CommentOil sensor turns on 
Solved
1999 Volkswagen Golf 210000 miles
My car has just been tuned but, with the heavy rains that have taken place recently, it started failing. The oil sensor turned on and the vehicle started to lose power. When this happened, I let the car cool down and the levels were alright, so I drove back home but, when I was just about to arrive, the tappets made a terrible sound and I have not moved the car since then. What should I do? Is it the oil pressure sensor? Or the pump? Or what else can it be?

If your car has many driven miles, I simply recommend you to change the oil sensor and pump, and your vehicle will be at its best.
Best answer (according to FRANCIS)
Thank you very much, I've changed what you suggested and it is now working properly.

Tengo el mismo, 1.6 FSI, cambiaron alta y baja y sigo con la misma sensación, que ha perdido potencia, siempre le echo gasolina 98 de BP y no sé enciende ningún error. Tiene 170.000 kms, también le cambié el filtro combustible y el aforador.
