[Vwdiesel] Oil light revisited

[Bryan K Walton]

Unfortunately, the system is completely different on the A2s.  I don't
own an A2 or a Bentley for the A2.  But in my troubleshooting of my
situation, I learned that the oil pressure warning relay for the A2 is
somwhere behind the instrument cluster.  You might find this 4-page
thread somewhat helpful:

Good luck,
Bryan
