Oil Level Sensor

[pete the elder]

I have a 2008 C4 2L HDi auto.

Can anyone tell me where the oil level sensor is located? When I first switch on the screen says that the oil level is low and needs topping up but according to the dipstick the level is O.K.

It may just be a contact on the sensor but without knowing where that sensor is I'm lost.

Any help much appreciated.

Pete.

It is at the front on the 138hp engine, to the gearbox end and goes into the sump, so should be seen just below the sump/block joint. On the 110 hp engine it is at the back of the engine.

Thanks paul,handy to know for future reference.

The problem was caused I think by parking in a slight dip to the nearside front.The oil level when checked with the car level was halfway between the two marks.The strange thing was that even when parked level after the first warning message the message to "top up" still came up in the display at later start-ups the same day.The message did not show up after that day and nothing was listed in the fault log.I topped up to the full mark and it's been fine since then.
