Hi All, just changed the battery on the car, as usual it pings up all types of 'faults' so  I cleared them but a couple had stayed on, 053273  control module for instrument cluster, U1019 missing signal for oil level/temperature  -intermittant, so is that looking like the module or an oil sensor (part numbers ?) and if so where are they ?, Also has 09- no faults found or DTCs not supported by controller or a communication error occurred, although it lists 4 subsystem parts etc, Happy Christmas to all Briskoda's cheers Stuart.

Probably a wiring or connection issue with the oil level/temp sensor. Inspect rather than buy bits. It's in the bottom of the sump, wiring outside. 

 

And if this fault wasn't there before the battery change, just leave it for a few drive cycles and see if it sorts itself out without any action.

Thanks wino, does it matter how many fault accurances pop up with VCDS ?  I suppose the best time to change it would be when I change the oil and filter ? I will rescan it in January just before it's MOT. Cheers Stuart

How many are/were showing?

 

If you did need to change the sensor then that would be the logical time to do it, yes.  But I would say the sensors tend to be far more reliable than the wiring that goes to them, from what I've read on here.

 

I think it was showing 7 times. Like you say I will check the wiring, are there any weak slots in the loom, as I presume it's where it flexes ?
