04 1998 Oil level Indicator - Hdiuser
On turning the ignition on I get the three beeps and the oil level light shows all --------
The Oil level is correct, there is no STOP warning light and the engine runs fine.
I used to get this happening intermittently without the beeps, this is now happening all the time and all I have done is to have a new battery fitted in the last week.
Does this sound like a sensor issue ?

Thanks
Mike

There is a very precise battery disconnect/reconnect procedure for these (and all recent Peugeot/Citroen) cars to protect the BSI, and if it isn't followed the BSI can be damaged throwing up problems like this.

I am not saying that this is what has happened, but it is a possibility.

You will probably need to take it to a dealer for testing.

its prob just the sensor playing up or car is not on level ground.

Thanks everyone for the prompt replies.
I tried it tonight and it was working fine again, yes I would like to know what the disconnect/reconnect procedure is, that would be useful to know.
I had the battery fitted by a Kwik Fit Fitter so any damage will be down to them.
