Oil lamp lights up and metal shavings in the oil in Citroen C1 petrol engine: experience and solutions wanted

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2013 Citroen C3. I would describe myself as someone with little car knowledge. Unfortunately, the wiring harness on my oil pressure control valve was oily and defective. I went to the garage and they fixed it for 350 euros. Have a garage you trust look at the wiring harness on the oil pressure control valve. Which model do you have exactly and how many kilometers has it already done? Maybe I can then help you in more detail. Keep us up to date!

Hey, thanks for the tip! Sorry to hear you had the same problem. My car is a Citroen C1 from 2015 and now has 140264 km on the clock. I recently changed the oil, but that didn't improve anything. I will pass on your suggestion to my garage. Have you had any problems with it since the repair?

Hey, no problem, that's what forums are for! Since my repair, my Citroen C3 has been running like clockwork, no more problems with oil pressure or anything like that. Given the mileage of your car, it could well be that you have a similar problem to me. It could also just be a common sign of wear and tear. But I'm not a professional, so I would definitely have it checked at the garage. Have them check the wiring harness and the oil pressure control valve. Also be sure to tell them about the metal shavings in your oil, that honestly doesn't sound good and should definitely be checked! I hope this helps and keep my fingers crossed that it's nothing serious!

Hello, thanks again for the valuable advice. I'm glad to hear that your Citroen is running perfectly after the repair. I will definitely take your advice on board and discuss it with the garage. Hopefully it's nothing too bad, I really like my little Citroen. I'll make sure I tell you about the oil sample and wiring harness. Thanks again! I will keep you posted on updates. All the best!
