The Golf's playing up. Must be because I've polished it.

When the oil's warmed up to 80 odd or so, the oil pressure lamp comes on
if the engine's allowed to idle. Rev it at all, and it goes back off. I've
previously had the buzzer come on a couple of times during normal driving,
(ie, above a couple of thousand revs, oil not stinking hot and not
cornering like a loon) but it's always gone off after a second. Oil level
is fine.

Pointers on whether this sounds like oil pump, dodgy electronics or the
bottom end of the engine dying would be nice.

Have you changed the oil recently?

Could be the pump, could be the pickup - have you given the sump a whack
recently? As Carl said it could just be a dodgy sensor. I would just go
for trial and error until it was fixed, but someone with a bit more
knowledge may be able to help!

As for the buzzer - wouldnt worry about it. My main aim when I used to
borrow my sisters Polo was to get that buzzer going. The little thing just
kept going (with knackered head gasket)
