Hi

2006 Pluriel 1.4hdi. Just changed clutch and decided to do an oil change at the same time. Filled to the correct level on the dipstick but the dashboard indicator says low oil and the spanner light is on.

Where is the sensor located so I can check I've not knocked a wire off ? Is there any process I should have followed to reset the system after battery was disconnected ?

No. This is the procedure for disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.

Thank you very much for the reply. I left the car overnight, went out to it today and its now working properly.

Given that its Easter and a time of miracles perhaps a blessing has passed over my car :-)
