Hi,

A mate has a 206cc Allure 1600cc , which is showing Oil pressure insufficient when the car is started also the mpg is around 30ish, not sure if this is linked.

When the Oil pressure insufficient is displayed you also get the oil light on the dash also the STOP flashes & you get the warning bleeps.

After you rev the car to 2000 rpm & over all the dash is back to normal.

When driving the car all seems to be ok.

Any ideas on what it might be.

Yes the oil dip stick is showing full.

He has not had the car long, & had a cambelt change & full service about 2/3 months ago.

That's what I thought it might be, but I have no idea were it would be in the engine or how we would check it if it was found.

Non genuine oil filter can also cause this.

Peugeot / Citroen OR Purflux oil filter only!

No oil leaks can be seen.

The oil that he says he used was Wilkinson's Laughing wilko semi synthetic 15w/40 which he said on the bottle is good for most cars. Shocked

He didn't have a manual when he brought the car.

I did laugh when he told me Laughing

But he had the problem before filling up the oil so it's not the cause of the problem.
