A: Are you sure that you mean the oil gauge? In a 206, there is sometimes an oil PRESSURE gauge, and always a water TEMPERATURE gauge. The oil pressure should be calibrated in bar, the water temperature in degrees celcius, which should normally run at between 80 & 100 degrees. Did you actually properly check the fluid levels or just add more? If you're unsure, ask someone who knows to actually show you how to do this properly - it may save you a lot of bills!
