Hi there , needing help here! I own a golf mk5 2.0 dsg!! About month n half ago the low oil pressure light come on while driving then just went off. I took it to garage and had the pick up pipe cleaned. Drove again and it come bk on for a few seconds then went off. Took it to a garage few days later and he changed the oil and oil filter the oil filter was a right mess, the car was fine for a while but it’s started coming bk on!! It only comes on after av been driving for about 35 mins then goes straight bk off it seems to do it when am going down steep hills, it’s weird. My mate changed the oil pressure sensor the other day but still it comes on. It’s not over heating there is no noises coming from the oil pump it sounds really good n runs perfect apart from the oil pressure light coming on then bk off. When I had oil changed the oil was really dirty as av only had the car 3 month am thinking other owner didn’t change oil. Can some one please help me or give me advise as this is driving me mad ! A need it sorting. Thanks

Re: Low oil pressure warning light
Fit a oil pressure gauge and monitor it, if the pressure drops when the buzzer comes on then you know for sure it's pressure related and not sensor or wiring issue

Re: Low oil pressure warning light
Had a similar problem turned out that the dipstick and funnel was worn out, when driving the funnel and dipstick wouldn’t seal the pressure and this would turn the pressure light on. Cheap fix and worth looking into

Re: Low oil pressure warning light
you seem to have an aversion for vowels specially the ones in the word back. anyway - dipstick cannot make an oil pressure issue.
You have to install a pressure gauge yes otherwise you are just guessing. It can cost you an engine. They are well known for oil pressure issues.
