Big mistake on ds3's oil sump It can and will eventually ruin your turbo.. :)

[Superfly Guy]

May last year- its due for a service then? No? Or you have to do 20k?
Its every year OR 20k for THP 155S

Gonna do mine before winter, remove sump plug, drain oil, remove and replace filter and fill with oil
Tricky bit is getting the sump plug off, and the oil filter is awkward, but removing part of the air intake helps i believe
Cant be that hard surely?
Hope not

Il post some pics tomorrow, easy guide.

@ Jamie, you back from Hols, and more importantly is the blaster ready to go?

Im sorry i have not answered but if you get to and honest Citroën workshop you will get a real answer, the carbon sediments can be very small but they WILL not lubricate your turbo but will pass the oil filter..

I just wanted to show you guys this as i have changed more turbos that i can remember on other models, and when i saw that this were a problem on the ds3 aswell i was shocked.. !

I will change mine today, i will make a complete 60,000 kilometers service today, and if someone want pictures i can take them so everybody can see where the things is..


I WILL also take pictures of the original oil pan and the aftermarket one, i got the aftermarket one today and i want to show you the difference..
