my oil light is still beeping at me

i changed the switch and it didnt do anything

today i disconnected the sensor and the oil light stayed on. i heard this could be a ground fault? is it?

and i know that oil is gettin to the engine cause took the cap off and can see it and after a quick test run there was oil at the top of the cap

also is there a second pressure switch on polos? i changed the one on the block but i have seen them on oil pumps before aswell

have you checked the oil level? may be too much oil

on some vw/s if you slightly over fill it this will also set the beeper off, it does on my transporter,

Have you had it plugged into vag-com...until youve done that, you might end up replacing things whilly nilly as it can be many things which brings that light on.

Any VW specialist should be able to matey. VW charge a fortune. There may be someone with it locally on here
