Oil light on means pressures have to be checked, my 87 jetta does the
same buzzer/light alarm, I will install a higher pressure/volume 16V
pump. So much for that. As far as the right front locking up, did the
car eve had a badly torn constant velocity joint boot. allowing grease
to contaminate pads and rotor? This WILL cause brake lock up. Second to
that I would think of and internally failed caliper brake hose not
allowing pressure to back flow to master. Let me know what happens.
