Unhappy oil pressure warning why????

Why is my Audi 80 2.8 V6 warning me about oil pressure.
while driving my audi when the revs clear above 3000 rpm on dropping back below this level a sounder is activated and the oil light comes on.
There is no problem. i have measured my oil pressure mechanicaly and it is fine, 75psi at idle and 100 psi at 3000rpm.
so why oh! why do i have this issue.
i have renewed all 3 senders, yes 3 because just behind the crankshaft pully there is a oil temp sender.
i have bridged out senders, shorted them, swapped and replaced them, no joy.
however there are 4 wires 3 senders does anyone out there have the same??
if so is the fourth wire reduntant or is there a place for it? mine has no use that i can see.
Although my car does not have the aux clocks in the console the harness is generic could this be the issue.
i have read loads of info posted on forums buy as yet i can not find a answer to this issue.
Can any one help!
before i adjust the sounder with a large shovel.
