cars broken again.... oil light buzzer and light came on again... cars off into garage for new senders on monday. got towed home no problem, had a guy that talked VW's all the way home )altho we stopped  times between leeds and york for me to vomit!, he turned up asked if it was k-fet when i said yes, he said GREAT... i trained on these!

BRILLIANT.... just a shame that at 2000revs the buzzer and light come on...

I think you may have been better paying abit extra in the first place.
If you do sell it, make sure you remove all related posts!

tbh not much else left to break.

fueling problem fixed, this should just be a sender/filter problem hopefully.
everything else is great on the car!!!

If the buzzer come son at 2,000rpm does that not suggest the oil pump is not working properly?

Good luck with it mate, I've had cars like this in the past and eventually you get through it!

buzzer @ 2k is triggered by the high pressure warning switch, could be down to a duff sensor, wiring or the oil pump.  The high pressure switch is the one with a white collar, usually on the oil filter housing with a yellow wire, though on some MK1s the it has a blue wire :)

Sounds like the oil pump has given up.

Do the right thing and drop a 16v in.  I dropped a GTI 16v in, it only took 2 days  :cool:
You know it makes sense  :cool: :cool:
