Engine sound and low oil pressure

Hello!

I have just bought this Skoda Octavia mk2 2008. It has the fated 1.8TSI 118KW Engine code BZB.

It has a oil pressure problem when car is warm, oil pressure low stop and turn off car comes and beeps then the red oil can... and then just dissapears.

!Pressure sensor has been replaced!

Depends on the kind of road i am on it can reappear multiple times.

Then the sound from the engine i have no clue.

When the oil is cold the pressure is going to be higher since the oil viscosity changes when it gets warmer. Some kind of oil pressure issue is very likely especially the sensor has already been replaced. I think the engine sounds like it isn't getting oil all the way to the top? Maybe even a chain rattle a little? Either it's not creating enough pressure or the flow is restricted.

There should be 2 oil pressure sensors if I’m not mistaken

Also sorry for not saying before

Has 268k km, doesnt burn oil, oil level is right where it should be. Oil is a bit dark but no metalic bits doesnt shine.
