Hey guys i recently bought a 110 toledo tdi and on the dash when you start the car up the red oil light comes on and beeps 3 times. It then just stays on and flashes. The previous owner says that he put it on vag com and it come up as a sensor that goes in to the sump, so he replaced it and a little bit down the line the same fault occurred. The vw/audi breaker that he got the sensor off said that it was a common fault in the toledos. Does this sound about right or should i be worried. The car drives very well and has been serviced regularly.

Red oil light on dash

Taken from another thread in the Leon section but sounds like a common problem but not an obvious answer:-
More than likely the metal prongs which do the sensing in the coolant bottle are covered in crap - very quick solution is to take the top off the expansion tank (where you'd usually fill it up), get a long flat bladed screwdriver - take a look inside and you'll see (if it's similar to a LC anyway) 2 metal rods which go from the eletrical connector bit outside, through the case and into the coolant - give them a good scrape up and down the length of each prong and you're good to go.

Where exactly on the dash is this light situated, and does it light up a symbol?
I didn't think that oil level sensors were fitted to the 1.9TDI.
