[jamieshaw]

We'll plan on changing my engine oil and filter what is the best grade of oil to use mileage is 112k

Part number for oil filter?

Can I get to sump plug without taking the under tray off?

Thanks

5 40 fully syth oil

Dunno part number for filter

Yes you can theres a hole to access the sump plug

 

[jamieshaw]

Great stuff any brand of 5 40 then

Opie oils has a 15% promotion at the moment if its just oil. otherwise get on to Ebay and buy a full service kit from renaultpartsdirect.

Yes , a decent brand like Elf or shell helix ultra or Fuchs is good. You need 5L

Sump plug is accessed by taking the little round cover off the under tray but remove the whole under tray. Sump plug needs a square 8mm socket - buy from halfords. Also make sure you get a sump plug washer.

Edit - loads of tissues under the oil filter when you remove it as it will dribble a lot.

Yh just oil and filter iv just done the plugs which where very bad glad I did them. Where's the fuel filter located on these then May as well do that at the same time [emoji3]

No need to do fuel filter. it is under the backseat under the cover but its not that easy!

I'm up for a challenge lol why no need pal my car is a bit lumpy on idle now and then and still the same with the new set of plugs well it's a bit better now may just be down to age.

I use shell helix in my turbo good oil imo

 

[cs_dave]

Optical is right leave fuel filter alone dont need doing lol

 

[jamieshaw]

I think I'm going to get that oil as well mate just on opie oil web site now

 

[jamieshaw]

Ok well I leave the fuel filter out then lol think eBay will best for prices.

 

[jamieshaw]

Sites a bit hard to use or I'm just being stupid

 

[cs_dave]

Try see if any codes for gsf or eurocarparts 2

 

[Gus]

Wont be the fuel filter (the lumpy idle) will be injectors. If you do injectors do proper searching here to make sure you get the correct injectors from the right place. A lot of places claim injectors are for a 182 when they arent and cause start up problems.

 

[cs_dave]

Are 172 injectors the same im sure they are

 

[cs_dave]

Think ive got a set of 4 on a rail if your intrested @jamieshaw

Just over 5l IME. A 1l bottle usually lasts a few changes to top up the last bit.
