I have previously posted about the oil light on my Audi A3. dlakster came and did a vag-com on my car. It showed up no faults. Any suggestions from anyone. Getting desperate now.

Possible short on the lead or dirty contacts to bring the light on if the oil level is fine?
(Just guessing tho)

HI,I HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 1999 A3 1.8T.THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON ABOVE 2000RPM AND WENT OUT AT TICKOVER.I CURED IT BY RUNNING THE CAR AT TICKOVER WITH A BOTTLE OF FORTE ENGINE FLUSH IN IT FOR 45 MINS THEN CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER.THESE ENGINES ARE BAD FOR BLACK SLUDGE IF OIL IS NOT CHANGED REGULARLY.
Not sure where I read that, but I think there are 2 sensors. One is at the bottom and the one that controls the oil pressure if it falls below a certain pressure. and then the other one controls above a certain pressure.
I'll look for the link and post it (not sure how much help it will be though)
Hi John, thanks for your input on this and it may well be a dirty oil level sensor at hand.
