c4 Picasso engine stop light comes on after starting the Engine from cold

[Les Hudson]

On starting the Engine this morning from cold the STOP warning light came on and also on the screen it said low oil pressure stop Engine which i did then restarted and fault had cleared, i carried on driving and then the STOP warning came on again, after stopping the Engine again i restarted it and all was ok.
I called the RAC they plugged in a diagnostic reader and got the following fault codes P1032 self-ignition before spark / p1033 self-ignition before spark/ p3061 super knock detection /p15A8 oil pressure not consistent with atmospheric pressure.
Any ideas.

Hi. Pop your VIN up first (please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff). I can then relate the fault codes to your specific engine.

I don't have all the information for this specific engine at present unfortunately, but there is a technical bulletin concerning one of the fault codes mentioned (see below).

Now this may sound serious, but you don't seem to have any of the other fault codes apart from P3061, so it really needs further diagnosis. These EB2 engines need very regular maintenance and must have the exact recommended oil due to the 'belt in oil' system.

If I were you I would get it to the dealer and let them do a proper diagnostic on it.

JERKS / JERKS WHILE DRIVING, WITH ILLUMINATION OF THE ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT - IN THE PRESENCE
FAULT CODES P3060, P3061, P1385
Checks:

• Ethanol content
• Compression and engine cylinder leakage rates
• Fuel dilution in oil
• The presence of liquid fuel in the canister
• The condition of the air/air heat exchanger
• The presence of oil in the air intake
• Worn engine oil
• Dirty intake valves

Replacement (Depending on the result of the checks):

• Engine oil and its filter
• Oil separator
• Air / air heat exchanger
• Fuel tank
• canister
• Engine

Thanks for the information

On further investigation by my local Garage, they said the oil strainer was partially blocked causing low oil pressure due to the cam belt being in oil which surprised me.
What is the recommended time span to change the belt?
As my car has only covered 24000 miles would it need changing already ?
Can anyone give me any advice on this matter as i am considering getting rid of the car as i have lost confidence in the car.
