-
im no expert, but if your not getting a oil temp , it could be the oil temp sender, and that could maybe also cause the flashing light if the sensor isnt working, have you got vagcom? may show up a fault code, and give you more info.

This thread from not so long ago might help.

Forget your mods - it is low oil pressure by the look of it. The OP solved it by using 20 -50w oil.
I would probably swap out the sensor before changing oil grade personally - but that's because I once repaired the bottom end of a Cortina Pinto engine because the oil light was flickering on and I thought it was because the big ends/main bearings were gone. I can't remember what the crank regrind and bearing shells cost me but I do remember the pressure sensor (which was the actual problem) was £8...

Which oil pressure sensors have you got in the head. The ones for the mk4 or the mk3 head?
