oil light on all the time
« on: 18 April 2014, 12:03 »
Hi, got a completely standard mk4 aum, when turning the ignition on the oil level low information comes up on the display then the oil light stays on amber permanently. I tried searching for any similar cases but couldn't see anything, has anyone experienced anything similar? If so how did you rectify it? I should point out the oil level is fine.

Thanks

Have you had it scanned for fault codes? It may be that if the sensor was faulty it threw up a fault code which just needs to be cleared.
