The 1.8 T can suffer with a blocked oil pick up in the sump usually  if the wrong oil has been used or it has not been serviced properly in the past.

Can cause the oil warning.

Dont drive it get it checked out ASAP if it is this your engine is being starved of oil!

Im sure you know about this anyway patch? Just a thought  :undecided:
