. I tried using 0-20 syntetic, and the problem went away. if you start the bug up after you stop do you have pressure, or does the light stay on, even after stopping?


also, when you said the motor blew up, what exactly happened? did you rebuild the same motor, or a different motor?

oh, ans trust me, i've had these little things keep happeneing, and sometimes i get frustrated, but just take a breather, grab a beer (or a root beer in my case, lol), chillax the rest of the day, and come back to it the next day, with a fresh mindset. You'll do more harm then good, if you work on your bug in a hurry, or when frustrated.



I ya ever need a hand with anyting, just it me up. I'd be glad to come over and give ya a hand with anyting.

I'm running 10w-40 and after I shut it off and then turn it on it isn't on
