HELP! NO BOOST AND OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMING ON

[kingaz]

Just purchased a mark4 gti turbo. On the way home iv put my foot down and it doesnt seem to be boosing. Cars topping outat 100mph. Soo as u get to 4000rpm the oil light comes on and it says turn engine off oil pressure. The oil level is on maximum. Also when it does it the temp guage drops to zero. Some help please. Hope i havent brought a knacker!!

dont drive it, wip the sump off check the oil pick up pipe hopfully its blocked then you can go to the dealers and buy a new pick up pipe for like 9 pound, then i would advise geting it pluged in and fault scanned,

No mate. Soon as i turned it off and on it went.. but took it to 4000 again and it came back on. So switched it off again and kept it at 3000 and hasnt come back on
