The engine bearing clearances expand with heat which, if excessive, will lower the oil pressure. The spring in the pressure regulator in the oil pump will cause the pressure to drop for the same reason. A partially plugged oil intake screen will work in conjunction with the oil pump to cause it too.

Worn main and rod bearings on the crank shaft. This is what creates the oil pressure. When the get worn they start loosing pressure. Also when the oil gets hot, it gets thinner, causing more lose of pressure.

Hi just bought i999 1.6 audi a3 and it has started to pulse when idling and oil light comes on when engine reaches nornal temp what could this be please help

If by pulsing you mean that the idle is fluctuating up and down, this is caused by oil/sludge build up in the throttle valve. To rectify this remove the intake pipe at the throttle valve. Use engine cleaner/degreaser on a rag to clean out throttle valve around throttle butterfly. Open butterfly manually to assist access. The oil pressure light coming on is usually caused by the oil pump pick up becoming blocked by carbon and sludge in the oil sump. If you have a suitable oil pressure gauge, check the oil pressure at the oil switch. Oil pressure should be 3.5- 4 bar at 2000 rpm at operating temperature. If pressure ok, Pressure switch may be faulty. If pressure low you will have to remove oil sump and clean out or replace oil pump pick up. If not done, may result in major engine damage. Sludge and carbon build up caused by oil not being changed often enough. Best to use a synthetic oil.

Peugeot 407, 2.0 litre diesel, 05,loss of power/air surge heard

I am not familiar with the 407 but I would think it is a HDi, if so what you describe is an air leak from a pipe from the pressure side of the turbo, I have had this on a Saab, in that case there was an over pressure switch under the dash and the pipe fell off. Look at the top of the engine, on the inlet side there will be a pipe from the inlet trunking or manifold, it should (maybe with a tee piece in there) go through the bulkhead
