T6.1 Reduce Oil warning

[burnsy79]

Morning All and thanks for accepting me in to this forum, new the VW world, i have a T28 2021 (T6.1 i think) and am after a little advice if no one minds. I appear to be in the same boat as Burnsy79, I get the random oil over pressure light coming on, seems to pop up around the 2 hour drive mark then disappears, I had the sensors changed which was fine for 2 days then popped up on a short run over Dartmoor. I checked oil level and when cool did not appear to be overly high (4/5) and local diagnostic centre could not identify anything, just a little bit lost, VW want £128 for a diagnostic look but not sure if this is an software update issue as they did not seem sure and don't want to waste that money. Any help would be appreciated, also second question (sorry) my radio struggles to pick up stations, is this also an update issue. Thanks
for all your help.

Welcome!
I followed the video and I’ve been fine since. The light came on once, just after and then cleared. Once that error is triggered it does need to see the significant change before the error clears. If you don’t, you’ll clear the error every time you lift the bonnet and then it’ll come back.
My experience with the dealers is that they will end up just charging you for nothing and frustrating you.

Can’t help with the radio stations, mine has always been ok for that. The forum may have a good thread though.

VW hasn’t yet realized they could sneakily switch the dipsticks to a 1cm longer one
