Oil Pressure Low?

[ValleysC4]

Right recently had the head gasket done on my car and now all of a sudden im getting warning saying STOP- oil pressure level low. Checked oil on dipstick and reading full? Could it be a faulty switch giving a wrong reading?? Thinking of selling now to be honest might go for a diesel DS3 if theyre any good? Cheap road tax too.

You could try a replacement pressure switch (or checking the wire is connected to it) but it would be better to check the oil pressure using a gauge on the pressure switch tapping.

 

DS3s are expensive but they look nice. Beware of the 1.6 hdi engine since the turbo can fail at a low mileage. Also the petrol vti engines can have problems - our C3 with the 1.4 95 hp petrol engine is good but has always used oil so needs to be kept an eye on. If you search on these engines you will come up with common problems to check.
