Hi Guys 
Can somebody please give me some ideas on my problem that I have with my LCR. I was driving home from leeds airport last week when a beep sounded and the amber oil light came on, I stopped at the nearest petrol station and checked the oil level, it was on the minimum mark, so I bought a litre of oil and topped it up but the amber oil light has stopped on. I then put my fault tester in the 16 pin point and it says that theres no faults.
I then went into my local VW garage and spoke to a mechanic who told me it could be the bonnet switch that is causing the light to illuminate or it might just need a service.
I have looked all under the bonnet and can't find any switch in the engine bay, so I went to my nearest Seat garage in Bury and bought new spark plugs, oil filter, oil and sump plug and told the parts guy about the amber oil light and he said that when i changed the oil and oil filter it would automatically turn the oil light off. I also mentioned about what the VW mechanic said to me about the bonnet switch, but the parts lad looked at me stupid. I have give the LCR a service but the amber oil light is still on !!! I also checked to see if theres any oil leaks but there isn't. I did notice that there is some sort of sensor bolted to the bottom of the sump and I unplugged it to see if that brought any other lights up on the dash but it didn't, so could it possibly be that ???
Just another small problem as well
My central locking and alarm started playing up a while ago but I thought it was because of lack of use as I hardly drive my beloved LCR due to having a works van. I press the button on the fob once and the drivers door unlocks, when i press the button again all the other doors unlock. The problem was after I pressed the fob once the drivers door would unlock but when I pressed it again the rest of the doors would attempt to unlock but the alarm would sound and the doors would still be locked. This has been going on for a while now but the other night the fob has stopped working altogether but the little red light on the fob still lights up when it is pressed, so I have to unlock the car with the key now but the alarm goes off and it takes me ages to stop the alarm from sounding.... Does anybody know if it's just the batteries in the fob that need changing or is it the actual alarm that has a fault ??
Thankyou to all the guys who decide to give me advice
