Oil level indicator light
« on: July 25, 2011, 07:48:49 pm »
My indicator light seems to have a mind of it's own and comes  on randomly. Anyone else have this issue?
The oil level is fine
Sometimes I get the STOP and beep warning as well...

your best bet is a VCDS scan to see if the cluster or ECU have any fault codes stored for it.  Its located on the bottom of the sump so can be prone to being impacted over bumps or if you have attacked any ditches  :wink:
