Yes i can still get out to the shed thankfully. There is a 206 and Xantia I intend to fully strip down which should give a few extra videos, and plenty of time for editing
It is not a video i have planned, i have no 1.5 dci's in at the moment and have plenty to keep me busy as i only do this work in the evenings/weekends when im off work. Coming up is a berlingo cambelt, a 2.2 HDI cambelt, and the an Avantime V6 engine removal to do the cambelt. Have a mates dad who wants rid of a dead clio 1.5 dci, although its at too strong a price at the moment to justify buying so im playing the waiting game until it becomes cheap enough to buy for stripping. Might eventually get round to using it for a clutch removal but cant see that video happening within the next 6 months.
I have since sold this car on. However in general the gearbox there will de a drain plug and a fill plug. Find the fill plug first and make sure it can be removed and accessed easily. If it can then drain the old oil out, replace the copper washer on the drain plug. Then pour in new oil into the fill plug, a funnel such as the draper 26327 which has a tube and will make it easier. Fill in the new oil until it starts to pour out of the fill hole. Once that happens remove the funnel and refit the plug. 26327
Yup its there, i drive peugeots myself which put the filter in the engine bay in a nice easy to access spot. Although ive had a fair few renaults in clio, megane with this engine they all seem to tuck the fuel filter in here behind the wheel arch liner. Yes at times i did go what in the F is it doing there, but look at the engine bay there isnt really any where else it could go. The rust on the radiator support yes it was very bad, but it was replaced actually if you see in the video its replaced by the time the under tray goes back on £80 got a new one. The rest of the car is sound, just seems to be that part that rots on Modus and Clios.

I desperately need help advice I’m getting fault code p1453 fuel tank pressure relief valve malfunction!! It’s on Dacia duster 1.5 dci same engine as shown . I’ve had regulator out checked it visually cleaned it spotless anyway. I clear code it runs fine flat out in 1st 2nd 3rd but get above 50mph in 4th it throws the same code all the time it’s doing my head in . Is there anything else I should be checking oh and fuel filters been changed all good . I’m gonna be taking caravan out soon and there’s no way she’s gonna pull anything like this . The dpf pipes down back of engine is only thing I’ve not checked but surely it wouldn’t say fuel tank pressure relief valve malfunction if it was that ??? I’m gonna have to embarrass myself and take it to the dealer I think . Just hoping someone would have any ideas when stationary she can rev away up full no problem hear turbo etc . When code kicks in it goes into limp mode I think as gear shift illumination disappears and no power or turbo
Hi, without having the car myself to look round and plug into diagnostics i am not sure. These components might look clean but they can still be faulty. Im not a full time mechanic, i just figure out these issues and make videos. Generally ill do my research first and then repair as i record the process. A few places to ask; frenchcarforum.co.uk/landing_page www.renaultforums.co.uk There are a number of facebook groups also worth asking on. Both for Renault and Dacias. The Renault ones i know are generally quite good. No need to go to the dealer though, there are plenty of specialists dotted about to go to before going there.

electronik etc maybe tricky.. but if u want to kill a 1.5 dci .. u need some powers :D this shit runs and runs and runs, like a old VW add mine got 260k and yeah 255k belt and waterpump, now the turbo eat too much oil... and ill take it , like a man :D
The electronics don't phase me at all, any issues are well documented and normally its corrosion in connectors, or earthing points, the electrics are generally in the realms of being DIY friendly to repair. Engines are really good, they have been making it since 2001 and now look at how many vehicles now get it including Mercedes.
Hopefully more videos to watch during COVID-19

Excellent video. Thanks
