If i could get a OE one it would be fine. Trawled the net for a Vdub one but no luck.

Cheers Jim. looking at those from Brickwerks i seem to remember the Meyle on that worked till the flood water killed it was grey. The Bosch one thou listed for it is white so i may have scored an own goal when fitting the lastest.will try another grey one once the core plugs in.

Another possible causes is a jammed oil pressure release valve so that oil pressure when cold is much too high? I assume that there is one, located somewhere in the engine? I've taken some motorcycle valves to pieces in my time, and the design is such that this seems most unlikely, but maybe worth a looking at if you have this problem again? A trapped piece of debris maybe?

Nice one, I meant it when i said you could have first refusal, if your fixed up thats great. Its coming out Feb ish unless i get impatient its going to be parked up the side the house so i can pick at it when the mood takes me. Apart from the intercooler and pipe work i have all i need but theres plenty of that on fleabay.Cant wait to get going, i shouldnt have taxed it really but there aint much street cred driving mothers left hand drive Pug 208 in pastel yellow
