Hi all I have a 1971 1600 beetle and although the engine pulls fine and has never given me any problems at all I’ve started to get the low oil pressure warning light on at idle when hot. The idle is set to 850rpm, now I do have 10psi at 1000rpm, 20 at 2000rpm 30 at 3,000 and it tops out at 40psi at 4,000 rpm and above it’s only when at idle the oil light comes on. The engine doesn’t over heat at all as well. Is this ok?
Now the second question which I’m guessing the answer will be the engine is toast is that I have some end play of 0.3mm / 0.012” now this as I understand is twice over the max allowed. Does this mean the engine of the engine ?
I’m taking the reading from the crank pulley.
Thanks for your help
