new member with some questions
Posted: 03 Mar 2014, 20:05
hi all i have finally got myself a syncro!! I'm a massive vw fan and have my fair share of vw's but have wanted a single cab syncro for a while,found one near to me, there is no doubt she IS A DOG body work wise but the engine and transmission seem fine (i can fix the body but I'm no mechanic!) but I'm soooooo pleased to finally have a syncro to add to my excessive amount of vw's!
a couple of questions, firstly i bought the truck knowing that the front and rear diff locks are nt functioning, i have been told they need a strip down and clean and thats all, although i take anything a seller has to say with a pinch of salt really, after all he is trying to sell me a vehicle right.
what should the led indicators show, will they either be on or off? or i think i read somewhere that they may well also flash? some guidance would be good please as i know nothing on these!
the second is probably a more general question, after an hour and a half drive i notice the oil warning light illuminated when i pulled up at junctions (on tick over) kind of flashed a little and stayed on, one i revved or pulled away it went right out, also whist driving it was not lighting up. i got home and forgot about it, ( it was dark so didn't check the oil level) i started her up so my brother could hear it run and the oil light didn't illuminate on tick over? i will check tomorrow but i thought i would mention it incase its a sign of something other than needing an oil top up?
longest forst thread in the world!???? all comments will be greatly received.
