Why does the oil pressure warning light come on in my Audi A1?

I have noticed that the oil pressure warning light sometimes comes on while driving my Audi A1. It usually turns off after a few minutes, but I'm concerned about potential damage to my engine. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

The most common cause for the oil pressure warning light to come on is low engine oil level. Check your oil level regularly and top up if necessary. However, if the light continues to come on after the oil level is normal, it could be a sign of a more serious issue and you should have your car checked by a professional mechanic.
