This group saved me with my last troubleshooting mystery on this car. I've tried the VW forum but it has not been helpful.
- the car has 160,000 miles
- low oil light comes on after the car has been running a few minutes. longer if it's cold.
- there is ticking in the top end after the light comes on but not before.
- It consistently comes on under the same conditions. I think that rules out a bad sensor.
I'm thinking oil pump.
AM i correct in thinking that if it were a bearing or some other serious problem there would be other symptoms? lack of power, knocking, etc?
Any other diagnostics?
thanks
