PEUGEOT BOXER ENGINE SERVICE (RELAY, DUCATO) OIL CHANGE, INC FUEL, OIL AND AIR FILTER REPLACEMENT

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

I'm buying a Boxer campervan tomorrow and this video has inspired me to start servicing my vehicle myself. Basic service in my T5 is over £200, ridiculous. Cheers

[@dantong9074]

Great video, especially pointing out the keeping clear of the drainage pipes under the windscreen. They do block up easily and cause all sorts of issues with the electrics in the engine bay in that area. My wiper motor being the last thing to get moist and play up when the drainage pipes blocked with leaf mulch

[@PentlandYeti]

Excellent instructional video. Thank you!

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@basdebruin2355]

You don’t need to unscrew the 2 bolts of the bracket of the fuelfilter. Just lift the canister an inch or so and it unhooks itself easily from the bracket. Replacing the canister is a doodle as well. The locking ring needs about 30 nm of torque. First I didn’t know that the light cluster unit had to be moved an inch to the center. I didn’t know it, it gave me quite some hassle. Checked it on KZbin and Bob’s your uncle 😉. Saved quite a lot of money. This video you posted, for me, being Dutch is very easy to follow. Thanks for it. Saved me a lot of money . 👍👍

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Thank you, and Im glad it helped

[@Rhysowen5418]

Great video Andy. I’ve done many services before but still watched all of this because everything was so clear and precise

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tomnorton7234]

Hi Andy, thank you for such a informative and well put together video, you made it look very simple and explain things extremely well. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your posts. Tom Norton.

[@Tony-jd9id]

Good clear video. The screws on the air filter lid are notorious for rusting up and being impossible to remove. Worth replacing with ss ones. I’ve had to replace the whole housing on one van.

[@davidtodd907]

I managed to get mine out ( just 😀) and replaced them with SS pan head self drilling screws M4.2 x 32mm

[@darrenupton5500]

Them fuel filter caps have got to be tight as it will leak Diesel. They would only need to make the seal a bit thicker. Have you done a coolant change at all.

[@jin6000]

Thank you so much for this!

[@HelenAndyTravel]

You're so welcome!

[@glossyprince]

Very clear and precise , nicely presented, pleasure to learn from you

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Many thanks!

[@jrewillis]

Great video. Thanks. Also the middle drain hole on scuttle if blocked will drip onto injectors and cause them to rust in place.

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Thanks for the info!

[@bencollins863]

That is the cleanest engine bay I have ever seen! You could eat yer tea off that! 😅

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Thanks 🤩

[@P-Bee]

At 18::07 you turn the engine over without starting it. How do you manage that? Mine always starts on the first crank. Great vid, thanks.

[@HelenAndyTravel]

I pulled the starter relay in the fuse box ( and forgot to include that in the video)

[@marty6560]

Andy brilliant video,well explained. It would be great if you could do a gear box,transmission oil change.

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Coming soon!

I had Peugeot boxer 2017 and when i press gas pedal more it sounds like Jurassic Park's dinosaurs. What should be the problem? I visited 2,3 garages they can't understand. I advised me to purchase new van lol. Thanks

[@samiam7095]

Cheers Andy, giving me the info I need to complete the service myself! A suggestion; maybe you could create chapters within your video for people to easily skim. Great video and I thank you.

[@HelenAndyTravel]

That's a great idea!

Great video Andy…. Very helpful 👍

Thank you

[@Tayplayzz]

Id advise to fill the new filter up with diesel aswell so it stsrtd first time and also helps eliminate air in the system

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Thanks for the tip, I did

[@sarahtheorme]

Very useful thank you!

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paulbampikyte]

Hi I noticed your using 5-40 not 0-30 as recommended will it be ok

[@marinbancila4981]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@robsonm9449]

To change oil filter cut 1litre plastic bottle put in filter twist out and all oil stays in bottle

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Great idea, many thanks

[@GurpreetSingh-op3ie]

What goes in yellow cap, it looks empty? Great video 👍.

[@adiljutt4332]

Well Explained great video...one thing when you changed the diesel filter can we fill'up diesel in it to start engine quickly otherwise may be it take times to start

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Yes, correct, fill the canister to remove as much air from the system and it’ll make it easier to start.

[@CarlJones14]

Great video. I've done oil and filter on mine, but one air filter screw wouldn't budge, and mine is 2014, which looks slightly different to your 2015. I used my plastic ramps, but I didn't actually go under the van. I could just reach the sump plug and filter.

[@derekfoster9357]

Hi Andy - nice vid. The top grey clip is broken on my fuel filter. Know where I can buy just the housing lid? The whole filter housing is about 80 quid, which seems steep.

[@HelenAndyTravel]

I agree, £80 is steep, so I think your best bet would be a breakers yard

[@bobbyfischer6786]

Well done, very thorough. Thankfully filter easy to access on these... May i ask yourself or any viewers: usually how much coolant would you say you add each year(if any) in cm. I understand its not a closed system so there will be some loss. Last two of these Ive had it was about 1cm top up on the header tank every year (about 10k miles). Would be interested in othersfindings. Many thanks for video

[@roycameron6943]

Great video, really helpful 👍🏼

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chrisbaker1239]

Hi Andy, nice to see someone attempting the service themselves. We have just bought the same model and year van! How have you found it in general, any issues so far? Keep up the good work. 👍

[@CyclingExplorers]

Good useful video. What was the new seal you put in the sump plug?

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Hi, I used a crushable copper washer to get a good seal

[@cyrilchanuc8246]

Bonjour à tous c est normal que souvent le ventilateur moteur s'enclenche souvent fourgon récent 65000 klms merci

[@rampolitical9167]

Amazing vedio. Can I please ask you the drain sump plug how did you reseal it?. Usually they try to sell a new one but if it be resealed and sturdy. That's what to go?. Please share

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Hi. I just reused the existing plug the over the previous three services, saved the money, and I have not experienced any leakage.

[@noumanchoudry2598]

Very helpful video 👍🫡

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Thank you

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

Can't you fit some fine mesh over the drain holes?

[@HelenAndyTravel]

To be honest, its just easier to clear it out each week, it takes seconds

[@lobby1529]

where did you find the reference that this oil is for this engine? I've looked around and no one seems to refer to a 5w40

[@HelenAndyTravel]

I went to my local Peugeot garage and used the oil they recommended

[@wildbenny5405]

Very clear and great video. Btw How can I know the engine oils isn’t overfill ?

[@HelenAndyTravel]

You use the dipstick, and refill gradually so as not to overfill the engine

[@startaylor123]

Fantastic vlog 👏 I notice you have a lacquer on the engine and components, did you do this yourself? And do you sometimes get rain water entering the engine bay under the poorly fitted / designed windscreen scuttle? 😏👍

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Hi, thanks for your comment, every now and again, I'ii wipe my engines over with an oily rag whilst Im inspecting them, hence the shine during the video. I did suffer from water ingress, so i used clear silicon sealant to stop it.

[@SF-ei8df]

How did you reset the service interval indicator when you had finished servicing - very informative video thanks for sharing

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Hi This is how i reset my service light 1. Turn the ignition key to the MAR position You must place the ignition in the ON or MAR position to perform this operation. 2. Fully depress the GAS and the BRAKE PEDALS After that, all you have to do is press and hold down the accelerator and brake pedals for more than 15 seconds 3. Turn off the ignition Switch the ignition off and release the pedals, and now this should have reset

[@SF-ei8df]

Thank you for information - Just back from a trip to Wiltshire, on the way home the motorhome broke down and we had a lift home by the RAC 😆, so van in the garage now being repaired so they might as well do the service this time around!!! So much fun this motorhoming lark 😁

[@jamiefarr1101]

Great video, does the engine have a cam belt ?

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Not on the 2.2HDI

[@jachimritch2601]

[@pyromaniacdave2]

Hi andy, where did you get your engine cover from?

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Hi. My cover came with the van

[@misterjazzy]

I’ve booked a service for my 2019 Citroen, relay at ATS garage. They tell me the fuel filter change will not be part of the full service. Can this be correct?

[@HelenAndyTravel]

It depends on the garage

[@rogeryates4205]

Yes you turn ignition on and of a couple of times. Without starting the engine. *

[@ritchycamaro]

Hi, is your fuel filter still working ok? I read lost of leaking problems with these filters after assembling them without the proper torquing tools 30 NM....

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Yep, no problems if you torque it to the right setting.

[@ritchycamaro]

@@HelenAndyTravel hi Andy, but how do you torque?

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Hi. I used a oil filter wrench, and my torque wrench, heres a link to a similar tool: www.eurocarparts.com/p/laser-2075-oil-filter-wrench-65-120mm-LAS2075

[@ritchycamaro]

@@HelenAndyTravel Hi Andy, thx for the info. I found a plastic adapter-tool specific to unscrew the ducato fuel filter. About 30 euros. Keep up the videos! Cheers, Rijk

[@mdkram]

Nice video. Did you not have to prime the fuel filter first before starting the engine?

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Yes I did, I filled it with fuel before reconnected the filter housing

[@TimmysFavs]

Is the diesel fuel filter/housing self priming? Thanks.

[@HelenAndyTravel]

I wasn't sure, so I primed mine.

[@jimb7406]

Yes it is - just turn key to 'ignition on' (don't start the engine) 5 to 10 times - you will hear the fuel lift pump running each time. This will fill the filter casing and purge the air from the system. Then the engine will start first time.

[@GeorgeMorgan-or6dr]

Hi there, am I right to assume this exact same procedure would apply to the 2015 Citroen Relay? Many thanks, George.

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Great question, and yes it does

Anyone know how to reset the yellow wrench service light ? Mine is 2019 I think.

[@HelenAndyTravel]

Hi. This is how i reset my service light, but i thank there are different ways depending on your vehicle: Switch the ignition OFF. Depress and hold the trip meter (mileage/km reset) button on the dash. Turn to ON the ignition, do not start the car. Keep the trip meter button pressed down for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds the display will read “= O″. Release the odometer button. Switch OFF the ignition and then ON to check if it was reset.

[@dirkschelfhout6460]
