I actually have two of them now, but haven't installed either of them yet. I did take the sensor apart, though.

 

It's built a little differently, and I have some doubts that it measures exactly the same thing as the original.

Do they stop the error in the dashboard? in fact that is the most annoying part. If the error in the dashboard disappears it's worth it.

 

It looks like the thinner version does not have minimum level detection. The original has a small strip at the end that looks like it would trigger when the minimum is met. 

You have to be careful to read the oil level like any other normal person with the stick:)) but again if the annoying error disappears from the dashboard than is worth it.

To reach this goal, you just need to install any kind of VAG 3Pin Oil-Level sensor somewhere in dry in the engine compartment.

But you need to install it in such a way so it would not trigger "low oil level" alert. Unfortunately is not that easy in this case but you could somehow get a normal oil sensor and make a contact on the level circuit so it does not trigger the error. 

This could work indeed for some people.

Und das gibt dann keinen Fehler, wenn der Sensor nicht im Öl hängt? Was zeigt VCDS dann für einen Ölstand an?

No, I don't know why, but a dry sensor mounted to the harness calms any error messages.

Why shouldn't it be as easy as that? All you need is a cheap oil level sensor and some cable ties

Keine Ahnung, aber das ist ja auch nicht wichtig, wenn man die Fehlermehldung so umgehen möchte..

Gents,

just a friendly reminder that this is the English language part of your beloved A2 friends board. So it would be highly appreciated if you would try to stick to that language instead of posting in German. 

 

Oder auf "gut Deutsch": Hier nix schreiben auf Deutsch! 

 

Thanks a lot!
