Looks like it.
My housemates clio shows that gauge all the time, it even flashes meaning the oil is below the min but if you check it, it's fine.
#7: Re: Whats this mean? Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Oct 22, 2011 7:29 am ---- Thats a 206 oil level gauge
#8: Re: Whats this mean? Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sat Oct 22, 2011 7:35 am ---- French thing then I have seen it on the Mrs old megane
#9: Re: Whats this mean? Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Oct 22, 2011 7:39 am ---- The PSA version of the oil level gauge is either totally useless OR pretty good depending on which BSI software version the car in question is running

No need to do anything drastic like that
Oil level gauge will soon find the correct level again after a few starts.
#12: Re: Whats this mean? Author: longeatonlad, Location: long eaton, derbyshirePosted: Sat Oct 22, 2011 10:15 am ---- as the above post, as long as the level on the dipstick's fine i wouldnt worry about it.

Shall I guess its the typical situation where the old version is best, then they fiddled with it and the new version is rubbish?

Nope, other way round.
Older versions of the 206 BSI software has a few bugs.
Newer versions are pretty much bug free & can also add extra functionally as well like.
Alarm system armed on normal locking not just with deadlocks.
Automatic door locking.
Red flashing alarm led when the immobiliser is armed not just with alarm.
Most likely is other tweaks to but I cant be bothered to remember them all
#16: Re: Whats this mean? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Thu Oct 27, 2011 1:43 pm ---- that means oil level is fine.
the lines are the lines on your dip stick, if the last line line to the right goes then your 1 fifth of a litre of oil short from being full of oil. look in your hand book.

It doesnt, the boxes are the amount of oil, the oil level in that picture is nearly on the min!
#18: Re: Whats this mean? Author: Dave82517, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Thu Oct 27, 2011 6:06 pm ---- I must have the older bsi software, because my oil level sensor is about as much use as a waterproof teabag! Id get a more acurate reading if i asked a psychic to read some tea leaves and tell me the level!! :
#19: Re: Whats this mean? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:02 pm ---- no the lines are the level, i'm sure they are, or is mine at fault too

Don't forget you need the BSI update, so your oil sensor will be s**te
Use the dipstick anyway
#21: Re: Whats this mean? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:11 pm ---- always use the dip stick mate, only a dip stick wouldnt use a dip stick. them sensors play up all the time., i change the oil evry 5k on my cars so it dont get much chance of running low any way.
#22: Re: Whats this mean? Author: Dutch-HDi, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:15 pm ---- Sorry to go off topic, just a quick question about the bsi update, does puegeot automatically update the bsi software if needed when taken in for service or is it something thats needs requesting when booking the car in
Never had any problems with mine unless i park at the top of the drive thats on an incline then it reads a little low but i always check the stick anyways
#23: Re: Whats this mean? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:25 pm ---- Not unless it's under warranty or a recall

The lines are NOT the level, RTFM, the box shapes are the amount of oil on the gauge.

#26: Re: Whats this mean? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sat Oct 29, 2011 9:17 am ---- so i guess that the gauge on my car doesn't work then.
#27: Re: Whats this mean? Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Sat Oct 29, 2011 2:59 pm ---- i'm wrong again mine does work i checked earlier, it says that i'm full of oil.

As you were the only one to offer wrong advice on the subject, you mean you've worked it out now
