#1: expensive oil change Author: top206, Location: cambsPosted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:17 pm ---- after getting my 180 back on the road i decided i would give it a mini service, but me being so lazy i chucked into a garage that is next to my work place, they did the oil change and all was good.
the car then sat at my house for the next week as i was using our pug 308 for work until yesterday.
I noticed a huge patch of oil under the car, yep my new fully synthetic expensive engine oil was all over the floor
basically the garage has somehow cracked my sump im not sure if the overtightened the sump plug ?
after a phone call to peugeot today the new sump is £300 plus the gasket plus new oil and labour the bill is 500 notes
im just glad the bills not mine.

#4: Re: expensive oil change Author: top206, Location: cambsPosted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:28 pm ---- its got about a 2" crack along the bottom of the sump just under the drain hole, im guessing a steel bolt and an aluminum sump dont go to well if its slightly to tight.
the filter is fine

#6: Re: expensive oil change Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:39 pm ---- I was about to say are you sure it is the sump
As a very common thing is for the seal not to be on correct and leak
#7: Re: expensive oil change Author: top206, Location: cambsPosted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:57 pm ---- ive seen it with my own eyes today mate, and they are paying and not me so i bet they would love to be just the seal
@lee, mate you could be right, as they told me they had to drive it on timbers to get it over the 4 poster
#8: Re: expensive oil change Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:06 pm ---- they probably just weld up the sump i guess?

#11: Re: expensive oil change Author: top206, Location: cambsPosted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:24 pm ---- yeh true, it lost about 3 litres all over my drive in the week it stood, i topped it up this morning to take it to work to get it fixed.
