Ph1 172 oil level light

[old_jalopy]

Up until a month or so ago, the oil level indicator on the dash worked fine - shows the amount of 'O's that represent a full oil capacity

Recently however, I now only get the 'oil level ok' displayed with niether any 'O's nor any dashes, although upon checking at the dipstick, theres not been any loss

When the display changes to the trip, the numbers are clear so its not a display issues.

Anyone had any similar?

Are you sure it's not working? Try switching ignition on but not starting the engine straight away and it should come on. Also you can check if the oil is ok by holding the button in on the stalk when you switch the ignition on and it sends the clocks into check mode. Keep pressing the button and it will tell you how much oil is in the engine and how many litres of fuel if your car has trip computer

Sorted. I knew about the trip computer, but didnt realise that if you press the button when 'oil ok' is displayed, it shows the oil level

Thanks for the pointer
