Oil pressure warning
What's up guys!
Here in Brazil we don't have many Audis, it is very hard to find car mechanics with Audi knowledge.
I have just got an A4 1.8 T 2007 and here is the thing:
My English is poor, I don't know the correct terms you use, but I will try to explain what is happening:
When I put the car key in the on/acc position, this screen will appear
and after it shows the 'oil pressure' warning and then 'Switch Engine Off and Check Oil Level'.
But the engine is not on!
If I turn the engine on, the 'oil pressure' warning never appears. I have drived more than 1000 km with the car.
Oil level is just fine, I have no idea wtf is happening.

The engine must be running in order to create oil pressure. Given your oil level is OK, I would say that as long as you don't get the pressure message when you start you car immmediately after you put the key in then there's nothing to worry about.
If this really bothers you, changing the oil pressue sensor may give you peace of mind.
