Oil leveling sensor

[Michael Daly]

Hi all, 

New to this group, 

I bought an a4 170bhp with oil leveling sensor fault, bought oil leveling sensor and still on, bought hood lock and still on. Mechanic said he has checked wiring and can't see anything wrong, where do I go from here, 

 

Thanks

Hi these things are a piece of rubbish, if you change the oil as I have after driving the thing still says its low despite having the right amount of oil, if I drive another three cycles so its then nice and hot if I wait five mins and then check it comes right, try deleting the codes and then run it as suggested, its all down to the bonnet counter, worst case scenario yo might need to find someone with VCDS to re adapt the sensor.

Yes iv done this, it cleared at one time for a full day and came up again, lost what to do next, thinking of going to electrical ecu specialist as this is my daily driver and is constantly beeping for weeks and am getting no joy in garage
