howdie.
recently (762 miles and 2 weeks to be exact) changed oil, oil filter and air filter on my 96 a4 tdi, and now the numbers on my dash change to OIL and flash for a few mins every time i start it up. i did the work myself and used parts from the local euro car parts. checked the oil several times and its almost got too much in so its not low, the only thing i can think of is that the oil or filter is not right or just crap and the car is being fussy!... will the oil light flash if the oil is too 'used'? dont want to mess up the engine so help me please!
:beerchug:
cheers!

That is the service interval reminder and it needs resetting. Some of those can only be done with something like VAG-COM.
