VW Golf 51 Plate Oil Pressure Indicator Light

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. Is your check engine light on? It is to due with your exhaust. Check to see if oil or any other fluid is leaking on your exhaust. There might be a leak around your O2 sensors.

I believe that is a low tire pressure indicator. Check your tire pressure and fill if necessary.

It seems the fault is with the oil pressure switch you have replaced. This switch seems to need a higher pressure to cut off and the oil pressure light is coming on because it indicates low.
So if your oil is good , the oil filters were changed recently this fault must not come up. if not replace oil and oil filters to check but keep this option that the fault was never there earlier and a new part can also be faulty.

Measure your oil at normal operating temp, without the engine running of course. This will give you a more accurate reading once the oil has circulated in the system.

The system works like this:

• With the ignition on, the oil pressure indicator light on the dash should come on and flash. Once the engine is started, the light should go out and stay out as long as the engine is running.
• If the oil pressure drops below approximately 0.3 bar or 5 psi when the engine is running below 2000 rpm, the light will flash.
• If the oil pressure drops below approximately 1.8 bar or 27 psi when the engine is running above 2000 rpm for more than 3 seconds, the indicator light will flash and the buzzer will sound.

If either this two warnings occur:

• The engine should be switched off immediately and the oil level should be checked.
  

first thing is check the oil pressure not by the instrument panel if ok then panel is out if not its the sensor or oil pump Try this replace the temperature sender with the new green model and oil light will disappear no more three annoying beeps.

Replace the low oil level sensor in the side of the engine oil pan.

Not sure what model your car is,but try checking the two oil sender units,one located onthe side of the cylinder head[gearbox side]and the other on the oil filter housing.Also have a mechanic check oil pressure,should be+-2bar pressure at idle.If everything checks out,including the wiring,try another instrument cluster..Good luck

have oil pressure check.if oil pressure good you have a faulty oil pressure switch.

This message does not mean the engine is low on oil, it means the oil change is due. if you have added oil, it may mean it is now overfilled. This could cause as much damage as low oil, VW have a system on the vehicle that tells you when the vehicle requires servicing, the next message should be inspection 1. these are the VW service schedules. They are worked out on mileage and the way the vehicle is driven. Take the vehicle to your local decent repair shop and get the oil and filter replaced, and remind them to reset the service indicator. After this all will be well.

It sound as it your oil pressure senser or the oil pump needs replacing.
