My assumption since it came on just after filling it up was low DPF additive, and indeed that's what the computer says. Off to order some now then...

Just a small amount of salt induced corrosion!

Exhaust feels much more secure with the new one in.
That is shockingly epic corrosion Richard!

Good service from Neo Brothers and the fluid came today, so I stuck it in. This continued the trend of every one of these I have done being slightly different! Filling tube is easily accessible with the tank in the car (still managed to make a mess :lol: ). 3 nuts holding on cover - only 1 broke. Cover contained a couple of kg of accumulated crud :roll:

Reset on the computer all done via the engine ECU, and it reset the fault code and engine light automatically.

Quick oil change on my Sister's Sandero. This has the 1.2 Renault engine in it. Oil filter is the smallest I have ever seen - about the size of a small tea cup :lol:

Found the sump plug was inverted square - had to dig out my key that was last used on a BX >20 years ago! Even then I had to file it up a bit to make it fit.

This is the second run on the ramps, had a weep from the sump plug overnight - think I have fixed it by backing it off and putting some more PTFE on it.
