Aircooled VW South Africa

Sup guys, my lady friends 06 polony is beeping the "check oil" warning on the dash, I checked the oil myself and at a garage, both under running temps and cold. The level is fine.

my question therfore, whats up with the check oil warning? Im not very clued up with the car, does the oil warning also apply to brake fluid and power steering fluids? or could it be something else?


thanks guys.

Take it to a dealer or reasonable facsimile thereof and ask them to connect a computer and use VAGCOM to check the error codes...

Thats just the effen problem with modern cars,more ways for dealers to liberate you of your cash.....Air-cooled FTW

Yeah. Gonna get to a Vagcom soon as I can, best part is I have full acess to a KTS (bosch diagnostic) down in durbs for free, now may prob.be charged by a stealership to clear the fault code.

Dont think the problem wil go away by just clearing the dtc's ,Sounds to me that it might be a wire or sender unit, cant remember now if those had a oil level sensor in the sump...maybe just check anyways.

Where is the car located? JHB or DBN

thanks Splitfan, i also thought a sender unit or something, will check that out.

zubz its in GP, The PAN, BRAKPAN lol.

I say that there is no problem with the car, it just has sympathy with the oil spill in the USA!!!

Is there a little spanner showing on the LHD of the display as well?

It is crying for a service.

When was it serviced last? 15,000km ago?

Once it it serviced, the dealership is supposed to reset the warning.

yup there is a spanner showing, and nope its had a major service, and since then has only done 1800km. Could it be the agent didnt reset it or something?

Not reset: that's what it was with my Golf, yes Zubz, THAT Golf, the nice one.

Gulf of Mexico... Send in the penguins

You had it serviced 1,800km earlier than last time.

Take it back.

If you wanna go thru the trouble of driving it to Midrand I can check the fault codes and reset what needs to be reset

Schweet Thanks man, well the lady works right opposite a dealership in Springs, lets see what they say, if not, I just might take you up on that offer.

Take it back to the guys who did the service for a reset. Ours did the same thing when the guys were to lazy/busy to do it during the service
