Yes I was caught by that service light when I bought my duster,,,,Dusters from 2017 and 2018 are the only years that you need a scan tool to turn off this service light,,,And a cheap scan tool won't do,,,,And even certain expensive ones won't work,,,,If you buy a Launch scan tool over 300 pounds ,,Any launch tool over that price range will turn the light off,,,Plus there very handy to have,,,If you drive the car with that light on for to long it will go into limp mode,,,,The problem I had when I rang the Dacia dealer and asked them how much it would cost to turn the service light out,,They wouldn't turn it out unless I got a oil and filter change,,Which I do myself ,,,So this is why I got the scan tool,,
Really good video, just bought a 2018 mk1 petrol and intend to do own servicing. Do you have a link for the service reset dongle, i understand there are a lot of fake ones that wont work.
Glad the video was helpful 😊 Yes, you're correct, you need an OBD2 reader with a specific chip in it. Specifically, you will need an ELM327 Bluetooth reader V1.5, with the PIC18F25k80 chip. I made a how-to guide for resetting the service light, which has all the details you'll need: docs.google.com/document/d/1y9iLTUiTzP9no0Kjtzj1AflVg2NsCkzXug2KOzTQGn8
Why have u mixed 2 color (green and blue) coolant? I believe it is not recommended and it is not good for the engine cooling system when we mix 2 different color coolants. Correct me if am wrong.. 🤔
The green coolant is Renault Type D coolant, which I had spare. This has now been superceded by Renault Type E coolant, which has a few variations for environmental reasons, but is fully backwards compatible with Type D. So mixing them is not an issue.

It's diesel or petrol?
@@Salmanazam123 As mentioned in the thumbnail and in the video it's petrol
