Oil Sensor...

[Guest vin]

the oil level sensor seems to have gone on holiday along with my mechanic... the level shows up as empty on the dash board digital display (well that was b4 the display itself went blank) ;) and it shows up on the darn diag too even though the oil level stalk seems to be showing full (ofcourse it will cos i just drained and added 5l of it) k down to the qurries

1) where is the sensor located???

2) how diff is the replacement work??

 

oh am talking of a 2002 C5 2.0 lx hdi here

it is not just the dash console that has the issue. i have just changed the MAF sensor and done a diag the fault on the sensor seems to have gone but still getting a fault on the oil sensor even though the engine is upto its neck in oil. i am still getting the engine management light and the car still does not do over 2700 RPM so still in limp mode i guess...

now here are my questions

where is the oil sensor located???? is it reachable from the outside???

When I changed the oil on our 2003 2.0 hdi lx I too was told by the display that you get on start up that is either -s or 0s (you know the illogical one that means the opposite to what you think it means!), that it was low on oil, but it had a full 5 litres nearly. It took a day or 2 to right itself, and I have read of this before with this car. Very Citroen. Maybe this is what is happening?

My local indy tells me oil level indicators can be slightly temperamental and NEVER to over fill the engine oil.

 

Never had any problems with same on sh*te old BX shame it's taken a step back. In truth when working an excellent idea to avoid a seized engine, if used.
