Had the red oil light pop up today, flashing and beeping. Pulled up at home and left the engine to cool off for tonight.
I know the oil level is fine in it with me checking it each week since i have dropped the oil around a month ago.
Im thinking i have probably a faulty sensor but not sure which it will be?
Any advice on where to look or what to change first before i go and spend alot of money?

There’s only one oil pressure switch on the 2.5’s. See my post here.

Don’t run the engine until you sort this one out.

I definitely won’t be!
Thanks for the link to the write up mate, I’ll get the new sensor ordered this week and get it done.
Feel like all I’m doing is fixing the damn thing at the moment instead of enjoying the van ?

If it’s the red light with an oil can then it’s it’s oil pressure (very serious!) If it’s the amber oil can with a wavy line underneath it’s the oil level warning. The oil level sensor is bolted to bottom the sump and also measures oil temperature. The oil level warning light coming on for no reason is another problem and not necessarily a simple one.

Had a fella look at it and he seems to think that it is the oil pump that’s at fault. I ran the engine for a few seconds and he instantly said I’d go for oil pump. It sound way too loud.

Anyone done this job?
Any tips etc to help with it?

Loud? As long as he knows that this engine is always loud. If the DMF is a bit worn it’s really loud. I’d check the oil pressure first before getting too involved. You need to get the sump off to get at the oil pump. Festa has a neat trick for moving the engine around to do this. T:

Getting a fella to come and plug in a computer today that will read the pressure etc, see what it comes back with.
Is the oil pump a massive job? Or is it a driveway job if I got the right tools?

Had my friend come around today and the fault list was massive. He reset everything and then ran the thing again after clearing all the faults.
In the mean time we ran the van for no longer than 20 seconds, and as we shut it off I heard the screeching noise. I said to him that was the noise I heard last night. We ran the engine again and when we turned it off you can hear the noise coming from the turbo, guessed the turbo is goosed or on the way out. Called the sales garage we got the van from, 1 hour 30 minute drive away, and they said if you can get it back to us, we will fixed it seeming we have only had it for 1 month and probably covered less than 500 miles. I suppose they was hoping we wouldn’t / couldn’t get it there. So ordered a loader to take it on Monday morning, 9am and hopefully they sort the problem out. I’m literally thinking to ask for the money back I paid for the van and call it a day.
My 16k miles, 98kw shuttle is showing the too much oil warning every 100 or so miles. This happened the day I picked it up and the VW vans place took into the service section. I think they took some oil out, which is half-way+ from checking the dipstick when cold. I can’t smell diesel in the.

Oil Warning Light following service…
Hi all, I’ve a 4 year old 204 Kombi Highline, with 50k on the clock, recently serviced by VW and the oil warning light appeared. Less than 1500 miles since the service. Seem to recall this happened after the last service as well. Is this normal? Thanks.

Oil Volume Min To Max On Dipstick?
Changed my engine oil & filter and refilled with a measured 7.4 litres of oil. Checking after a long run the level is about 20% below max allowable on the dipstick. But — owner’s manual doesn’t say how much oil is required to fill from min to max (very, very, helpful). Anybody know? This is for.
