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

Any chance the sump design would have changed over time, im not convinced mine looks like that.

Might be worth someone like Jamie taking a look at the Mini and Pug variants of the THP engine and seeing if they are modified too and are compatible with the DS3 THP.

No the sump design is the same on All ds3 but remember that it is the aftermarket one i took pictures of..

Roger that but having changed my oil a couple of day ago Im not sure the sump plug ISNT about as low as possible.

[supernielsen]

Haha i thought the exactly same thing and I do it All the time haha

Here are the old oil pan a bit Hard to see but there were already lumps of oil in the bottom..

[supernielsen]

200 ml of old oil in the bottom.. But thats because the oil were very hot if it way colder there would be more

[Chris_Blue]

Pictures are helpful Supernielsen- wouldnt all sumps look like this though?

[supernielsen]

Yes All oil pans Will have the oil but it shouldn't countain thick lumps of oil like mine did.. but the pictures dont show it i had to clean it a bit to clearly show you Guys..

[Chris_Blue]

Always thought that the oil in THPs became gloopy - thats why it needs changing often

[supernielsen]

Mine is hdi but it shouldn't be a problem on the either just drive With a good oil and you can safely trust the service interval, but change the oil pan først
