Ive seen a couple of post the same as mine. I was driving my 95 Golf 3 with the 2.0 4 cylinder today and all of a sudden the oil light started blinking and beeping, I pulled over and got some motor oil and put in it. about 10 minutes after driving again, it come on again but there was plenty of oil in it. Someone mentioned that Im not using the right weight of motor oil, is that the only thing it could be? Anyone think it could possibly be the oil pump or something?

Could be something mechanical, but most people use oil
that isn't heavy enough weight, depending on where you
live .... north in the winter, 10w-30 ; in the summer
20w-50 ; in the south 20w-50 all year.

I had the same problem with my 85 gti..did the shotgun approach...change oil/filter...always run 10/40 winter...10/50 summer and have been going with synthetics since new....it runs thicker longer....renew my oil pressure sensors...there are 2 of them....beeping and light no longer an issue....
Have your oil pressure checked...could be due to worn main bearings at the very worse.

Also keep an eye out for oil leakage(major)thru the old pressure sensor valve. You will definately see the huge (sudden) puddle of oil....it will only leak while engine is running....oil leaks between the nylon area where the pin comes out...strangest thing I've seen but it happened...cheap fix
