Oil level
Hi, I use the info in my manual on how to check the oil level but on the screen I get check your users manual.
I'm told to warm up the car then without starting it push the button until I get to the oil level, that's the problem, it says not avaiable and to see the manual. Could this be a sign of a bad sensor? 2015 XF Sportbrake Many thanks, |
Howdy!
Once engine is warm, switch it off and go have a cup o' tea.. After 10 minutes the warm oil will return to the sump and then you can perform the no-start oil check. |
if none of that works, after your cup of tea, lift the hood and try again.
|
You can also check oil level when cold/before starting engine by doing the same procedure (start button without foot on brake pedal) without waiting the 10 minutes.
|
Thanks all, I will try but not much hope, would like to be surprised :-)
Cheers, |
It worked
I tried it when the engine was cold and did get the oil level to show.
It was about 50%, after a drive I checked again after waiting and it said I should add 1/2 a liter, guess the second reading is more accurate. Thanks again for your suggestions. :-) |

Thanks, I'm going by the level when warm, now both cold or warm show a full level.
What happened to a simple dip stick ;_) All the best, Kim |
