Oil lamp warning on Golf 2008: looking for experience and advice

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2005 Passat. The oil light was also flashing. The mechanic finally found a malfunction in the engine oil pump. Apart from that, there was also a problem with the warning light in the speedometer. It was actually a serious problem, which forced me to have it repaired immediately. I hope this helps you. Take it easy!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! So you've been through this before too, reassuring somehow. Do you happen to remember the cost of the repair and if anything else occurred afterwards? Would love to know what I should be prepared for.

Sure, no problem. In my case, it was - as you suspected - the engine oil pressure control, which actually had a problem. But since my trip to the garage, it's been fixed and runs like clockwork again. I spent around €350 on the whole thing because the wiring harness on the oil pressure control valve was oily and defective. It wasn't a cheap job, but since then I've had peace of mind and everything runs as it should. Hope that helps you. Just stay cool!

Unbelievable, thank you! It's always good to hear the story of someone who has been through the same thing. 350 sounds steep at first, but if it solves the problem and gives me peace of mind, then it's definitely worth it. I will contact my garage and get it sorted. Thanks for your encouragement and advice! Stay healthy and don't let it get you down!
