    I noticed over the last 2 months that my sensor is always showing "Oil Ok" with full circles ( that are indicating that is full ) but when I check it manually it was even below 1/2. My question is what is the first thing I should check ? And is it easily accessible so I can change/replace parts...

    Hi guys I’m having a nightmare with this car at the moment. its a Renault Espace 2007 2.2 diesel. it had an oil leak a few days ago so I decided to change the oil on it. I drained the sump and then took the filter out. When removing it seemed that there was shiny metallic specs on the filter...

    Hello all. After a bad experience with my Clio MK4 last year involving a stretched timing chain that set me back almost £1000, the mechanic recommended changing my oil once a year or even more often. I make on average 5000 miles a year, but drive at an average of 12.5 miles per hour (London...

    Hi all, I am the owner of an automatic 1.5 diesel 2018 Clio. I have a warning light on saying ‘check anti-pollution system’. Garage have done diagnostics, they said it needed a new oil levelling sensor and this was the only fault showing. Have had the part fitted but the light is still on? Does...

    0w30 or 5w30 .. presuming £ is not an issue for the owner. The engine is a 1.9dci 130bhp 8v. I've heard of 0w30 being used for the first 50-70k miles then the switchover to 5w30? Why? I've also been told to stick with 0w30 too as its thinner and will get in the nooks n crannies quicker?

    I bought a used Clio and I was informed by the previous owner that the dipstick is from another car, so I bought a new one in my local car parts shop. I changed the oil and the dipstick says the level is maxed but when I start my car the oil _ _ _ _ _ _ symbol flashes and sometimes when I corner...

    Hi all. I recently had to top up oil in my Clio and noticed under the filler cap there is some milky coloured oil. Now I know this can be a sign of a head gasket problem but I am not experiencing any other symptoms of such. For example, no overheating, no white smoke from the exhaust and the...

    Hi, when i accelerate round a corner a little, sometimes all these warning signs come up, (what i think is the oil pressure one as its only up for a few seconds), but then disappears after 3/4 seconds or so. it has been happening a bit more recently but still quite uncommon and only when...

    Hi, more of a curiousity rather than an immediate issue but my Mk4 clio 1.2 appears to be destroying oil. I find myself having to add a litre or two every few months to get the level back on the dipsick. Im pretty sure its a D4F engine? am sure someone can tell me otherwise if not. Is this just...

    My 2007 Opel Movano (same engine as Renault master) has the oil light and stop light on. I have been to a garage who have changed the oil and filter, checked the oil pressure. They didnt have time to troubleshoot further but suggested the oil pressure sensor was duff. I changed this sensor...

    Hi all! New here. I have just bought an 05 DCI 65hp version and have changed the oil. It looks like just over 4 litres came out more or less I didn't let it drop for too long. I put around 4.2 litres back in and checked the dipstick. It seems that no matter what I do the dipstick is coated in...

    Hi All, I have a 2015 Kangoo Maxi. At 66000ks the turbo failed. I dropped the sump also to check the suction for the pump and it was clean. I removed the pump and found the pressure relief valve was stuck open. I know this was the reason for the turbo failing but I never had a engine oil light...

    Hi, My 1.5 dci seems to be consuming more oil than it should be, about 3l per 1000 miles. It’s got 101,000 on the clock and had its turbo changed at around 92,000. All injectors run good. there’s some whitish grey smoke on startup and when pulling off, once up to speed only has a little bit of...
