        Now I can clearly see why its so complicated for you to fix it by yourself... Hmm...I advice you to look for some assistance with for example changing a wheel (in case of a tire puncture) also - because you can harm youself... Maybe in that case you should also go to your dealer - no matter how far is it? ;-) Brits ehhh...

          lets see i'm going to buy a used car which one do I get the one with oil all over the place and is obviously not taken care of or the one that looks like the owner has taken care of it and kept it tip top.

              If i had a THP and there was any sign of oil where it shouldn't be, especially new, i would take it to the dealers. Its under warranty and any work carried by non Citroen bods can void that warranty as folk on here have found to their dismay.

              And yes I can wield a screwdriver and have rebuilt engines.

                why the heck would I want to do anything myself when that's what the warranty is for. You paid for it as part of the cars cost why not use it be like wasting money not to.

                  You are totally right - but in some cases it isn't worth going to a dealer... Especially when they don't have a better solution of a problem (and belive me that they have not).

                    Other than to provide you with an engine that isn't faulty..? You've paid for the car, right? I assume it's not stolen..

                      Sounds like you have a very crappy dealer and suggest you shop around for another.

                        Careful

                        MatejDS/ Tomu -me having read a lot of threads on this forum over the last year, OIL on rocker cover can lead to serious problems
                        Maybe its not a serious problem
                        But if I were you I would take it to the dealer PRONTO!
                        Why risk a BIG problem?
                        Ive done almost 17,000 miles on my THP and theres no issue with oil on the rocker cover, never has been, and hope never will!

                          Same here, done already 50.000km without any problems or oil on my rocker cover!
                          If there would be oil on the cover, I would visit the Dealership to fix it. There's were waranty is for, isn't it?

                            Do you think dealer would notice you had any mods done Fabian?

                              We don't use the word "handicapped" any more! and especially not as a synonym to being "extremely lazy."
