Oil Pressure gauge malfunction ?
My 2003 Audi 4 Quattro's Display shows the Oil Light and asks to check oil level. The oil level was checked and it's OK. The weird thing is that the digital clock is all screwed up and keeps showing different times -- and can't be adjusted. Does this sound like it might be a sensor problem vs. a real oil pressure problem? Thanks for any help on this? My mechanic is 12 miles away; what do you think about driving the car 12 miles with this issue. Thanks to all who can help wit this.

If it's just warning you about the oil level and you've verified that the oil up to the full mark on the stick, you should be fine driving it to your mechanic. If you had low oil pressure, you'd hear some valve train noise or worse. The oil level sender is a simple contact switch mounted to the side of the oil pan. The clock issue sounds like a weird one. Could be a ground issue somewhere. Ground problems are almost always the cause of "weird" issues like that.
