I see, I'll take a look see if I can find the same age lupo, then its should be ok yes?

Ok ill look into it. I know lambdas arnt cheap cos I bought one for my (cough) saxo (cough), could I take a known good one from the scrappies off any petrol vw of that era?

So if I used an oil pressure guage and it read normal, I could pit it down to a faulty sensor I take it? What about the o2 sensor fault that's coming up? Any way to check if its pre or post cat?

Alright folks. I'm new to the forum and have just bought a 03 reg lupo s 1.4 16v. It runs and drives fine and I know the guy I bought it off who has done a full service on it recently. When the car starts the dash is clear but on pulling away the oil light comes and and beeps. I have read it may be the fuel pressure swith or a blocked strainer in the sump. Is the strainer just a mesh in the sump which I will see if I take it off? Also I think its the eml on too, when on the code reader it says o2 sensor, cant remember the exact thing its showing. Is there a way to tell if its a dodgy pre or post cat sensor? As I'm new to vw I'm not sure... If I go down to the scrappies can I take a lambda of any petrol vw? Or does it have to be the same lupo? Same with the oil pressure switch?(although they're cheap enough anyway) Thanks in advance
