The oil level is fine but the light keeps flashing.
Run a Scan, you either have a faulty sending unit or Oil Pump.
SOURCE: oil light flashing on v.w bora oil level is fine
This is either a bad oil pressure switck or the oil pressure is too low. the low pressure is caused by a stopped up oil strainer or a bad oil pump.
SOURCE: The oil light keeps coming on with a bell
If your oil gauge if you have one reads good pressure, more then likely you have a bad sensor, if you just have an oil light, take it to a repair shop where they can do an oil pressure test. Have it check, low oil pressure can cause major engine damage.

it is most definitely the oil pressure sender!
standing in front of your car, look behind your engine from above, below the head and screwed into the block on the right side is the sensor.

this is a common sign of a bad oil pressure sender, but could also be caused by low oil pressure, a sender is cheap,but it"s always smart to do a pressure test first with a mechanical gauge,you can obtain a mechanical gauge from most automotive parts stores. then you"ll have to locate and remove the oil pressure sender and install the gauge you bought. make your test at warm idle you should have at least 25 psi below that you may very possible have worn engine bearings making it impossible for the engine to have any better oil pressure at idle. if you have 25 or greater psi of pressure at idle replace your oil sender and you"ll be back on the road
