Question 1, correct, not in the high beam position but only flashed, and Q2 nope, no daytime lights on the vehicle. I think he said both lights went out at the same time, instantaneously, a bit foggy for the pier this am, but not a bad suggestion! I had not thought of the relay, Would the relay be just for low beams and high on constantly and not for flashing? Where is the relay box? Can they be tested? cheers peter

My son called me last night from several states away with a headlight problem. 96 subie legacy wagon. Head lights out, brights only when holding the switch in the "flash" position. I am not really familiar with the car, its several states away and doesn't visit often. he said the fuses all look good. Switch? Is it a switch that you turn with your left hand (assuming US vehicles) or right, as opposed to something on the dash? How do you go about getting one off/out? my experience with these cars is only with the engine going into my vanagon. any suggestions that I can pass along? cheers peter

Here is a site with one in a 70 http://www.vanbran.com/bug/conversion_main.htm I think there are video clips somewhere peter

my new best friend at the FLAPS loaned me his gauge and great news, tons of pressure, easily 65 at startup and 17 at idle when warm, up to 45 ish which some gas! so the sender is bad, wish it was not such a long way to the dash of a vanagon, i'd be tempted to run a mechanical. thanks peter

I am going to buy one of the cheap mechanical gauges I saw on ebay and check it out. I want to rule out the sender, but since it starts cold at 60 psi I am thinking it works. thanks peter

Its located on the top left side of the block, Not sure what they call the access hole, but as I recall it is where the original one was, between the alternator and the power steering pump. Seems low but any body know an expected minimum so that I can discuss this with the rebuilder and have some specs? cheers peter

I have just installed a rebuilt ej22 into my vanagon and have some questions about the oil pressure: cold 65 psi 100F 25 psi 185F 12-15 psi I am using a vdo sender and vdo gauge. no increase with increasing rpms. seems really low to me, does anyone know the expected psi at operating conditions? cheers peter
