Oil Warning Light Blinks Below 1500rpmbws95 12-21-2006, 11:32 PM Hi, our 99 beetle 2.0 with 120k has the oil warning light that comes on and blinks a couple time as you come to a stop. Then when you press on the gas it goes away. I checked the oil and all is fine. Is it another glitch? thanks hako 12-27-2006, 05:56 AM It probably means your oil pressure is low - possibly your oil is in need of a change along with the filter. As your car has a lot of miles on it may pay to change to a heavier oil - don't know where you live but in Australia the most common oil is 20W/50 and for older cars 30/60. Thicker oil means less oil burning and better oil pressure (only an illusion but it works). Good Luck. veedubmechanic 01-01-2007, 11:10 PM 120k miles I would say its time for a new oil pump. 2.0 oil pumps usually give out at or arround that mileage vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
