i have an audi a4 2.0 sport 51 plate and the yellow min oil light has come on twice in the last week then goes and has come back on i have read a few articles on engine oil light for other models, the engine oil level is fine any advice on what it is i presume its a faulty sensor, any advice would be apperciated cheers

matz

 

Are you sure it's yellow or red?

 

its definitely yellow light minimum oil level,

 

have you tried going down and buying a liter of oil to top it off? I would try that. Back when I had my Caddilac it would burn so much oil that it would say I was low. but then other times it didnt do anything. But once I topped it off and it reached the "full" level I was fine.


...try that

 

My car does that and I take a valve medic can or whatever and dump it in there and it goes away. The oil level is always fine. I think there is gunk or some crap getting on the sensor.

 

cheers mate whats it called valve medic can can i buy it from regular place like halfords

 

Oh, it's just a brand of a "valve cleaner" that you dump into your oil. You can use whatever you want.
