1991 Volkswagen Vanagon - exhaust and oil leak repairs

Ignore the incorrect link in my video - it's actually:

Repairs to the broken muffler on my VW Vanagon as well as repairing an oil leak (looks to have leaking from been the high-pressure oil sensor). I apologize for the long video, especially as this isn't a full DIY so much as it is documentation of the work I did. I'm sure it'll be of some use to other Vanagon owners.

where did you get the o ring for the breather tower?

[MercedesDieselGuy]

@lycoming333 Not sure anymore. However (also in reference to your question about the boots), I probably ordered from a combination of several online vendors. Check van-cafe(dot)com, busdepot(dot)com, and gowesty(dot)com.

Thanks for sharing your work, I was hoping that you covered the low pressure oil sensor more, as this is the sensor I believe to be causing my oil leak. Its the only oil pressure sensor on my engine being the 1.9GDG Petrol engine.

@MickyfinAldridge Well, if you can wait a little while, I will be delving into that a bit more in my next Vanagon video. It turns out I now have a possible oil pressure problem, and will be plumbing in a proper oil pressure gauge in parallel with the original low pressure sensor off the port between the pushrods. If I can find a cheap enough gauge this weekend, I'll do the video tomorrow. If not, I'll need to order one.

@MickyfinAldridge Thanks, I can wait. Are you a member of 80-90 forums? Loads of help available there for your Vanagon
