Hi,always service me car with 10w40 semi syn, but in manual it says 5w30 energy saver can be used Total future 9000,i have found some on ebay 3 x 5ltr for £60 which i dont think is bad. Any one used this oil in a C52.0hdi and what do u think ?

I would say that`s a good winter oil the 5w 30. 10w40 in semi synth diesel oil is fine all round really for the HDI in UK climate. I think it`s about 11 quid per 5ltres at GSF............it`s Fuchs oil and very good.

Thanks for that, probably stick to my free castrol 10w40 from work.

Welcome to the forums simonspeugeot

Excellent links there. I haven't been able to find the Quarz Future 9000 around here, even the Total stations don't have it.

Hi just found out my freebie oil is Castrol endurone 10w 40 semi sun,which is a low sulpher oil for heavy diesel engines eg.hgv which is what I drive will this oil be okay? I have been changing it every 5k. Just going off topic a friend has an 02 plate 110hdi and the clutch has gone will this have a dmf? I have told him about the valeo replacement flywheel kit,his car has done 92k. Thanks

If it's a C5 it'll be a solid flywheel.

Mine had a DMF and was replaced with the same last year.

Hi thanks for reply how much was dmf ?

Post by **myglaren** » 23 Feb 2010, 20:05

Don't know the item price. I had a new clutch and flywheel plus assorted other bits and bobs done for £500. They did fit a Valeo clutch and flywheel and would almost certainly obtain them from GSF.

Now that's interesting - and worrying. I was told that PhI 2.0l HDis didn't have a DMF. Now you've made me fear for my wallet.

Nope, they do have a DMF, i know i worry too. I spend a lot of time in crawling traffic and im constantly worrying about the effects that will have on its DMF.

My SX C5 had a replacement clutch at 70K miles as the DMF gave up, even though the friction plate was aparently bearly touched. Ive read it before that they tend to fail around that mileage. That one was replaced with a solid conventional flywheel, its still going well at 120K miles.

My VTR C5 is just about to turn onto 70K miles, but the clutch feels fine, very nice. Our previous C5 estate had 104K miles when the clutch friction plate was changed through wear, though the DMF was still fine.

Not really sure what defines how long it lasts, but most cars have them now, even petrols, so its something we have got to get used to i guess.

Mine has now done 150,000 miles!

I've no idea whether it has already had anything done as I got it at 85k. I have his sinking feeling in my pocket...
