Engine Oil Temp Sensor Fault

Hi all have my first issue with the car :sad1: The car is a 2007 Ed30 DSG with just under 15k on it.

The following fault will clear but will come back after about 10 seconds of ignition on:

If I look at the oil temp in measuring blocks, it always reads -60C. My understanding is that the oil temp is measured by the oil level sensor in the sump. Is this correct? When I look at oil level in measuring blocks its blank except for the level will flash up as 0 for a fraction of a second every 5 to 10 seconds.

I unplugged the sensor today and cleared the fault. After 10 seconds I got the same fault code.

There are no scrapes whatsoever on the sump or the sensor itself. The 3 wires going into the plug are secure and there is no corroding on the terminals.

Could it be anything else before I replace the sensor? Any comments/opinions welcome :drinking:

I think you'l have to replace the sensor then work from there...

Ya looks like I'll have to. The car is due a service in a few weeks anyway

Is there no light on the display telling you to top up your oil?  Maybe the ECU is smart enough to see that the sensor is broken and ignores what the sensor is saying ...

No that's the strange thing. There is no fault about the oil level sensor or light on the dash. I'm going to order a new sensor in the morning and have it fitted when the car is serviced.
