Have you put back all the factory wires? Not sure from your description if you are trying to use some of the existing pressure switches/wiring for your guages?

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Re:
It's a 1.6 GTI 1982, the wiring was already there but not in the correct order ie: like I'm the connector the positive was in the pin that was mean to be where the wiring for the sender was ment to go so all over the place, but even after attaching it to the correct pins the oil temp shot up to 150 degrees and the oil bar is sitting on 0 , so now I removed the green and black wire for the oil temp pin but the need still shot up to 150 so now I have disconnected that gauge plug , and also removed the oil bar sensor wire on the oil bar gauge , I will take the car for a drive and see if anything changes, also is it possible to buy the 'L' board separately , just surprised how it buzzes and then it went away and comes back and without any oil light flashing,Early-1800 said
The oil pressure warning curcuit 'L' board is known to play up so it may just be its decide to do it at the same time has your wiring mods.

Are you using any factory wiring in the gauge ciruits?
A S2 '81 1.6 didn't have MFA or S1 gauges so your gauges would need new additional seperate wiring from whats in the factory loom.
If your gauges are showing 0 or full deflection straight away your senders are U/S or you are connecting to pressure switches not gauge senders?
The only link from the exiting oil pressure warning circuit is one of the 2 warning switch wires would be connected to the 'tophat/can' pressure sender if it replaced the loction/switch used but the original pressure switch.
If it was me I'd reconnect to the original factory spec and see if that stops the flashing/warning.
EDIT- note the warning curcuit is over complicated (its a german car), instead of a switch, a wire and light it has 2 switches which operate at different pressures. One is open then closed and the other closed and then open. It also uses rpm from the coil and a buzzer as well as a light. Its easy over the years for the switches or wires to get mixed up or switches replaced with wrong pressures or open/closed closed/open. Also make sure the brown earth wire on top of the camcover is present as this can casue dash cluster issues
From else where on the internet ;
white on filter housing is high pressure switch for buzzer & light over 2kish if pressure is bellow 1.8bar, side of head is low pressure switch and triggers light at idle if pressure goes below 0.3 barearly mk1s have blue wire to high pressure sensor and yellow to low, later cars have these wire colours switched
