Hi all
Long time lurking but first time post.
So, I have an issue. I've got 2.7 hdi Peugeot 407. 6 years old with 35k on the clock.
Previous owner has performed three oil changes in 6 years. Every two years so not based on mileage.
I have been getting "low oil pressure" warning. It happens ONLY after I've been driving and engine is at correct temps (oil and water). It will ONLY happen if I switch engine off, wait anywhere between 1-15 mins, then restart.
I can drive for any distance and get no low oil pressure warning at all. Only if I stop, turn off, then restart!!
I'm going to perform an oil change very soon, then start my own schedule. Every 5k or 6mths. Which ever comes first.
But I was debating whether to do a BG109 engine flush first? Car has age, but low miles. Then re-flush with fresh oil to clear out any left over BG109, then refill with correct grade and diesel oil engine conditioner. Then after 3k, dump oil again, more fresh oil then start 5k regime.
If first oil change doesn't cure warning, then I'll check the sender. If that's ok then something big is wrong!!!
So question is - to flush, or not to flush??? Any advice please?
Apologies if the above is very long winded!!! Also typed this out on phone!!
Cheers
