Why does my Peugeot 307 have insufficient oil pressure warning?
Our 2004 307 has been great with no problems. Recently though it keeps beeping at us and flashing up ‘Insufficient Oil Pressure’ warning. Only seems to happen when its warmed up and even then only as you pull up to stop.
What kind of oil should I put in my Peugeot 307?
John. I would suggest either a dodgy oil pressure switch (cheap – try first) or a dodgy oil pump – less likely. just checked the oil we put in and it was 5/30 – this is in accordance with the Haynes book – the range is 5/30 to 10/40 – would I be better to put the 10/40 in, not sure what I should be using as the engine ages…
Why does the oil pressure warning light keep coming on?
Oil pressure warning light keeps coming on and setting off the stop warning lights on the dash. Engine is up to the mark on the dip stick. Is it faulty oil pressure switch? Just don’t know where to find it! Assistant: Have you checked the fuses? The dashboard bulbs? Customer: No. Assume as all coming on the fuses must be good?
How can I tell if my oil pressure is low?
I’d 1st suggest measuring the actual oil pressure with separate mechanical gauge – this can be plumbed into the engine via the current pressure switch port – if you use a Tee piece you can keep the pressure switch plumbed in as well and so see if the low pressure light corresponds to a low pressure reading.
Why does my Peugeot 307 have low oil pressure?
If it’s sticking open, then, you’ll have low hot oil pressure, but, as it’s mainly open when cold anyway, you won’t see a difference there. Had the same problem with my 2006 307-1,6 today.
