My '93 has 210K on the original engine and trans. The 318 uses about a quart every 5K miles, when I got it from my dad it was using a quart every 500 miles. It turns out that a gasket on the bottom of the intake manifold fails and the engine starts sucking oil out of the galley. With that fixed it runs like a champ!

Markus- It is pretty easy to pull the cluster and remove the light but with all of the GCs in the junkyards in the US it's just easier to put in a used computer. The solder joints crack over time and cause the problem you are seeing. If you'd like me to find one for you and ship it I can do it cheap for a fellow Pelican. I can probably get one shipped to you for 50 euro. Or you can pull the light.
