Reanult 9 Turbo , Oil Level?

[xchipx]

BEFORE i start the car, the oil level says 0 ?
Is this correct ?

Avant de démarrer la voiture, le niveau d'huile indique 0 ?
Est-ce correct ?

Thankyou :)

No, the level should not be zero, and the background should be lit.
So it does not work (as in many of R9 and R11).

Here is the first time I see this meter calibrated in miles.

Non, le niveau ne doit pas être à zéro, et le fond doit être éclairé.
Donc ça ne marche pas (comme sur beaucoup de R9 et R11).

Tiens c'est la première fois que je vois ce compteur gradué en miles.

I would have searched on the forum, but it is very difficult for me to search ( with english ;) )

Is it possible to fix ?

Thanks

Check the connection behind the counter and the sensor in the engine.

Vérifie la connexion derrière le compteur et sur le capteur dans le moteur.

The oil press. warning light is off...
I think the sensor is out of order.

Is the oil pressure and oil level , sensor , the same thing?

[jlez]

No, it's not.

The pressure sensor is at the begining of the hose to the turbo, the level is else where (but I don't remember wether it's in front or behind ??)

Alright thanks :)
It is strange, because sometimes my oil pressure reads 0, sometimes it reads maybe 4 ( even with the engine off ) Strange...

Hello, this is not strange, as far as R9 is concerned! I had the same problem years ago. The electric wires of the sensor were more or less broken and some times came in touch with the engine. And so the oil pressure read nothing and some times it reas 4 or even Five. My advice: change the sensor and fix the wires from end to end.Good luck!
