Sorry if this topic has already been covered,I have a vrs AUQ MK1 and I have have spent some money on her in the last couple of months, I now have a new problem when I come to booting it, oil light comes on flashing red,if I drive correctly I ha e no issues people have said pump and others have said pick up pipe, am assuming if my oil pump has failed it would mean I should not drive the car, but I have done over 100miles due to work so am I right in saying it's the pick up pipe that is blocks or should I change both to be on the save side, thanks for reading any feed back would be appreciated

drop the sump and clear the pick up pipe, its likely blocked - common enough problem. 

 

if its clear and clean then the pump may be gone, but that its only doing it on heavy load i reckon your pickup pipe is a good starting place.
