Hey Guys.. This problem is the Coil Packs. There is a recall out on all 1.8t Motors. If you haven't had an issue, its no rush but should be completed. If you have the sputtering, low power, struggle from the engine, bring it in to an Audi/VW dealer. They'll fix it free of charge. Done and Done.

The warning light means the engine oil pressure is low, not necessarily that the oil level is low.
The problem could be the pressure switch, or you really could have low oil pressure.
Driving the car with low oil pressure will damage the engine.

Low oil pressure at freeway speed, normal when idling
Drop oil pan and check pump tube o-ring to see if seated properly. Also check for blockage at tube screen. Had same problem on my 05 ram 1500 5.7ltr Hemi.

The oil light came on and it says no oil pressure stop the engine. What would cause this?
This problem can be caused by; low engine oil, bad oil pump, or bad or disconnected oil pressure switch. Please identify which engine your car has and which model Jetta it is (2.0T, 2.5,GLI, TDI or Value Edition) in order to establish the location of the components.

The oil light coming on when stopped at a stop sign tells me your engine was already damaged before you had the power loss problem. I would not waste the 650 to put in an oil pump. You would be further ahead to just replace the engine.

Hi,
Sounds like the oil light and sender are doing their job. They are telling you, you are losing oil pressure. That will happen if you are low on oil or have pressure problems. Add oil and see if the light goes out and pressure returns. You may have leaks or a worn out engine.

Oil light on 99' Jetta TDI
Hi,
The "oil light" is actually a "low oil pressure" light, and not a "low oil level" light. I would get it checked out at a garage asap.
Did they change the filter at the same time? D
