Citroen Berlingo (2002): Oil light on, engine overheating and metal shavings in the oil - sensor fault?

Hello, I once had similar problems with my Citroen C4 Picasso 2005 (diesel). In my case, however, the coolant level was too low. The engine overheated and I found oily residue in the coolant tank. It was a bit tricky to solve because, to be honest, there were several problems at the same time. The coolant sensor was no longer working properly and the water pump was leaking. Both had to be replaced and then it was okey again. The whole thing was a real nuisance, but in the end I learned a few things! So if it could be the sensor in your case, definitely have it checked. Hope that helps you!

Hey, thanks for the tip about the coolant sensor and the water pump, I'll have to have that checked on my Citroën Berlingo too. It does sound pretty similar. Can you remember what you paid for the repair at the garage back then? And has anything else caused problems since then, or was everything fine again afterwards? Thank you!

Hey, I'm glad I was able to help you with my experience. I had to pay €52.5 for the repair of the coolant sensor and the water pump. Since the visit to the mechanic, the Berlingo is fit again. It was a tough few days, but since then the engine oil temperature sensor has been faultless! So no further problems so far, the car is now running smoothly again and without any trouble. So have it checked for you too, maybe you'll have similar luck. Good luck!

Hi, that sounds like a pretty good deal! I don't mind a few hard days as long as the engine runs properly afterwards. I would also be happy to spend €52.5 on this. I hope I can be that lucky and not have any more problems. Your words were very helpful and made a lot of things clear to me. I will go to the workshop in the next few days and have it checked. Thanks again for the tips and encouraging words! See you then!
