Oil Pressure Switch...HELP!

Norman Dee · 02-05-2012, 10:47 AM

Hi everyone. I really need some help.

I have a '06 Peugeot 307 1.6 HDi 110. When I put the ignition on the "Oil OK" message comes up on trip computer but every now and again it will cut all the power and "Oil Pressure Too High/Low" will come up and the STOP message appears on dash. Then when I turn it back on, its fine. Usually happens when I accelerate hard. I believe it is the oil pressure switch. I've bought a new one but after spending an hour under the car with my rubbish Haynes manual I couldn't find it.

Any other solutions would be appreciated but I really want to know where this switch is.

Thanks, Ray.

May also be in need of an oil change/filter. Expensive oil is these days but the 1.6 needs clean oil. 2 years on warranty is fine but when you foot the bill for repairs I would change at 6,000 mls. max. I will check the switch pos. for you, be back shortly.

Oh yeh, did the Oil and Filter change couple weeks ago, does run smoother but hasn't fixed anything. Thanks for getting back to me so soon.
