Well, my old oil filter was really stuck into the plastic cap. I managed to separate it by pushing an inch wide metal tube up, to release the clips. It was an old Bosch filter, so that might be why it didn't just fall apart !!!.

That's sad bro, keep us posted please. I wish you had kept the Citroen because that's what I'm driving. I'm having a problem with the electric plug to the diesel filter on the Citroen? Slide the tab back and pull? I can't see anything there but it's stuck. Cheers, hope you get some good news soon.

You need to reprogram the parameters so that the car's control unit understands that the additive liquid is at 100%. If you don't do this, it won't solve anything.

Maybe a bit late for this, but if the car is sitting around be sure to charge the 12v battery E Niro has a hefty "parasitic" current draw, and could kill the 12v otherwise whilst it waits for the repair.

Any reason you don't want to keep driving it before the service? Kia seem to replace the whole motor and gear - everything - the car I just bought last week had just had it done before I bought it - so not too much risk in continuing to use it. Good thread on the "SpeakEV" forum recently with subject "Keeping car when warranty expires?" which covers this including a good in-depth summary by a retired engineer. His recommendation is to change the oil at 300 miles, and again at a few thousand, then every 10k miles after that. As for Hyundai/Kia's supplier not fixing the problem deliberately? "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." although possibly if they change the design then that's a sort of way to admit that there is a problem, and then maybe they have to replace loads more free of charge... Not sure how the law works on this, and its probably different in different countries anyway...

Hiw did you manager to unscrew lower bolt next to DPF..i cannot get to it

I like that color. If you charge with a fast charger charge only to 75%. It is to (more) slow after that. You have also a 7,5kW ac charger. Eco mode, reduces the power of the car, not the regen. The regen you can program it or change it manually.

I mean driveshaft

Hi. If i want change front left cv joint exel peugeot 307 Should i drained the automatic transmission oil be ?

Thank you for the video. Had to get this job done quickly today and paid £230 for the privilege, so my advice is do it yourself!

You're really a master! Thanks!

Genius ! I have to replace the axle beam mounts on my Partner Tepee Mk II which has the same arrangement. Peugeot make it a marathon job but you did it in a much easier way. I rarely follow anyone on You tube but you are the Man. Such a brilliant job and without a full workshop or special tools. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you !

Thank-you Liked & subscribed 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

😂😂😂

A correct size magnetic drain plug is an improvement and no manufacturer could show it caused any issue and hence not a valid excuse to refuse warranty.

I got my dealer to change the transfer box oil AND I supplied them with a new magnetic drain plug

Oscar you must find the C4 and buy it back 😂😂

Good advice, also remember to keep the car as standard as possible, avoid putting bigger wheels and tyres, as this increases air resistance and weight.

Was going to buy a kia ev let's see how you get on Dave

Thanks, for showing about the hidden bolt. Am I right in saying you can only get to it with an open ended spanner? I ask because I'm having a real problem undoing the bolt. Any suggestions please.

Thanks for your video , my 301 has the purflux from the first time (original) , Hi from Greece -West Macedonia

​@fix-and-drive-diy-repairs we had the reduction gear oil changed on our 2021 24,000 mile Hyundai Kona AND got them to fit a magnetic drain plug, they said no one had asked for it to be done before

Great car my 2021 e-Niro 4+ Yacht Blue has done....... 7,045 miles. Don't forget to retax it on 1st March 2025 to get another 12 months tax at £0 instead of £180 when EVs get charged from.1st April

This was fantastic. Thankyou for this. Clearly explained from just a d.i.y guy to many others. 👍 i have a DS4 2016 Diesel auto. Keep them coming

Thanks so much for this. Successfully just did our 2018 2.0. would have had no idea where they were without the vid! Got Bosch ones for £16 too!

I have the same c4 grand Picasso 2016 the citroen oil recommendations on the car say use ( 0w 30 ) but u used (5w30 )

thank you for this video, I am going to do mine soon this helps a lot. Halfords sells the same design filter too, no necessary to go dealer because I don't have one near me. I would just cover the opening with bags to prevent dust and particles going inside while changing filter.

Love your logic and economics, good luck with the car and your 200000 mile target

Hi. Have you done a coolant change on this car type.

How many miles has the car done buddy?

Very interesting and helpful but why go from turbo change to air filters 🤔

Best to heat your engine nice and hot before removal much easier

If most of your routes are around town you'll be fine - but those longer journey's get expensive. And don't forget, your range is massively reduced when it's cold.

Japanese cars rust... people claim VW cars like VW, Skoda, Seat are reliable... they're no more reliable providing they're serviced. Just like you said.

Not related to the mechanical side... but have you found a solution for the horrible little cup holders inside?

Fair play for trying this haha. I think I will just pay again at 120k

I just drove from the UK to Germany and back for the football, was a good run for cleaning the DPF :p

Great videos, love your style. I have a 2017 C4 Grand Picasso and am looking to do all of my own maintenance. Where do you buy your filters?

is your 1.6 blue hdi engine euro 6?

Wasted 28 minutes🙃 he skipped most important parts of the job, how he tightened pressure plate bolts, how get center of the clutch disc, don't waste your time...

what size spanner is needed on the dpf pipe please??

That scew that holds that bix together where the orange paper stands how to put it back together

I am too poor for a electric car but in the future i will surely think about it!😀

Hi is it same clutch with 2.0 BlueHDI? Thanks

Wouldn't Shell Oil 5W-30 be okay to use..?

Please still keep another car ready for business.

Well done on the new car. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with it compared to your Citroen diesel. I'm not sold on EV cars. All the best to you!

Good effort but entirely wrong method. Pushing on the bush rubber and centre is wrong and can cause misfitment and damage. You MUST use the right tool for the job readily available online. Pro vs home diyer bodgit

Great video. I'd recommend changing the rubber bushings on the air box too, as it's common for the to degrade and allow the air box to move and rattle. There are 4 bushes in total (all the same). 2 are seen at the base of the bolts that the engine cover clips to, and the other 2 need the air box taking out as they're underneath. Part number is 1422A4. Usually comes as a pack of 4. Beware some that sell individually.

I broke my rib 2 years in a row chaing these filters on mine. Sat on floor outside the car, leaning over the door sill, put all weight on ribs. Very painful for several weeks. Great video. Very informative
