oh I see now =-) Sounds like the idles a little slow, that's how I thought mine was suppose to sound. Right now I think my bug sounds like it's running fast, but it was tuned up by Sir Jack Kessel the Great. After you get your mig welder talk to my dad "bugs2much" about welding the muffler. =-) I don't know why he didn't just replace it!! Like I said in this post or another one, if your idle is slow or you are low on oil your oil light will come on. Just don't over fill it's a good way to blow out your seals.  ;D Love the fastback!! I'm jealous.

so just to clarify, in 69 VW changed the lights so they actually say what they are for on them. I am pretty sure my oil light is green. And red for charging system?
I have oil in the car, and when I pull the wire from the oil sensor on top of the engine the green light goes out. I belive my gen brushes are brushless or so it seems.

I am cornfused about " welding the muffler"
I havnt ordered the welder.  I had several expenses , funeral related that took my mig money.
I wouldn't be able to pic it up till the summer.
I saw that Da welder is having  a "sale " and I might have to take him up on it.

Oh I just ment it sounds like you might have a hole in your muffler or an exhaust leak. The audio on video recorders can play tricks though too.

I am a little sad.
No body made any vasaline jokes.  :D

I was going to, but once you mentioned vasaline I knew my sand wouldn't hurt nearly as much. So I didn't...  :icon_cheesygrin:
