VW Golf weird beeping

thom119

Quick question about a '00 VW golf, 1.4l

Sometimes when I go over or around 2k revs there's a beep from the dash
There's no lights on the dash, handbrake is fully off, doors closed etc.

The only thing I can think of is it's an upshift reminder...still a bit unnerving having it beep every once in a while though
Anyone have any idea what it is, and if I should be worried?

Also have my driving test coming up, could this be a problem for the tester?

Did you check to see if your clock is set to the correct time

Oil pressure warning?

With no lights on the dash it's a bit odd. It's not an upshift reminder. Older VWs had a audible signal coupled with a yellow dash light to indicate low oil pressure but this was discontinued on later models such as yours. This warning came on if engine speed exceeded 2,000 rpm.

Check your oil level just to be sure.

thanks for the reply crosstownk,

I'll check the oil pressure in the morning
I've only had the car since late november, done about 1500 miles, wouldn't have thought she'd burn oil this quick

the mk4 1.4s love oil!! the mk4 still has a low oil pressure warning system. the oil light will flash red and it will beep. some have oil level sensors fitted. this will make the oil light light up yellow if the oil level is low. these were not fitted to every car do..
dose the oil light light up when you turn the key in the ignition??
