Was driving the car and all of a sudden the oil min light came on - luckily i was where i needed to be so parked the car. On returning some time later i checked the oil level and it was fine, started the car and drove off. After around 10 mins the oil min level light came on the dash again.

I have heard that the there is an issue with the sensor. If this is the case ill replace but can anyone tell me what the part number is.

Kind regards

Be careful, could be low engine oil pressure. A lot of VAG cars, you don't say what yours is have a tendency to block the oil pick up pipe in the sump (mainly 1.8T petrols), this could also cause the light to come on as the engine would be starved of oil. May be best to get it checked by someone who knows just in case, engines are dear these days, hope it is something simple though and you get it fixed OK :)
 
Sorry it's a 2.0 tdi. The oil pressure is fine according the to the check button.
