Oh I should have read this thread ugh!! In Gold Coast Australia they wanted AUD$60 for original Citroen C4 1.6 ltr petrol paper oil filter and smart axxs me decides to get a OEM from Burson's @ AUD$24 (Mind you I have been buying OEM filters from them for years for my Volvo S70 -@ 460K trade in for C4) Sure enough three months after 60K service, low oil pressure warning -STOP car. Drive 5K to dealer AUD$380 later after they had to clean out all the paper that collapsed from OEM filter into sump, piping and replace with original Citroen oil filter and fresh oil. Lesson learnt the hard way!!!! |

I have had the same problem with a Genuine Citroen filter. I purchased it from a main dealer and fitted myself! I used Total Quartz 9000, also from the Citroen main dealer. My C4 is a 2005 1.6 Petrol with 45,000 miles. Both oil and filter were changed 8432 miles and less that 10 months ago. The engine was well drained and the filter bowl emptied. Never had a problem like this before. I have always done servicing myself and two of my previous cars have passed 180,000 miles without major engine issues. I had to fish out the broken bits of the filter from the filter bowl. After flushing out the engine, I have fitted a "MAN" branded filter and "Commer" SYNER-G brand oil. I noticed that in the MAN filter looks like the Citroen one on the left, with thicker struts and has the little circular piece with the manufacturers date code in the centre of the filter. The Citroen filter had struts that are like the filter on the right! I intend to take the filter back to Citroen an see if they are interested. |

Filters are something that are worth getting from the dealer. For the tiny difference in price worth it for peace of mind. That and a few people have had issues with non OEM filters causing problems. | ||||

Hello, I have a similar problem with my C4 2.0HDi, it has been sat on the drive for about 5 months without being used, started it up last week fine, and took it for a run, half way through the drive the low oil pressure warning came on, so I have had the oil and filter changed, at a local garage, this did not clear the fault. I found this thread and changed the filter to a genuine Citroen filter, I have started the car, but the light comes on at start up, I was wondering how long would it take for the fault to clear out of the computer, after installing the new filter, I didn't want to take it for a run, just in case it was low pressure, the engine sounds as normal, any help would be gratefully received. | ||||

Disconnected the battery for a bit. That will usually clear a fault. It it comes back on then, might be worth looking at other bits. | ||||

Would this cause any oil starvation, any noise or just flag up the warning? | ||||
