Servicing your clio yourself (dci)

[Wanda]

I am sorry as its not a sport but thought to get some advice.

I tried to service the clio myself and managed everything except the oil filter.

How on earth do you get to it, especially if you have big hands.

fuel filter was through the wheel arch



air filter was a piece of cake



this is how the oil filter looks like from under the car.



access is terrible.

buy a belt or chain they are about £5-£10 from halfords etc.

and go in underneath if you are trying from above.

Or the pikey way of doing it would be to shove a screwdriver through it for leverage.... not recommended though!

worst filter to do ever on a 1.5 dci

Filter cup is the only way I'd recommend
