Re: c3 picasso oil pressure light
When a friends picasso HDI gave the low oil pressure message I cured it by removing the sump and cleaning the oil pickup screen, I also removed the gauze filter from the turbo oil feed pipe.

Re: c3 picasso oil pressure light
it happenes to your friend only on startups?
and what is the -gauze filter?
i realy wanna resolve it . if i will conecct with lexia can i see if the pressure is realy low? or it could be a bad sensor.

Re: c3 picasso oil pressure light
Took mine oil yesterday very very black , looked like it jad been rolled through a sand pit. Also just over 4 litres of oil in the sump ,Ive just this min got my moblie mechanic here finishing off a service. He said hes seen worse but this was pretty barn mucky. He also mentioned 4 litres in a small sump would build up presser too. Hes flushed it twice i did start the job yesterday but the rain beat me , Nearly done. Only 75 for a full service i think thats pretty good.
