admins feel free to move delete etc, This isnt a t3

Chaps the winter ride is a 93 mk3 1.4 golf.

problem is that sometimes when engin is upto temp, the oil light flashes, no buzzer just flasshes a few times, If i press the accelerator it goes off.

Just wondering if anyone knows what it is? I thought maybe low oil pressure and changed the oil and filter last night. but no cam on again this morning.

Now a fair way away from home just wondering what it might be as i dont wonna be stranded in the snow.

Sorry again its not t3 but hey you chaps on here have the best vw collective knowledge </end kiss ass)! !

Thanks a lot in advance

I got 2 Mk 3's and I'm certain it's just a poor connection.

Mine did it when the tickover was a bit slow

ah the connection to the oil pressure sender? that makes sense.. i was thinking maybe oil pump or even worse.. ill try ythat first saee if i can find some sandpaper here at work..

Sound like the pressure switch is sticking a little but a good service would help it out no end!

aww i paid £100 for the main reason not to service the thing ! lol cool ill take it off and clean it up later thanks chaps!

got the same problem on my 92 mk3 1.4 changed both oil pressure switches still does it, not worried now as its been doing it for over 20,000 miles now and never let me down.

Thats why it was £100 coz it aint been serviced!

ah found the problem.. broken blue switch oil all over it and down the block.. ill call vw and get a new 0.25bar oil switch job done! panic over now time to risk life in the snow !
