Are you sure it isn't the oil pressure sensor that is reading low.
I think it is probably THE most common fault on the S6 engined cars - Faulty oil pressure sensor.
I know mine reads low.

Nearest TVR dealer.
Don't know how hard it is to do yourself.
I think there is a little bit more to it though than just screwing one out and the new one in.

But, IIRC they cost around £40? Can't remember.
