Title: Anyone know how to switch the oil light off?
Post by: Michael. on April 10, 2014, 09:38:49 pm

As title. Anyone know how to do it? I've looked online and on here but nothing tells me the answer.
Its a MK5 GTI 56 plate if it makes any difference

Cheers

By oil light you mean - low oil light or service reminder?

Oil warning light is tied in with the bonnet catch. It know when you've opened and closed the bonnet. Its not unheard of for the catches to go faulty.
