My oil warning light and STOP light came on yesterday after some spiritted driving shall we say.After a few seconds it went off again. I've checked the oil levels and everything is ok there. Hoping just a glitch but before this glitch becomes a catastrophe is there anything else I should be checking? Cheers for listening now HELP ME!!! lol ________________________________________ China's ALIVE !!! |

Oil temp seemed fine not that I was looking down there that often in this lovely late night drive. However no overheating. And Yes I did notice in when I was entering a roundabout at a rather over zealous speed!Does it not like me doing very heavy braking lol ________________________________________ China's ALIVE !!! |

Well under heaving braking or oversteer moments, the oil can slosh around in the sump, so ecu thinks your low on oil, so light comes on.________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

its not the ecu or oil level, just a pressure switch and a warning light on the dash.i.e your engine is running dry when that light is on, which is very baaaad! ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
