2005 A3 2.0 TDI oil pressure light

[Limpet]

Noticed the other day that my 05 A3 doesn’t have a low oil pressure warning light that comes on with the ignition as all my previous cars have had.

At key on, I get the following warning lights:

In the rev counter: glow plugs, stability control and engine management lights

In the speedo: air bag, alternator (battery), seat belt, handbrake, ABS and power steering (cycles yellow then red)

No oil pressure light to be seen anywhere.

I would be grateful for any confirmation of:

A) whether this is normal
B) where the oil pressure light is located

I’ve shone a light onto the instrument panel which makes the location of the various warning lights visible, but I can’t even see it that way.

All the above lights go out after a self test apart from the engine management and alternator lights which go out on engine start. In other words, the panel seems to behave normally otherwise.

Any pointers welcome. I should add that the car didn’t come with an owners handbook or manual.

Cheers

My 2006 Passat does not have a light as such, it is taken care of by the display in between the speedo and rev counter.

Thank you. I did wonder if that was the case, but it's good to confirm

Yes , no light . It's displayed on the screen .If you want to test.
Disconnect the fuel pump and crank it for 15 seconds.
