What is the cars year and engine code?

[2400]

2001 51 plate 2.5 TDI TIPTRONIC quattro sport estate engine code AKE

[Crasher]

00562 Oil level/temperature sender-G266

Open circuit/short to positive or Short to earth = Open circuit in wiring, short or blown fuse

Implausible signal = Oil level/oil temperature sender -G266 defective

Check fuse 5 in the dash side fuse box

01228 Key switch. Switch off airbag, BTU -E224. Open circuit/Short to positive

Open circuit = Fault finding according to current flow diagram
Key switch -E224 defective = Replace key switch -E224
Control unit for airbag -J234 defective = Replace control unit for airbag -J234

If fuse nr. 5 is ok, the G266 sensor are known to go bad. Don't buy a aftermarket P.O.S, they will make your oiltemp gauge not working.

True, all the aftermarket level sensors I have tried were rubbish.

is the sensor the one fitted to the bottom of the sump..any idea how much..also if i turn the keyoff for airbag would this cause the airbag issue to stop..also tonite ive notice sometimes the abs and traction light comes on while driving and goes off if i turn off engine and restart any ideas there ..thanks in advance

Yepp, fitted to the bottom of the sump. Not a bad idea to replace it when you change oil. Prize? Dealer- way to much. Ebay used oem- 15-20 eur.
About the other stuff it would probably be the best to scan for faultcodes ( VCDS)

Intermittent ABS & Traction lights on (at the same time) could be faulty Brake Light Switch (located under brake pedal in driver's footwell). Had this a year ago with my 2002 Allroad AKE 2.5TDI. Replacement secondhand cost £30 with 3 moth guarantee and still going string.
BUT ..... Before replacing, a vcds scan should identify if this is your probem.

But a new brake light switch genuine from Audi is about £10! W T F are you doing paying £30 for one?
