engine oil light on dash

[sgiandubh69]

heres an easy one Im sure - My engine oil light on a Mk 4 golf does not go off. It is not flashing, just glowing continuously even though the oil level is ok - any ideas please.

What engine ?

If it is a 1.8t search for oil sludging / light and sort it quickly !

Could of course be a different engine and / or a faulty sensor.

what colour is the light orange or red????
any messages come up?

[sgiandubh69]

thanks for the reply - - - it is a 1.6 petrol engine and the oil light is orange. The display reads 'check engine oil'.

The oil level is above the min mark i take it, well orange light is not as bad as a red light, it could be your oil level sender, has the message ever come up saying "oil sensor workshop"

thanks again for that - the only message that has showen so far is 'check oil level' which is odd since the oil level is correct according to the dip stick, Gremlins in the system I think
