Hello everyone,
I have a 1999.5 TDI that I purchased bone stock and it had a couple issues that seem to be typical for my year including the hard starting when it's hot and the oil light coming on at higher RPMs. I did some deletes and sent out the ECU and got it redone with a stage 2 and that fixed the starting issue but the oil light still comes on periodically for no reason. I do have an oil pressure gauge that is connected to a T fitting that also has the sensor for the oil light connected to it as well. I did put a brand new sensor in it that is a genuine VW sensor from the dealer. I run Castrol 5W-40 full synthetic threw it. I'm running out of things to chase after and didn't know if anyone else has run into the same problem and figured out what to do. Thank you for your time, it's greatly appreciated!
