Oil light and warning light flashing on Peugeot 206 petrol engine - experience and tips wanted
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2001 Peugeot 206 owner is experiencing an issue where the oil light and a warning light flash on the speedometer, suspecting a problem with the engine oil pressure control. Another person shared a similar experience with a Peugeot 207, where the issue was traced to a defective and oily wiring harness on the oil pressure control valve. The suggested solution involves taking the car to a reliable mechanic to check and possibly repair the wiring harness and oil pressure control valve. The repair cost was around €350, and resolving this issue prevented further problems.

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!

Hello, thank you for your feedback! Your experience sounds encouraging and it's reassuring to hear that you didn't have any further problems after the repair. The cost of €350 sounds a bit steep, but if it fixes the problem, it's definitely worth it. Like you said, I'll take it to the garage and get it checked out. Fingers crossed that it works the same for me! Thanks again for the useful advice and for sharing your experience! Keep yourself updated. See you then!

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!
