Faulty Oil Sensor?
« on: June 21, 2009, 05:07:06 pm »
hi there my oil low warning light came on the dash in my 04 rabbit 1.9 tdi on thursday so i topped the oil up, however the lights still on? anyone know where it is so i can have a fiddle or try and fix/replace?

it also seems that in topping up the oil i've exceeded the maximum mark by a small margin am i ok?


cheers
