i have changed the oil and still it wont stop beeping. i dont have the manual to help me with this. i dont want to bring it in if i can do someting myself. the alarm goes off a min. or so after i turn the car on. it is very loud and very annoying. i have to block out the sound my playing the radio loud. i am about to loose it. please help. my neighboor says in the manual there should be something like ' pump breaks three times then turn car on' he says to look in manual. please help i have no manual and am about to have a baby. i dont know what would be more annoying. the crying baby or the non stop beeping.Vw golf change oil alarm wont stop beeping?
there is no change oil light. the flashing oil light is for oil pressure. the easiest and cheapest fix would be a new oil pressure switch. you could also have low oil level or a plugged oil pick up screen in the oil pan, this is more expensive. good luckVw golf change oil alarm wont stop beeping?
The alarm is for low oil pressure. Either the oil pump is bad or the oil pressure sensor is bad.





It's strange how the light goes on right after start up, then goes silent after it warms up. Usually it's the other way around, and means the oil pump is bad. So, it's a toss up.





If the pump is bad, your motor is not receiving the oil it needs to stay adequately lubricated. This can result in the catastrophic engine failure.





If the oil sensor is bad, it may not accurately tell you if the pump is bad, then the engine may fail. Besides that, it will just be annoying.





The only thing you can do is take it to a garage, or mechanic who specializes in Volkswagens. MAKE SURE they have a lot of back ground with VW's!!! These cars operate differently than a lot of cars, and people with background in them will be much more likely to diagnose and fix the problem correctly the first time!!





Good luck!
Take it to the dealer and have them reset it.
What year is your car? Knowing that might help me find a way to reset it yourself without having the diagnostic software to do it.


You may be able to take it to the dealer and have them reset it; if you have receipts showing that you had it done, or that you did it yourself. it should be a very minimal charge, if they charge you at all.
