Hi,
The Mrs was driving to work this morning and the oil light came on on my 2007 2 litre Tdi Passat. Apparently the oil light came on and a stop message came up on the information screen.
Now the car was only serviced 4000km ago and the oil level seems fine.

I googled it and saw that the earlier model had problems with fraying wires.

Any advice appreciated...
