Thanks guys, thats relieving to hear. I have just contacted the guy I brought the car from so will see what he says. With a bit of luck he will agree to pay the costs of getting the work done. If not then I will contact trading standards as you suggested.
From doing some research I think it is a lamba sensor fault but still want to get it scanned asap.
Brought the car from a trader but with no warranty or anything so I guess I have no comeback? Only ever brought privately in the past.
Cheers for the help everyone
Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I went with my ex girlfriend to look at a MK5 Golf 1.6fsi as she had no one else with experience of buying cars to go with her.
I spend ages looking over the car and she ended up buying it. Today she phones me and says the Exhaust Warning light has come on.

I've replaced this sensor in the past on my old S3 (at least I thought it was this sensor) but it looks completely different.
Any help would be great?
Thanks,
Cool cheers for the tips, I ended up bending a allen key a bit to get it undone but couldn't do it up properly using this method so will have to go get a wobble bar.
On the other hand my oil pick up pipe was almost totally blocked with grit so well worth doing.
Looking for some help again.
Taking my sump off to give it a good clean and can't get to two of the nuts, the ones in question are nearest to the gearbox, the problem is that they are set at an angle and obstructed by the sump/ gear box so I cant get an allen key in there.
Any ideas would...
Looks like this week is going to be yet another expensive audi maintenance week. Was gonna go to Audi today and get a new lateral sensor and coolant temp sensor so will pop in Euro car parts and get the oil today as well.
Ok thanks very much, I'll give it an oil/ filter change and a good flush through. If that doesn't sort it then what sort of money am I looking at for a new oil pump + labour?
Hi Guys,
My oil light keeps coming on and I think it only happens when I'm boosting quite hard. Obviously I've checked the oil and its fine, what other reasons could there be that its coming on?

Could it just be a faulty sensor?
I've given it a scan and...
Right hopefully if you just click on that link it will open up a PDF, took me ages to figure out how to host it. Let me know what you think of the figures, its for my A3 1.8ts 2001, I think it has an AND re-map as there is a sticker under the bonnet and has a milltek cat back exhaust.
Thanks guys
Think prefacelift cars have both the longitundinal and latteral ones under the steering and on facelift cars the longitudinal one is behind the glove box on a golden metal bracket.
