    For diesel 2015 onwards. Steps below actually worked after 4th attempt, shocked! 😂 1. Foot on accelerator and keep it depressed.for entire procedure. 2. Power on button twice to switch ignition on but not engine. 3. Press Left trip button until odometer B is selected. 4. Press and hold Right menu button. 5. Pump brake pedal 3-4 times and wait. 6. When Change Oil Warning has cleared, release the accelerator. Job done... Important: It may take more than 1 attempt.

    Hi thanks for very detalied explanations and for the video. i have a 2020 corsa 1.2 130 hp, and have the same issue on belt, lots of cracks but i didnt get a oil pressure fault yet. maintenance personnel at authorized service suggested that wet belt needed to change and everything is acceptable so far. but he also suggests and insists that they also need to change oil sump with brand new one, due to the screws loosening and not fitting properly after cleaning and reassembling because of that they claim that a cleaned oil pan will not be as efficient as before . can i have your expert opinion about that?

    • @MrAutoFixer
      @MrAutoFixer 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You don’t need to replace the sump if you are careful and don’t bend it when removing but some people just want to replace it probably because they just wanna rip it off. I’ve never put a new sump on and never had one leak 👍

    • @MrAutoFixer
      @MrAutoFixer 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Sounds like exactly what I’m showing in the video , car has been off over night and has a misfire when you first start the car in the morning as then is fine after. If you can’t see a leak then the coolant is more likely leaking internally of the engine. 👍

    • @MrAutoFixer
      @MrAutoFixer 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes one fault can cause multiple codes, best thing to start with is to clear the codes and see what comes straight back if none come on straight away then go for a drive and check again, once you have a code if it’s only one then I would start there, also watch the live data and check the operation of the egr and see if it’s works correctly, it’s a transit so it’s defo gonna need at least one injector 😂, another test that’s good on these is a smoke test to check for boost leaks 👍 let me know how you get on

    Great video, thanks. It you would be so kind if you could answer my query. My wife has got a 2018 DS3. We bought it brand new with Zero miles. It has done 8,500 Miles currently. (yes... eight thousand) It has a service, oil change every 12 months. Should we be worried about the belt at this point? Thank you.

      @MrAutoFixer 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey that’s nice and low milage, but I would still have the belt changed at the 5 year mark, as the belt deterioration will still happen over time as well as usage. So I would have it done if it was mine 👍

      @bobmartin5101 no it doesn’t need water pump as they are not driven by the Cambelt on this model, and ball park would be 4-5 hundred 👍

      @MrAutoFixer thanks for the fast response mate. I did actually contact topdon and they basically said they don't know lol. I had the exact same split hose as your video and followed it to fix my own. When you mentioned resetting the dpf status, is that different from just clearing the codes? Thanks

    • @MrAutoFixer
      @MrAutoFixer 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @urbexshauny7939 oh that’s good of them lol and when you go into the DPF there are things you can reset to tell the car that you have fixed it basically like resetting the sensors so they have fresh parameters etc all depends on what codes you have as to what you need to do.

      @MrAutoFixer ok thanks. Borrowed my neighbours scanner and now I replaced both intercooler hoses the Air leak codes are gone and the only one left is the soot levels are not ok, and obviously engine lights on. His scanner can't do forced regens though and I don't want to pay out for one if that don't work either. I'm based in Essex btw

    • @MrAutoFixer
      @MrAutoFixer 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @urbexshauny7939 oh cool, the Mercedes normally have to do a driving regen that you can activate with a scanner, but you might be able to take it for a drive normally a 30 min drive about 50mph and that will do a regen but if it don’t bring down the soot levels then you will need to have it plugged in to a scanner that can activate it then try angain

    My cambelt for my citeron c1 is due to be changed and running fine. Would i still need the sump to come off to check the oil strainer or if im having no issues there is no point?

    • @MrAutoFixer
      @MrAutoFixer 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If your c1 has a wet belt and had been serviced regularly, and your oil light goes out fast when you start the engine then I would say no you don’t need the sump off 👍

      @user-nf2qo1bm8s 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Deffo has a wet belt which has now become the main of my life. I've had a few garages insist it needs to come off to be cleaned . Citeron don't include taking off the sump as part of their price which was vastly cheaper then the other garages! Thank you though!

      @user-nf2qo1bm8s well it’s not much extra work to take the sump off but you will need to change your oil and oil filter also so that’s going to be the extra cost. You should be looking at around £550 for the whole lot, 👍

      The tensioner is ment to move about while running, have you checked the other pulleys for play and noise with the auxiliary belt off ? I use a stethoscope to pinpoint the noise if it’s not obvious. 👍
