Oil Level Sensor Replacement?
Hi All, I have 2008 XC90 and have had the Engine Management Service Required and the error code reads the oil level sensor. Have checked the oil level several times and also had it checked by local mechanic and all is fine.
It was serviced prior to me buying it. Is my next best bet to replace the sensor? I have seen one on ebay for £49. Is it a smallish job? Thanks, Luke Last edited by Lukerchrdsn; Sep 18th, 2018 at 18:28. |

May actually just be overfilled ..... Sensor, I'd guess its on the sump maybe on at the lower end of the dipstick tube .... hopefully someone will be along who can confirm.

Thanks. I will check again when my wife is home. Suspecting it may be this as recent service was non specialist/non Volvo person. If this is the case what is the best bet do you think? Have some oil drained? Oil change at local independent?

a/ undo the sump plug but don't remove and let about 1/2 a ltr out into a cut off 2ltr coke bottle or similar. b/ an electric pump ... Lidl and Aldi usually have them or eBay .... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-...4383.l4275.c10 c/ as you said your local garage. Hope it helps.
