bigface Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I know this is a general question but as its for this car i thought id ask here. The oil light has come on 2 times in the past week and when i dip it there seems to be plenty so i was wondering when is it best to check the oil level, i imagine its when the car is cold i.e first thing in the morning?

mb Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 You are meant to check the oil fully warmed up, engine off and oil left to settle for 15-30 mins so it has all collected back in the sump. That said on my MkIV R32 it didn't seem to affect the readings but on my current car it does so if you are having issues I would try that first.

Cuprabob Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 I've checked mine hot and cold and there's not much difference. Sounds as though you have a faulty sensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
