Oil management message

[Anonymous]

Hi All.
My White magnetic HDI is showing the message "Oil management level invalid" when I turn the ignition on.
The car had it's first 20,000 mile service 3 weeks ago and there is a good chance this message has been showing since then but I have not noticed!
I have checked the oil and all is okay.
My local dealer has also never seen this message before and today after changing a sensor are now keeping the car for a second day as they don't know what may have caused it.

Has anyone seen this before and if so what did you do?

On a lighter note this is my first summer with my RCZ. As great as it is the seats get bloody hot when left out in the sun!

Thanks
Ty

Not seen that message or indeed message apart from oil level ok

Give it a few days and see if it still says it after its been driven a few times.

It may be that the sensors need time to recalibrate after an oil change.

Someone else had this not so long ago and it fixed itself.

Are you sure Abz? Are you not thinking about the tyre sensors after a wheel change, as I remember that post, but I don't remember this one

Well done young man, good recall on your part. I had totally forgotten that thread :clap:

Hi All.
After two days of the car being at the dealership. They flushed the oil and also changed a sensor which did not work.
Finally they changed the chamber the dip stick sits in and that must have a sensor as well as it has fixed the problem!

Thanks to those that responded.

Have a great weekend

Yes, 'twas me that had this issue previously. The fault did clear itself, but has subsequently returned... I tend to just ignore it now

Had this error on mine last week. I've booked in to have it looked at/sensor changed as it's under Warranty.

 

[Anonymous]

Please can you let me know the outcome, i.e. What sensor it was, then I can sort mine out.

Shall do. As far as I've read there is a sensor at the bottom of the dipstick tube that is the cause. But I'll post back once I know for sure.

Just got back from the Stealers, erm Dealers... Apparently, they 're-initalised' the sensor. Either way, it's now reading correctly. 5min Job. If that didn't work it would have been a new sensor.

In case anyone else has the issue, here are more details that I could find. But basically, it's a contact the dealer!

He didn't say, but I had heard there was a sensor towards the bottom of the dip stick. I guess this is the only place it can go to monitor the levels?!

I did find a link on a Russian Citroen forum that detailed it here:

You may have to use Google's translate!

But basically it points to the Citroen CS3 handbook here:

Page 36, describes the situation we have & advised to contact the Dealer!

Must just be one of those "unlucky" things.

I've had three full oil changes and check the oil each month and haven't experienced any problems :thumbup:

Only thing currently showing is my Spanner as I'm due a Service in mid-September (and MOT).

 

[Anonymous]

Same thing, dealer reckons there is a known defect to do with the length of the dip tube. Hacksaw job I presume.

 

[Anonymous]

And my error message is back again!

 

[Anonymous]

Mine too... Had a couple of weeks of it working ok - then it failed again.

Had a new sensor fitted last week, aaaaaaaand........ It still doesn't work. I just ignore it now.

Apparently there has been notices sent out by Peugeot to the garages about this defect. Might be worth poking your dealership a bit and seeing what stirs - or try another Peageot garage

I'm out of warranty unfortunately - so presume they won't even entertain it.
