I have a solid yellow oil level sensor on my dash. I changed the sensor and cleaned the connections and I still have the yellow oil sensor display. Shouldnt this have reset itself if the problem was fixed...? So if its still on what could possibly be the problem?

 

u need to chain or top off your oil? if its yellow that is. If its red then u might have a bigger problem.

 

its solid yellow, i changed the oil today when i put the new sensor in. i checked the dipstick it has the correct amount of oil in the motor.

 

okay it says oil sensor and not min oil right. I would examine the wires to make sure they arent chewed up or something.

 

If the wiring and oil level are both ok, did you clear the fault using VAG/VCDS?
If you did not try that first before any titreing.

 

I have the simple ecu detector thing. I plug it in and it shows me the check engine lights, I have all of them cleared and it still showing up in yellow

 

Use VCDS and clear the DTC.

 

the pump might be shot too. i have an 03 1.8t and the oil on the HUD kept coming on after an oil change and i reset the service and everything, eventually it went away after like a week, though i did try to secure the sensor a little better so it might have just been dirty/loose.

make sure the o-ring on the sensor is seated properly too
