Put approximately 4 hours in just today just searching everything for wheels and such. Considering even going for fake bbs's rs rims since there is such a little amount of nice fitting wheels I'm finding.

Check everything out manually.
Easy to check if you have enough oil. If all good it's probably just a faulty sensor.
And if your pressure is going then you should be able to spot a leak.

Are they really only worth $100 ?

sold them for more though , ad was unseen on gumtree for 4 months, I offered him something stupid and he said ok

I checked out the oil and it seemed fine. I turned the car off, came back 8 hours later and drove home from work and nothing happened. Its bizarre.

I'll still check everything out tomorrow and see what it is. It might be the PCV valve that my dad snapped off last week....

Just happy because its getting a good service this tuesday anyway.

What if the oil pump is done?

I had my PCV leaking for a while, didn't trigger the light, just had oil sapping there and heating up, could smell it in the car. Unless something there was unplugged?

There's a post on the net where someone had the light come on more often and it turned out an oil baffle had disintegrated and was blocking flow and reducing pressure. It could be many things.
Always good to have a good look, if you can find the problem yourself it saves having to pay the mechanic to try and find it, and their time is more valuable than yours.

Well I am getting the whole car checked over plus new shocks fitted so its going in anyways. So if something is wrong they can rectify it then.

I'll change the oil tomorrow I think and will chuck in that engine cleaner stuff and see what happens. It could be a blockage or anything really. I just don't know really. It beats not trying though. Happy to cross the PCV valve and associated hoses of the list.

I admit, I am out of my element with VWs. More comfortable with Holdens but I'll give it a crack anyways.

750-800 with tires, Found 3-4 fair sets today but all are 17's and I dislike 17 inch rims very much, especially on the golf. (too big)

[browntown42]

how is 15x7 +20 for fitting wise? I think I found the wheels, Gonna probably roll the guards anyway so just going to make sure before I spend the money whether or not it will fit.

Is this with the car running?
It's normal for it to show up when the car isn't running.

[daslow]

nah mate it would shut down after starting up so it wasn't running when i scanned it.
