Rain rain go away

With the recent downpours here in the not so sunny state, I have yet to do anything to the car. It sits in the same condition as when I last posted.

I am more and more under the belief that the oil pressure issue is a wiring issue to the sensor at the oil housing. I recently secured the wiring to the sensor more into the plug. After doing so the car ran perfect for around45 minutes without a single light. The next day it ran for 30 minutes and no issue. The following day for 15 mins to work and came on. So it has to be that wiring and that has come loose. Too bad the wiring for the engine is all one harness. So replacing the wiring would be a bigger job that what I am willing to take on at this moment.

With that, I am tempted to get a electrical oil pressure gauge set up that allows me to run both the stock and an aftermarket one. Thus being able to see the stock sensor light come on and the aftermarket gauge to tell me that everything is good to go.

On a rather large side note. The old girl is up for sale on the VwVortex. I am halfway throwing in the towel now in search of a new beast to tackle. If it doesn't gain any interest for sale, then I am sure I will be heading back to the engine to get her fully runing and working like the champ she is.

If you are one of the few that might read this and am interested in the GTI. Here is the original post.

More up to date pictures are coming once we get a weekend of sunshine.

Later gators.

It's alive......kinda

So I took her for about a 30 minute drive on wednesday night, then another 45 minute drive yesterday and no issues. There is a slight bounce in the rpms at idle which could be caused by either a leak in the vacuum system or a bad Mass Air Flow sensor.

BUT this morning I decide to take the old girl to work with me. A 10 minute drive. As I am pulling into the parking garage bang the oil pressure light comes on.

What can it be?! I am leaning towards a wiring issue more than a oil pressure issue. Since it did not come on during the longer drives. I think I am about to break down and take it to a shop to have it looked at.

But first I might pick up a oil pressure gauge to really see if that is in fact the issue.
