  My '85 Jetta did somewhat similar shenanigans when I first got it
and still did after an overhaul.  Oil pressure was good but not spec.  
I put in a new oil pump (I don't replace VW oil pumps simply out of 
rote) and it never went off again.  Oil pressure was about a pound or 
two below threshold RIGHT as the rpm dropped to where it stops 
checking the higher rpm sender.  Good oil pressure but not quite 
what it wanted and only over a margin of a hundred rpm or so and 
just a pound or two.
