Okay, I don't think this has been off in many years. I do have a much longer bar. The "Notched" Socket is the one I went out and purchased.It just screws out, but with much effort. Some people use a notched socket for better fit.
The seal is an O ring, that is supplied with the filter, and with time it holds the cap like very tough glue. You may need a breaker bar or similar. I use a length of steel pipe as an extra lever.
When refitting it is essential to oil the new O ring or it will deform and leak. Screwing back on also needs force because of the ring. The longer it stays there the harder it gets.
Do you have any idea when this was last opened?
Later engines, eg RHH, abandoned this system.
Yes, all good. Cleaned everything, put the new filter back it, primed it and she fired up and ran like a charm. What is the eloys that I need to put in the DPF tank?I'll bet that gave you a work-out. As shown in the video, screwing back uses force too. Never forget to oil the ring.
Note how the video bleeds and hand pumps afterwards.
Thanks Ken. I not have a special 27mm socket, made for the job.Ron,
I have a notched six sided 27mm socket if you need to borrow it.
Cheers, Ken
No worse LOLLOL No!
I freely admit to knowing nothing about modern diesel engines. I'd prefer to get an exhaust place to cut the DPF out and save all the problems. The black smoke that comes out the back then, will make people think I put a Nissan Diesel motor in it. The early 1978 Golf GLD we had, did not have this problem, and neither did the 2002 Discovery TD5. I guess our 2017 VW Touareg does, but I leave servicing etc, to Barvarian Motor Service. This Citroen is a cheap run a bout that I bought for 2 grand. When it completely fails, it will go to the dump.No worse LOL
I don't think they so. Not unless it has a similar system to MB, AUDI, VW, BMW. They are the vehicle they specialize in. Euroserve in Newstead would be able to. I take it there to get serious work done that I'm too old, and not nimble enough to do anymoreI missed the last post. There is nothing much to be gained by removing the DPF. Citroen's version actually works.
Even if the garage does the additive, still check with EAI so you know what type is needed. Can Bavarian do the computer reset?
Thanks, KenThe CCCQ has a Diagbox System that would be able to reset the Eolys Counter.
Cheers Ken
Maybe I should just let them put the stuff in.Euroserve can reset at a minimum charge, but book it in and advise that's all you need done. Friendly enough to do this reset. But as suggested make sure you order the correct fluid
David, If the car says it is low on that fluid, and I add some to it, will it still work or does it have to be reset to keep operating? Sorry If I sound like a brainless idiot, I have no knowledge on this type of thing.EAI can sell you an aftermarket additive product in 1lt bottles that claims to suit multiple versions. It's less expensive than the factory Eolys product, which for this model will be a 3lt refill kit. You need a diagnostic tool to set the initial amount in the tank because it has no level sensor and only estimates how much remains over time. It is likely sensible to pass this job to Euroserve then.
