  • oil filter location on 1.6 THP

    Well what a joke I've serviced cars all my life but have never not been able to find the oil filter, should have only been a ten minute job but I've been searching for the oil filter for over half an hour anyone know where it is on DS3 1.6 THP.

    Right side. Under turbo... Well the oil housing is. You'll see a black cap with a hexagon which takes a 27mm spanner...

      OK cheers I'll go and have another look, why can't it be on top of the engine where you can see it, bloody French.

            If you haven't already taken off the front bumper, then that might help you locate it. The engine is very tightly packed in there, but I would believe V3nn3tj3

            Disclaimer, don't know where it is myself.

              Google image is your friend. This is a 207 but some layout.
              Right is the ecu with battery. On old ds3 thp its the same. On new ds3 you'll find the battery first and then the ecu on the right.
              Left is turbo and the intake hoses.

                It's on the right of the engine. Not the front. You can see the top that unscrews with the hexagon on it.

                  Not much more to say.
