Hi,
Did you fix the issue ? I have a similar problem on my high mileage 2009 Audi A4 B8 allroad 3.0 TDI CCWA engine. The car had 2 oil pressure switch sensors replaced by my local garage without any luck (error code not clearing). As Gareth mentioned earlier on the post are these sensors programming-in parts ?
The oil pressure was tested with a gauge & computer tool and was confirmed OK.
Could this be a mechanical fault like engine wear due to running with low oil pressure, oil pump or / and the oil pressure control valve N428 ? The car at the moment is at an auto electrician for troubleshooting / checking wires etc.
Many thanks !
Stefan
