New to this thread so go easy on me!
Car: 2016 Golf GTI mk7 PP
I have a problem with a ‘check oil level’ light that is now on for its second time. Came on last year and VW replaced the oil level sensor as apparently it was reporting a fault. Light came off but strangely mentioned that they couldn’t guarantee it wouldn’t come back on without replacing the hood latch sensor too. I ignored this as I thought they were just trying to upsell me. Turn over another year, the light has come back on. VW have now dig a little deeper and has found out my car has been mapped (I hadn’t been told this at sale in 2019) and are blaming this on the light (ignoring their previous claims about a potential fault on the hood latch). They are basically wanting to reset my ecu to properly diagnose the light but are warning me this could completely mess the ECU up and it may need replacing after (1k bill).
Does anyone have any advice for me please?
