i know its a corsa board, but clubGTi are sloooooooow in replying
my g/f drove from sheffield to darlington friday and car was fine
started it up saturday and oil light is flashing
changed oil, flushed engine, and put new filter on
oil light still flashes
trying to check if any oil is being pushed up to the cam with the top of the engine off on tick over - no oil 
any idea what it could be blocked?
cheers

Oil pressure switch could be faulty, if not oil level sensor (oil levle sensor could eb faulty, really need someone with VAG.COM to plag it on and find out whats going on)

i think its more then just a sensor
if it was running fine it should be throwing up oil when you can see the cam spinning with the cover off yeah? i know my corsa used to?
it has oil on the cam but its fresh oil that has been poured into the hole on top of the engine, so im guessing that wont last long and the engine will run dry and seize lol
im guessing the pump has packed in, or the pick up pipe is blocked
but, ive no idea how to check or free the bits, i thought the flush would of unblocked anything, and the oil has gone down into the sump successfully
i would wip the sump off but ive no gasket for it
