Like John said, get the oil level down, and check the connection near the crank pulley. That is a harsh environment for the wire and connector. The sensors can also go bad. Getting it out can be interesting. You can check its operation with a bicycle pump and an ohmmeter. It should be the one that triggers at 0.9 bar. VW parts depts. often give you the wrong one and this causes a lot of unnecessary buzzing and worry. BTDT Larry A.
