Yes, but with the faulty sensor I should get wrong readings by VCDS all I can think of is the sensor itself calibration failed basicaly it's similar thing as with

The only other thing I can think of is either faulty oil pressure sensor. Low oil pressure can trigger low oil warming light or oil pump is on its way out.
 
Can you check with vcds the values for oil pressure while the engine is idling and under the load.

Are you sure that oil pressure has a variable measurement sensor ? As the one for level measure also oil temperature
For low oil pressure there will be a red oil car sign.
 
Not offended. Your symptoms all point towards an issue with the sensor. Yes VCDS is giving an oil level reading, but what is the temperature reading. Although the level is ok there may be a circuit fault in the sensor that is putting on the light.

I will have the new sensor on the 8th and will report the result :)
 
Update here:
1. New sensor - Vika Brand installed - it fits but the sealing ring is to big.

2. Found out that wiring to the service flap switch was broken - after repair it disables the low oil level alarm. In VCDS -> Instruments -> Group 005 -> First info is Service Flap Status. It’s logic is that when its circuit is open - the flap is closed.
3. For now I have to low oil level fault ;)
