I have a 2001 2.7t and had a similar issue. The oil sensor light would go on and off and the temp gauge would stop working when the sensor light went on. i replaced it with a sensor made by Meyle, the sensor light stayed off but now the oil temp gauge doesnt work. I plan on buying the oem part now. I know this post is long after the original, but for anyone considering the cheaper replacement oil level sender... DONT DO IT! buy oem.
Did this fix your problem? I'm having the exact problem with my 2001/2.7t: sensor warning light is off after sensor replacement, but now the gauge doesn't work! I'm baffled big time.

update,,,, My 2000 for sure has the oil temp built into the oil level sender and must be replaced with OE unit ( Hella) . Others WILL NOT WORK >..
here is a link to the site with the cheapest one I found.. will update again after my next oil change ..

Mine is a 2.8
Crawl under the front of the car and look at the oil pan . oh I think you might have to take off the under body tray not sure. You will see the sender in the pan bottom.

2000 a6 2.8L - AHA
Hope I'm not waking a dead thread here.
I've got a good but leaking sender, but my engine has it mounted on the top of the oil filter/ oil cooler feed ports.
My pan is completely smooth - no sender.
I'm losing about .5 qt/day. (Sometimes none - same commute...weird)
Anyone else in that position? I think mine is a single pole (wire) threaded type sender rather than the 3-bolt pan mounted version.
