<x-charset iso-8859-1>Among other possibilities, the likely reasons for a flickering oil light are low oil level, too slow idle, very hot/thin oil (eg stopping after some time at highway speeds), a worn (but not necessarily worn out) engine or a combination of all of them. VW does not consider a flickering oil light at idle to be a problem as long as it goes out when the engine is accelerated a little. I think it is an early warning of overhaul needed; maybe a very early warning, depending on how gently it is driven. Dave.
