[Warning Light] Instrument Panel - warning light problem

[MarcoLingo]

Hi last week I bought my first Berlingo, an 03 2.0 HDi

Can someone tell me what warning lights are supposed to appear when you first turn the ignition.
I see Handbrake, Seatbelt, Engine Diag and Battery and Air Bag only

The preheater warning lamp doesn't come on at all. What does happen is the Low Fuel indicator comes on, even with a full tank and then goes off after a few seconds. At this point if I start the engine it fires

Also the elctronic readout for oil level gives a different reading every time I start the engine - Full, then empty, then two blocks etc, completely random

Can anyone give me some pointers please as inconsistent warning lights seems worse than none at all to me

Thanks very much

Mark

Hi Marco welcome to the forum you wont get pre heat light unless its freezing or below you should have oil light I think then it will go out once started. All your other lights seem right from memory. Check your oil on the dip stick to be sure, there is a sensor for the oil level and it could be playing up it looks like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-107-20...541258ca88
Have a search on the forum for more info on it and location

Hi Tomcat

Thanks very much for the ultra-quick response. The oil reads OK on the dipstick, so I guess it must be the sensor, as you described. The oil light does not come on at any stage however, which is a little worrying. The STOP light might also not be working...is there a way to test all these lights to make sure they're functioning properly?

Thanks

Marco

The oil level sensor is on the back left of the engine and according to Haynes the oil pressure switch is fitted at the front of the block above the oil filter or into the oil filter housing depending on engine type, so check wiring to that. The stop light should come on if brake fluid low or coolant low so try testing these sensors and check wiring.

I think the stop light comes on also when the handbrake is applied??

My oil level changes depending on how I'm parked, if left on a steep incline for a while it'll show nearly empty when starting.

Hi

Thanks for all replies. In this case it's giving different readouts on my drive every time. Also the oil lamp never comes on. I emailed the dealer, just to get it on record within a week of purchase, and will call him tomorrow. The forum, this thread and a couple of others, has been really helpful

Cheers

I don't have an answer (sorry) but just wanted to say you might get more replies by starting a new thread since you've posted in one concerned with warning lights

Cheers
