Hi,
No offense, but vw Fox's have a 'fox issue.' They're made in Brazil I
believe.  They are not the best ever made vw I think is fair to say. 

( And if you ever have to replace the clutch cable..............about the
worst job I've even seen, up under that dash.  )

I had an 87 Fox wagon that I bought for $400. The oil light stayed on in it.
I replaced the two oil sensors on it and the light still stayed on. Next I
hooked up a mechanical oil pressure gauge to the sensor and mounted the
gauge on the hood. Nice racy look. It indicated oil pressure, plenty of it.
The fix? A good rap on top of the instrument cluster and the oil light would
go out. I never fixed it, but it was obviously the cluster wiring. Something
to consider. I hear VW's sometimes have wiring issues, and I've had my
experience with it.
