UPDATE:

Oil change/sensor change seems to have fixed it. I ran it for 20+ minutes up and down the road watching the vagcom and 99% of the time it was ok - sensor reading ok. No warning light, got oil up to temperature, probably went about 15 miles mixed in town/highway. Everyonce in awhile looking back through the log it was reading low pressure, but it was only at idle and then only when it dropped below 700ish RPM. Any chance this is normal and the car knows not to fault on these errors? It wont' read them in park, but it will in drive idling and its only sometimes when the rpm drops down.

Mostly - I'm glad there's no light and I don't have bad problems.

High points:
-easiest to get to it while oil filter is out.
-Sensor on the 2.7 is right above oil filter housing it screws in towards the front of the car (plug faces back of the car when installed).
-24mm deep socket for the sensor
-had to drop sway bar (left ends attached)
-had to pull the rubber intercooler(I think that's what it is) hose and steel one (not fun).
-Steel section screws into sump with 2 #5 allens.



Thanks for your help guys.
