Default 2001 A4, 1.8T, low oil pressure light is on.

Low oil pressure light comes on when oil temp gauge reads about 200 degrees. Oil level is normal and thereare no abnormal engine noises.Oil pressure was checked about 2 months ago and it was good. The engine has 94,000 miles on it and has regular oil changes with synthetic. Is it possable this is a sensor problem, and is that something that can bechanged without me going to the mechanic.
When I had my timing belt and water pump replaced the mechanic said he saw no signs of engine sludge becoming a problem, which I know is comman with these cars.

Its common for oil switches to go bad, im not sure how common on these cars. I think it isnt too bad to get at but i dont know where it is off the top of my head ill try and find out or someone might post. I wouldnt drive it for now though you dont want to hurt the engine worse if there really is a pressure issue.
