I am experienced enough in unusual / unexpected oil warning lights on my auto check to comment... Check the part number of the cotton reel type sensor you have fitted. The ones audi use in these engines is different to the ones vw use in the golf family engine despite looking identical.
I have fallen foul of bargain hunting and fitted a brand new vdo oil gauge sender unit from vw heritage as unaware of any differences; it was significantly cheaper than audi. The internal switching contacts for pressure warning operate differently for vw and mine constantly triggered the beeping at 3000rpm.
If you have only just ventured there in your run in routine that my explain why you have only just experienced it.
Check the numbers or if unable to see any I would try a good second hand unit that can be verified as coming from a 5 cylinder engine.
You live and learn.
