Engine light on and shaking on Golf Plus

Hello everyone, I had a problem with my Golf Plus this morning. After starting up, the engine light came on and the car started to shake, which I felt all the way to the steering wheel. I also had the impression of a loss of power at one point. Does anyone have any idea where this could be coming from and how I could solve this problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

Start by checking the spark plugs and ignition coils, as a misfire could cause the symptoms you're experiencing. Inspect them for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Let us know how it goes or if you have any further questions!

Thank you for your reply, but apparently according to the diagnosis it's coming from the oil pressure switch and the rear heater core temperature sensor. Could you please enlighten me on this point

For the oil pressure switch, check if there's any oil leakage around it or if the wiring is damaged. A faulty switch can cause incorrect readings and trigger the engine light. For the rear heater core temperature sensor, ensure the connections are secure and inspect for any visible damage. If you're unsure, it's best to have a mechanic inspect these components, as they can affect engine performance. Let me know if you have any further questions or updates!
