From a quick search most places say the oil pressure sensor is a switch not a sensor so cannot give a reading.

If one exists apparently it will be in instrument cluster not ECU.

Yep, its just a switch - i had to put an old school oil pressure gauge test kit on to get a reading, you can't get one from the car electronics,  either via the car itself, nor vcds - certainly the case on the s6.

You are welcome to borrow my gauge set, but I feel like you are about a million miles from me from something I have read in the past.  I'm West mids

Thanks guys, it is indeed a switch. I'll probably end up just replacing it and see what happens. The radiator needs to come out to remove the manifold, that should allow me to replace the switch before I remove the manifold . The warning isn't coming on at idle either (when you'd expect the pressure to be the lowest), it'll probably be a blockage in a filter somewhere or said switch.
