I also enjoy an occasional game of "Find where the hell they hid the oil filter.".

Great Speed Handle work John! Used one myself, for 38 years!

A change to see a speed brace being used these days!! Good video again as usual John 👍👍👍👍👍

Great advice and video mate thanks for taking the time to make and post it👍👍

Thanks Just bought one today ..looking forward to changing oil on it glad you mention spanner size Marra

Great video just done my van recently by following your steps Thanks

Before watching this video I used to press oil filter into cap first, and then nervous if spigot was seated in recess or crushed or snapped off. Thanks for sharing how to do it correctly.

The joys of paper filters. Had a Skoda fabia in the workshop this week. Hadn't had an oil chance in a few years. The O ring had gone flat so the oil was leaking everywhere.

Thanks, Good video. Was going to go to the garage and get interim service costing £145. See this and thought I'll have a go myself. Done it no problem with ramps. Thanks for saving me money👍

Nice To Get A Little Glance Of What You Do 40 Hours A Week ! Of Course I'm A Hard Core Subscriber And Will Watch Any Video You Make With Great Interest ! 47 Thumbs Up

Very clear video and commentary. Thank you so much for the info and explanations.

Nice and straight to the point video cheers mate.

John great video best by far . A great help . Thanks . Dublin Ireland ☘👍

Fantastic..great information about snapping that lug off the filter...cheers

Nice job well done. I did a double oil and filter change on my 1993 Diesel Mondeo, this was my first of many Diesel's, I could not believe that the oil still looked black as coal. I then changed to a semi-synthetic oil, and noticed better mpg, only 2 to 3 miles per gallon, but my annual mileage was circa 45k at that time. Mineral oils do not retain contaminants in suspension for prolonged periods, I found this out when I used to rent a council lock up car garage, and after an oil change, left the used oil in a newish tin, forgot about it, then many months later, was puzzled as to why it appeared new/clear?. Compare to fully synthetic, where as an experiment, I retained a small amount in a sealed jar, this was in 2004, and it's still as black as coal.🤔

Just got my car back from service and had a leak on driveway.. think from oil filter stopped now so must have been residue . But as you say annoying. I like how you used a solvent to clean it . Great idea . Good video

Thank you for sharing sir, good tip with the filter too 👍🏻

good vid. sound and straight to the point. no phaffing about. I got the same motor in mine. tho went to check the oil and the whole dipstick tube came out.. anyone else had this happen.

Thanks very much mate, will get that done today.

Top job ! Very professionel thanks 👌💪

I call these Pringle engines, once they've eaten one turbo they just can't stop...

Fantastic job there mate 👍 It's good to see you fit the filter to the housing first then you know the spigot is firmly in place. A lot of videos show them fitting the filter into the cover first which surely won't let the spiggot locate correctly. Glen.

If you notize, the oil dripping of the dipstick is already black, that is because this engine´s drain plug is sitting about an inch higher than the bottom of the oil pan so you never get the last 1/2 liter of oil out of it, this and the banjo bolt with a mesh screen have costed so many turbo´s that aftermarked you can get a oil pan with the drain plug further down, as far as I know neither Citroen/Peugeot or Ford would recognise the problem so owners had to pay them self for turbo´s

Lovely video a great help thank you 🍀👍

Just think in a 100 years looking back at these videos.... Be like us looking back at steam powered cars.

excellent video, thank you.

thank you for the vid..helped a lot👍👍👍👍👍

The early 1.6HDi engines had faulty injector seals, it's one way that carbon ends up in the oil and knackers the turbos. There's a banjo bolt in the turbo oil supply with a mesh screen that gets clogged and starves the turbo of oil.

Thanks, I've changed the oil on my car 😊

Video of John at his day job 👍

would like to see more the car maintenance and repair how to's on your channel

Hi John The battery terminals looked like a clean would help.

Hello John! Very good guidance video. I'm looking to do exactly this job on my C3 Picasso. Tell me, have you ever heard of a speedbrace referred to as a "tear-arse"? I don't know if the term is universal or just a Longbridge thing. Anyway, good to see the mechanic mechanicing and not just pissing about. All the best, Mart in Solihull.

I always used to try and keep my Defender up to the fuller end of the dipstick, but it uses large quantities of oil if I do. It uses oil until it gets to bang in the middle of the dipstick then the level doesn't move until the next service. So I now fill it up to half way and leave it.

Made it easy, thanks

good video well explained i have a 0.19 pug but it takes 0 .30 oil not 5 .30

Nice video.

Good video.

Most people probly would say "yaaaa" some line tech work. I did that for a while load test the battery, check coolent ph/ freeze point, Inspect for brake pad wear, visual for leak's, smoked rotors(sticking pistons/ floating hardware) fill out the check list so it could be put in the data base for the repeat customers you could tell pretty much what you would see befor opening the hood coolent ph and battery state of health deterioration generaly fallows a predictable curve of decline sure wish it paid more thogh

Reminds me, I should change my oil, it has done nearly 1 year, almost 10000km. Due before the end of the month, the little display has been telling me that for the last week.

Thank you 👍

Very helpful

Thx mate

That filter placement was definitely designed by an engineer, not a mechanic! A quart of oil is now over $6 US, here in the States. I loved how you cleaned off the excess oil with solvent, a touch of professionalism. You are a man of many talents.

Nice video

Thanks John, will that service reset work the same on my 54 reg 307? The dash display looks very similar, so I assume this was the same era.

What was wrong with spin on filters eh ? When I serviced my last transit I was shocked with the plastic filter housing

Hi John. Great video. I have done the same at my Peugeot partner van but after job a have done the low pressure oil light turned on, when I rev a bit up is going off but then come back again. Don’t know what’s wrong with it?

👍👍

Hello John, that was my day job more than 30 years ago, ....but i worked on Trucks and Transporters. When i see your vid, it came all back like it was yesterday. Have you not a rollable wasteoil pott? Its your back, that kills everybodys health, when you must work nearly 50 years in this job. Hope you can retire soon, how many years you have left? Best Johann/ in english ...John😉

Thanks. Why does the air intake hose go to a dead end at the oil filter? Doesn't make sense to me

as an expat now in Aus the sparsity of diesel cars over here always amazed but with no MOT (outside NSW) there are not the tight controls over emissions and hence servicing so those diesels that are around tend to be dirty, mobile smoke machines but I understand that they are soon to be banned up there is that correct?

Wonder if you could get something to suck the rest of the oil out from the sump plug

Cheers

I Just changed my oil filter and I swear there was no old o ring! I just put my new one on but not sure if I put the o ring in the right place as it was fairly tight to do up. How wrong can I have gotten it? Lol

Look very similar to the MK4 mondeo filter, but that needs a cranked filter tool to remove.

Good video John, I do hate to see all the plastic on modern engines but it's standard now.

thanks

Clean tidy job John,crap French car though but I suppose they do keep my business going.

You can't get all the oil out of that sump. There's 500ml left inside because of the design. Therfore using a extraction machine is better on this engine

Is oil filter without that notch on the filter good too for replace!?

Its a shame I dont understand a word he is saying but nice video!

is this your shop John?

Renault too !

Twastard automotive lol.. Love it. I wouldn't mind seeing more car vids tbh.

Always Always replace the sump plug washer, its just not worth skimping pennies when servicing your own car

Nice instructional video, I've just bought a 2009 1.6 75ps and am giving it a once over in the engine bay and I have found the engine top cover is covered with a black residue around the base of the injectors and the cover, that seems to be baked hard and is like a bit of coal. I am chipping it out carefully with a screw driver and blowing it out with an air blow gun, any tips on what has caused this, I'm guessing an oil leak that's pooling on top of the cover then getting baked hard, or leaking injector seals. any advice greatly appreciated

Do you check the oil when the engine is cold? Or should you run it for a while first? M

jeebus f'ing christ, i spent ages looking for the oil filter on mine, expecting it to be an actual metal cased coke can sized filter. I felt like such an idiot when I gave up

Thanks M8 ,Did you used to demolish Chimney Stacks ;)

Me again, a bit of searching tinternet tells me the black carbon deposit is from leaking injector seals and will eventually kill the turbo if not fixed. Now to check the terms of the 3 months warranty!

What solvent do you use for washing the oil off?

Und der blau Donau wird grau!

Oil change 10k, i usually change 5k petrol or diesel. My old Peugeot 106 xnd i did 3k miles.

Careful on the new version of this engine, they changed the oil filter seal from square cut to round o ring, seen a few where garages haven't realised the motorfactor have sent the old style

Took my almost new, Peugeot Partner to " Carrera WORX " in Brentford, West London, they cracked the housing of oil filter, drove to Norfolk next day then discovered the leak, when i spoke to them they tried to blame me. I`m sure none of them are time served mechanics. Never again will i go to a greasebodgers garage.

Could you imagine this guy at your nice clean new car it would come back ready for the crusher never seen such a clatty mechanic

Oil is black and dirty just few minutes after put new one so...

Little hul... 😁😂

You left about 250ml in the sump...poor engine sump design

I've seen worse filter installations, but not many.

Can't stand that style of oil filter myself, every one I've ever touched has been seized solid, as if they've been done up with an impact gun.
