Hi folks,
First time posting here but I recently had the min oil level light come on in my 64(15) S3, I was only 5-10 mins from home so figured i'd check in the morning. I took the car to a level place(my drive is a bit of a slope) and checked the oil level, at first the dipstick was coated - wiped it off and put it back in then it was about just below the min line however when I put the dipstick back in and got back in the car etc. I turned the car on and the light/noise disappeared? It now doesn't say low oil level and there's no light or anything.. i'm a bit confused to say the least but planning to nip out to get some oil anyways to give it a little top up but curious to know if this is a sensor problem or perhaps the oil level is okay and it was just a bad reading or something? Worth noting the car got oil serviced last year in like Sept(haven't done much driving since WFH/Covid) so don't really understand how this appeared but hey-ho.
Anyone experienced anything similar? I seen lots of threads about full oil but low light and says sensor might be broken or something but this one is a bit of a different scenario so i'm not 100%.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
