What type of filter?
It is possible that you knocked the wire off your High Rev low pressure switch on the Oil Filter Flange. It is the white sensor on the filter flange with a single wire on to covered by a rubber boot.

sensor looks fine and wire too.
I can drive the car in longer distance and suddenly oil lamp blinkes and a sound comes too. How about the small sensor on the filter housing.

Check the wire on it and tighten it clean it if it is corroded or greasy
Then I would be looking at getting the oil pressure tested as the pressure relief valve on the oil pump can go wonky and the pressure can drop….

Change both sensors and if you are still getting problems then it's un bolt the sump and replace the oil pump, prime the new oil pump, fit a new sump gasket and a good time to up grade to a rubber gasket and refit the bolts. The hardest part of the job is getting to the 2 bolts near the gearbox as there is not much room and they screw into aluminium so it's really easy to cross thread them.
Oil filters you are best getting genuine VW or Mann filters, both around £3.
Oil pressure sensor on top of the oil filter is the high pressure (White)
Oil pressure senor on the side of the head is low pressure (Blue or brown)

I changed all of 3 sensors but i havent driven the car in 2 weeks couse rain waether. I mounted a afremarket Oil pressure gauge, in sted of the White Oil sensor. When cold shows 6 bar, when temp is 80 degrees, Oil pressure shows 0 bar. Så im not sure If the gauge is one I Can trust.

The Speedo has the oil warning circuitry in it, and the connections to the cluster may be wonky. if you have the Cabriolet type of connections there are tutorials in the Archive section on how to improve your cluster connections.
Good earthing to the engine/tranny, and frame are also worthy of cleaning and or replacing.
The Head to Coil Bracket ground is another.
