The oil level sensor allows you to check the amount of oil in the tank via the vehicle's onboard computer. The sensor on the Volkswagen Golf model 6 is located under the front bonnet, specifically at the front of the oil tank.

To replace the sensor, unscrew the nut next to it and disconnect the connector. After replacing it, reset the engine oil warning light.

If problems persist, visit a garage for a diagnostic check.
