So the oil and coolant lights started flickering today, checked the oil and it's nice and clean and plenty in there.
So I changed the oil sensors and now the oil if off when I turn the key and stays off when I start the engine, when it's above 1100 rpm the oil light is solid and the coolant flickers?
I've also bought some 15/40w oil to change as I'm not sure what is in it.
And ideas?

Mechanically check your OIL PRESSURE.
Coolant flash is either hot, or low on coolant if you have a coolant level sensor in the middle of your jug.
Always fill the coolant to the top seam on the Expansion jug.
BUT HAVE THE OIL PRESSURE TESTED WITH A MECHANICAL GAUGE SO YOU KNOW WHAT IS ACTUAL PRESSURES…..
Don't use a generic filter, use only a Mann, Mahl, STP, Mobile1, WIX or Genuine VW all others are junk.
I run either 10w40 or 20w50 in my Cabriolet.
