I recently replaced the sensor on the oil filter (it was damp), at the same time I replaced the head sensor too. the fun began ! I eventually put the old sensors back, and the oil light stayed off. I have a gauge, so I know the oil pressure was good, always. At the end of the day the sensor on the head (the new one) was faulty ! There is no guarantee with a light on a dash and the oil pressure gauge saved my bacon ! BTW I also have a volt meter so I know if the alternator is charging and I can see battery condition.
Thanks I will follow I almost sold my bakkie had the pressor test and just going to change my oil filter it going to make a big,if I hai to do oil pump ja Manny dollar gone thanks

Hello sir my car is always doing things like that for everyday when I reach 100 when I'm driving is indicates that light for oil so I failed to understand what's going on I have been going to some mechanic and ask what's going on here they don't see any problem
But my MK1 beep that oil light when my fuel is quarter empty... And if my fuel is more the sound beep doesn't appear until it reaches quarter empty fuel
I drive an old vw Polo classic 1.4i. The oil light and buzzer came on and the car started to over heat quickly. What could the problem be and how do I fix it? I checked the oil and it is full but the oil light flashers without the buzzer all the time when driving over 2000rev. But the heat gauge climbs quickly and over heats badly
My Mk2..I replaced both sensors..but at normal operation temperature I am getting oil buzzer at more than 2000rpm when driving..but when rev it it doesn't..and then when idling also there is an oil light blinking
Hi. If you have already replaced the sensors and still getting oil buzzer, it could mean actual low oil pressure due to your oil pump maybe packing up, or it could be the oil pick up is just bit clogged up with sludge,. And to solve that u need to take off the sump and do an inspection, and clean out the sump. What grade of oil you using?.. Using too thin oil also causes oil buzzer to come on.

I have the problem of tappets making a hell of a noise and does not go away oil light flashes etc. This is after oil pump was replaced and new oil and filter added…. What now? No leaks whatsoever
I replace my oil pump in Sept and now in Nov i am having that same problem (bleeping oil light).I am bit confused by it.Its not everyday that the warning light is coming on.
you do no there are different oil pumps? and have you replaced the sensor? these sensors also can be faulty when new. what also could be the issue is thin crank bearings they then lower oil pressure on the high and low sides.

When last did u change the oil filter?... Sometimes it gets clogged up with sludge and you have a drop in oil pressure ,... Or a bad quality oil filter also causes that.. Also the oil pick up can get clogged up due to sludge in sump.. Always good to open up the sump from time to time to inspect..

As long as the engine sounds nice and quiet,...and not a rough tappet sound ,you don't have to worry . Check on the oil pressure switches.,which is usually found on top of the oil filter ..,and one on the side of cylinder head.These sensors can also cause your oil light and buzzer to go on if they faulty.. These oil pressure switches are not expensive ..If yours are very old and been on the engine very long replace them..It may just solve the problem.You can get these at Goldwagen spares

Jirre this english gave me cancer😢😂
While we are still at this topic , how can i check if oil pump is working properly ?
Yes, you can do an oil pressure test, with an oil pressure gauge. Just ask your mechanic
Those sensors have certain colours.....all pressure related..... make sure you exchange with the same colour
what is the color of the wires that goes to the sensor on the head,my sensor is there but no wires
Yellow
What does red-black wire indicate?
Sir my car does not have the yellow wire so im still trying to figure out how to get this resolved, but really thanks allot for your help. I'll just try to take it to a auto electrician to fix my problem.
Yes I agree it's best to have an auto look at it. Because we could cause some harm if we going to guess and fiddle with those wires.. All the best.
