Oil pressure or oil level?

How would I check oil pressure? There is no leak by the looks of it and the level is now good... :undecided:

Most likely the sensor

You can fit a new one or code it out  :lipsrsealed:

Yea I was meant to scan it this weekend but forgot my laptop! I defo have oil in it, and it isn't oil pressure. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it until I get a new one fitted.

Cheers peeps.

It will get to the point where it stays on  :whistle:

30 seconds with VAGCOM or £100+ for new sensor........
