Have you checked on the dipstick that the oil is at the right level - might be a dodgy oil pressure sender unit (in the oil filter housing I believe)

Best bet is get it on VAGCom and do the usual checks - boost leaks etc.

if the oil light is on this could allso mean you have low oil presser (oil pump)
