Default Blinking Oil Pressure Light

So I've been having a problem with my oil pressure light coming on for some time now. Long story short I had the pressure checked, and it was Ok. I replaced the Oil pump, Oil pressure sender and the oil level sensor, all to no avail. I was at the Audi dealer, and talked to one of the mechanics about it, and he said that the only thing left to be wrong with it might be the instrument cluster.

When I turn on the car, it's not on. Then after I go 15mph or 2000 rpms, the oil pressure light comes on and beeps 3 times. Oil pressure light is always on after this. The car has been doing this for quite a while, more than a year.

Update : I replaced the gauge cluster yesterday with a different one, and I still have the Oil pressure light on!! VAG-COM does not show a "oil below min" warning.

I don't know what else to do! The car is out of warranty and has 83k miles.

Help!

Default you've hooked up an inline pressure gauge to verify good oil pressure?

sounds almost like a blockage somewhere in the system.
