Oil light and warning light flashing on Peugeot 206 petrol engine - experience and tips wanted

Hello, this also happened to my Peugeot 207 from 2004. It flashed on the speedometer and the oil light came on, same symptoms as yours. I found out that it was the wiring harness on the oil pressure control valve that was defective and oily. The repair was a bit time-consuming and if you say you had a bad experience with your mechanic, I would advise you to find someone you can really trust. It's no small matter if there's something wrong with the engine. However, the mechanics at my garage were great and explained everything to me in detail. They first measured the oil pressure, then checked the oil pressure control valve and the wiring harness and then repaired everything. So don't stress, it's annoying, but it's one of those things that can happen and then has to be repaired. Hope your Peugeot is back in shape soon!

Hi, thanks for the tip! Your description sounds pretty similar to what's going on with my Peugeot 206. I'll get in touch with a reliable garage. Can you remember how much you paid for the repair? And has anything else come up since then that you should have had repaired?

Hello, yes, I had to fork out €350 for the repair. It was about this oily wiring harness on the oil pressure control valve. It wasn't exactly a bargain, but I had to go through with it. And you know what? Since I tackled that, the engine oil pressure control system has been fine. No more blinking, no more stress! To be honest, nothing else has gone wrong since then that I would have had to have repaired. Really, take it to the garage and have it checked. It's good to have that behind you and not have to worry anymore. Keep your fingers crossed that it's just that with your Peugeot!
