Yea it sounds like some one has done a quick repair on it, the wires go brittle down there somtimes, check for leaks from the sensors, if they are looking ok, just fit spades and re-fit. there are two pressure sensors, high and low RPM, the GTI also has a 3rd for oil temp. If the oil light works correctly then there are no issues with the connections, so should just be a case of repairing the spades.
