Re: oil alarm buzzer & 15w30?



The buzzer goes off in my golf for no reason. I am going to ground it out.  The buzzer in my rocco went off for no reason when I took this mysterious wire out, turns out it was grounding out the bad sensor..... I re grounded the sensor to make it stop buzzing.

That's a new one to me.  I have never heard of this and have run both these types of oil in many of my VWs of the years.
