Service Checks - Refer to Service Programme Check Sheet RL236 for the checks to be carried out at each service interval
OCS - (Oil Control System) uses the engine's ECU to calculate servicing intervals as a function of the way the vehicle is used. Should running conditions be considered too severe (e.g. mainly short journey urban motoring) a warning on the dashboard invites the driver to bring forward the next oil change. OCS enables longer oil change intervals while at the same time providing a solution that protects those owners whose driving . OCS employs an algorhythm which notably takes into account the vehicle's road speed and engine speed.
FAP - Diesel Particulate filter replaced when blocked.
Does anyone have a copy of Service Programme Check Sheet RL236 they can share?
Mechanic that did my oil change, thought he had the wrong size sump plug remval tool until he realized that the plug was fitted less than hand tight!!
However the oil filter had obviously had the opposite amount of force applied and needed the bracket removing from around the outside to get the required force needed to remove with a filter wrench.
Obviously the earlier problem is more of a worry. :angry:
You stick in the Plug (sump) Spanner or stick it on and Pull tight till you cannot move it anymore ! I have never used a torque wrench on a sump plug and would never dream of doing so ! also the filter only needs hand tightening

As listed at the start of this, sump plug could be spun off without any bar or ratchet needed. To loose and dangerous especially with a rattly diesel engine.
Oil filter had been applied with far to much force which mean't removing other metal work to get the necessary purchase required to undo with a filter wrench.
Torque wrenches only exert the pressure dialed into them and should be used to tighten almost all bolts (but not an oil filter as this tightens onto a rubber ring by hand). One persons hand tight is not equal to everyone else's hence the need to standardise with torque settings.
Nice simplistic ideal, however my hand tight is more than my wife's but less than say arnold schwarzenegger, you then move onto the tool being used are they all the same length? if not then the force applied again radically changes.
But maybe Renault are wrong for giving a torque setting in there service manuals and a hand tight, or a ¼ turn or nipping it up is the right thing to do!

I have my own Romanian Mechanic in a village nearby and Wow this guy knows my car he knows exactly where to go to look for things ! ie he hit the exhaust when he was doing my winter tire change and he then got the welder and spot welded a little bracket that had come off ! he said that normal but if you leave it the whole system will fall off ! good stuff to have a Romanian Mechanic
He also did my Timing belt at a price I could only dream of ! Es Viva the Romanian Mechanics

for my uncle blue logan just like stuarts red one timing belt set (belt, wheel, water pump)
also the same for clio symbol which is the sedan version of clio 2 the same 1.4 petrol engine
