Polo classic 1.3 formel. I have just serviced the car. Now when driving to work 6 miles the oil warning light goes off on starting, flickers after a mile or so stays fully on until journeys end. Returning home oil warm all gauges work correctly nothing comes on during the journey, after starting. I am confused!The oil is the correct grade, could it be damaged filter, both low/high pressue switches defunct, malfunctioing, earthed oil warning switch or just a gremling?

Hi there,

Have the engine oil pressure checked with a master gauge this will give you a true indication as to engine oil pressure, if all ok replace the sender unit. Start here.
