nEW 206 OWNER .....

Post by new206owner »

Well, more our lad than me

Ive bought junior a 206 52 plate/2003 reg 1.4 petrol 2 door

Its oil warning light isnt on when the ignition is turned (when the battery and h/brake light comes on)

Ive read this is correct and the light only comes on IF theres a problem whilst running

Is that correct?

id be most obliged for any answers

:love-u:

Welcome to the forum.
You are correct. On post '02 the oil light is done through the bsi, so doesn't come on with ign.

many thanks

i thought the car seller had had me over but he may have thought car was low on oil pressure - he dropped it from £995 to £780 in a few days

doubtless i shall be back for more answers to silly questions

had £660 worth of cylinder head work 13,000 miles ago thanks to a busted timing belt

That was a cheap repair. How many miles has it done?

Similar repairs to the 16v engines in our 206cc's would cost a bit more than that methinks.

in the case our 206 surely a replacement engine would cost less?
