Low oil pressure warning

[Coose]

Hi all.

Been scratching my head over and over again with this issue.

Low oil pressure warning (red flashing light)

I've recently had over £2000 of repairs done to my Mk5 GTi.

Along with the repairs that were needed I've also had the oil pick up pipe replaced, sump cleaned out, oil pressure switch replaced.

Whilst it was stripped the technician also inspected the oil pump and balance shaft and my main end bearings and everything was perfectly ok with them.

After I had the pick up pipe replaced sump cleaned and pressure switch replaced I'm still getting the low pressure warning after the car has warmed up.

I'm at a loss now I've spent a small fortune on this car and I can't seem to fix the low pressure issue.

Any advise? Maybe use a thicker oil it's currently got 5w30 in, would you recommend using 5w40 or even 10w40?

Also I have had 3 oil pressure tests carried out and my engine is producing the right amount of pressure.

Many thanks in advance.

You need to get the oil pressure tested to rule out pump etc,.

I've had 3 pressure tests carried out already all of them coming back as my engine is producing the correct pressure.
