Re: Poll: 172 Oil light going out after 2 sec with ignition on but engine not running Thats a bit crap, I ran the engine with the oil pressure switch disconnected, then short it out to earth and still no warning light.... What was renault thinking???:eek:

Can some turn the ignition on and check their clio 172 to see if its the same, I've had the car 2 years and I think it's always been like it, not too sure though. Its only after I changed the oil and checked the oil light went out afterwards that I noticed it goes out even with the engine not...

Hello all, The oil pressure light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is turned and then goes out before the engine has been started. I unplugged the oil pressure switch cable and linked it out which made no difference. I guess there should be 12v at the cable with ignition on but...

It took me about 1hr the 1st time and then about 30mins the 2nd. Remove bumper (The second time I just undone the screws/clips on one side of the bumper and let it hang),3 bolts to remove headlight and then just 3 screws to remove the ballast unit attached to the underneath of the headlight...
