For me this is the whole point of KZbin - in less than 10 minutes you learn how to do something that’s too embarrassing to ask a mechanic how to do and too hard to figure out from a book without making stupid mistakes. Love it.

[@Thediycarchannel]

Thank you will I'm glad you found it helpful good luck with the oil change if you have any issues drop a comment on here and remember there is no such thing as a stupid question we all have to learn we ain't born with the knowledge Thank you for your comment it's appreciated

[@trytellingthetruth.2068]

I'm a little late coming to this video, but a great job of explaining how to do a oil service. Thanks for the tip on how to turn off the oil service light.

[@Thediycarchannel]

No worries at all I'm glad you like it thanks for watching

[@techscrew2]

Thanks pal, bought all the gear to do a service, because I’m a tight arse. I Drained the oil off then Hunted for the oil filter, couldn’t find it for love nor money. Until I watched your video, never seen a oil filter in a plastic housing before. Normally one of those metal can/tin filters. Thanks for tutorial, you’ve just gained a subscriber.

[@Thediycarchannel]

Thanks tech screw I appreciate the sub and I'm glad you found the video helpful

[@1Odama]

There is no mistakes ... as long you can repair it.... Very complete with great and clear instructions for the reset. and tools. Great video mate cheers

Thank you for your comment 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for this and the reset info, I lived in the black country for 15 years and one thing you get is honest people and no messing, top job buddy

[@Thediycarchannel]

I have moved from there now I'm in Wales now Thank you and happy it helped

[@Welshhobo1]

Honestly, thank you so much for these videos - i have the exact same transit i think (2008 110hp FWD) and finding videos on various repairs and servicing is so difficult - i guess because there are so many variants. The only help i've had with mine so far is the Haynes manual - and that only gets you so far.

[@Thediycarchannel]

No worries at all I'm glad you found it helpful

[@Welshhobo1]

@@Thediycarchannel Just one question - where is the release valve for the coolant system? In the book it says it on the right (from drivers view), but can't find anything there. On the left there feels like a valve of some sort but it doesn't turn.

No idea never had to look for it sorry I can't help

Thank you! I couldn't find out the size of the socket to remove the oil filter housing anywhere. Now I know it's 27 mm...thanks.

Check oil capacity, expected 7 L to drop not 9L. Sump sizes vary!!! My van 2.4 diesel 2011 ( ex minibus ) RWD. I needed a strap for plastic housing removal. Socket just slipped !😮

Thanks for the video, very well explained.. 1 question, I have the same van, how many letters of oil does it take to fill roughly?

No worries. If I remember right it's around 6litres ish maybe 6.2l but it's definitely around the 6l area

Hi I have a mk7 2010 2.4 tipper. Would this be same way to service or are they different to the 2.2?

[@Thediycarchannel]

I haven't serviced the 2.4 unfortunately so I can't answer this sorry. There shouldn't be much difference if there is maybe just the oil filter location if anything.

Great vid mate. What do you do with the old engine oil? Can you do a video on replacing the fuel filter. I have a 56 plate transit with the same 2.2 duratorq engine in it.

[@Thediycarchannel]

No idea why unless it's a different design

@@Thediycarchannel it’s because the thing is on so tight no matter how much force you can create the plastic at the bottom starts to miss form.

Ok well somone over did it unfortunately if you don't have anything to get it off it may be a garage job and replace it

[@pargi7982]

Mate. I got a transit mk7 12 plate. I want to change the oil and filter on mine as the mpg has dropped like a mofo. An issue I’ve had since I’ve had it is sometimes when I crank it over it’s not going to start but on the third try it always starts. It’s kind of embarrassing when you’re outside a customers house ready to pull away. Any ideas would be appreciated. I’m in the Black Country too.

[@Thediycarchannel]

Have you given it a full service i.e fuel filter, air filter etc ? I would definitely look a the fuel system pargi I had a similar issue I did fuel filter and it the process found a small air line crack it was leaking fuel but sucking air once I changed the fuel housing it was fine. It did happen again lol but I couldn't find the issue and a garage found it it was a faulty fuel filter housing again it didn't last long that's why I didn't suspect it the second time Do fuel filter first but they can be a knightmare bleeding not sure on your experience but may be a garage job they really are fussy. After that air filter and so on

[@pargi7982]

@@Thediycarchannel I’m quite happy to hand over cash if I walk away without the issue afterwards. I had a full service last year but id like it to be done again. Was thinking of having a go at the oil change myself this time and get it in the garage for the rest or just take the oil I want to the garage and ask them to put it in. It’s just putting your trust into a mechanic. I could do with one that lives and breathes transits. My miles per tank has gone from 490 to a tank to 400. In a touch worried to be fair.

[@Thediycarchannel]

Oil change is pretty easy pargi just do not over fill the oil

[@charleswillard775]

Great vid thx....j.ust emptied mine as thought i had 2-3 litres too much in - above max on dipsick and small leaking around gearbox/crankshaft. But actually had 5-6 litres in which i believe is about right (6.72lt capacity).

[@Thediycarchannel]

Yes that's about right I can't remember exactly tho And no worries glad you found it helpful

[@swldn]

Hello mate, I have bought a diesel filter. But has been thrown off changing it due to air locks. Am I better off paying a garage to change the diesel filter

It depends on your confidence Shouldn't cost a lot a garage as it's easy to get to And it will save you any mess aswel
