My friend has a 1999 306 XR 1,6 with some problems with the instrument panel.
The type of panel in his car is this one:
Is it then possible to change to the type of panel that has an oil leve gauge?
If, will the oil level gauge work on his car, since it doesn not have this on the original panel?
Like this one:

I don't think they would have put a sensor on the sump if it didn't have a gauge to report to.

The panel will work in a 1.6, but the oil gauge wont work as there is no sensor for it on the 1.6 engine.

Yeah, at the gearbox end.
