Great video! These renault engines are actually pretty easy and cheap to service in my opinion! I‘d really be interested in seeing you servicing the injection system, as thats actually something i havent done myself on these yet
Good video mate, keep them coming theres a real lack of videos on the 1.6 vivaro/traffics which seeing as they seem to have so many problems is strange, I have a 2016 145 biturbo and I'm always worried there's something up with it
Thanks fir the comment , should have plenty more to follow.. look after a few of them! the turbos are mega common but doing a video would be bit tricky! ha
Yesterday i changed the fuel filter with your help. Mine has rear secondary air conditioning unit and it is a little bit different the way to do it but i did it. Thanks.
Great video thanks doing my vivaro soon ...I was going to do the sump plug to 20 NM ,read on internet,but think I'll go with the 50 NM you say :) Cheers mark
Of corse Renault will only sell you the full fuel filter housing,,Because they can charge you 50 quid for them,,Insted of the 5 or 6 quid you can buy the filter eliment inside...
Are you sure you connected the couplings in right connections? The middle connection is going to the engine(clean fuel)? And the outer connection is coming from fuel tank(not clean fuel)?
Great video. Do you have any videos on the location of the dpf on a vivaro b? I can’t find it anywhere. I’m guessing it’s behind the tray you took off in this video. Thank you
Great video 👍👍. Do you know what the service intervals are and what needs to be changed? I bought my 2018 Trafic second hand and know it has one service (oil+oilfilter) at 12400mls. Now it has almost 19000mls and i like to know when it's time to do the next service and what's needed. I already ordered all the parts you replaced so i can do that . Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated 👍 officially the intervals are every 25,000 or 2 years (which ever comes first) but personally I think that's way too long! We say every 12,500 miles or a year.. The engine oil certainly wants changing every 12,500 miles at a minimum.. they are very prone to turbo failure through oil starvation due to poor quality oil.. keep the oil changes up an you shouldn't have much bother 👍 The fuel & air filters are officially due at 50,000 / 4 years but again id be doing them at 3yrs / 37,500 max
@@diydaly Thanks for the information. I'm going to replace all these parts at 20,000mls and take that as a starting point. Then every 12,500mls at least oil and filter (this is about once a year for me). Keep up the good work 👍👍
@@curtraaymakers6777 yeah that’ll be ideal mate .. you definetly want to get the complete fuel filter housing rather than just the element 👍 purflux do an aftermarket one
Hi. Do you know where the thermostat is and is it a front off job. I've searched high and low. No one seems to know or not willing to help. Thanks Christian
Me again , lol . Brought a wireless reverse camera , camera wat goes to the reverse light there is 3 wires goes into one plug back of the light down no which two colours I need to conect to ? Cheers
Have a check round all the pipes that are high up , there may be a bleed screw in one of them .. if not run it was the header tank cap off for about 10 minute.. keep the heater on full blow and full heat ; once it’s getting up to temp the air should be out
@@snappyfish no,, just don't leave your add blue go below 30%, on your trip computer,, I've worked for Renault 6 years, 1.6 are a load of rubbish, egr valve show me a most of them before 30000, clutch master cylinder which is located above the clutch pedal changed within months of new vehicles, bottom crankcase pulley oil seal leaks within 10000 miles, I would challenge anybody to take their undercover tray off and you will see the oil leak on vans that's done 7000 miles, workshop we only work on vehicles that are under warranty, shocking
@@diydaly Its the timing chain cover, the sealant from factory is crap and it breaks down.. Renault had my van in for repairing it and engine had to come out less than 12months later its leaking again
@@brownsadventures312 still not had it back yet, had quite a few leaking from the side cover but I think this one was from one of the turbo oil feed pipes

Yeah it was one of the worst id seen! ha
I like the oil filling tip . Took me ages to put a litre of oil in my vivaro . Like watching paint dry
Thanks for the comment! yeah its bloody steady otherwise haha

Thanks for the vid, just ordering oil and filters from your links, spot on! Ive got a MY18 125hp version (R9M452), 20k miles, so far so good.
Nice one , thanks for the comments .. glad to help 👍👌
Superb video thanks, great to see a self priming tank for the change of the fuel filter.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment

As always, great video. Clear and informative. Just a quick question. Is this the same service for a 2013 Vivaro 2.0 CDi
Thanks 😁👍 2013 2.0 will be a little different mate , I’ve got one to do in the next few months so hopefully get one uploaded 👍
Are you sure you connected the couplings in right connections?
The middle connection is going to the engine(clean fuel)?
And the outer connection is coming from fuel tank(not clean fuel)?
Hello very good video I look your other video thank s you
Thanks for visiting 👍
Thanks very helpfull 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You're welcome 👍
Great video. Do you have any videos on the location of the dpf on a vivaro b? I can’t find it anywhere. I’m guessing it’s behind the tray you took off in this video. Thank you
it sits right behind the engine block
Excellent.. thank you.
You are welcome!
Thanks a lot for your vid

Hi mate any chance you could show how to change alternator belt no videos of new shape for some reason
Yeah if I get chance I’ll do one next time I have one in! 👍👍
Mine is an R9M 452 engine at it does 7.4 liters. 1.6 biturbo 125hp
👍
Any idea why the drain plug torque is 50nm? Seems high compared to most other cars.
Yeah just the recommended, ive known a few similar just depends on the size thread/pitch etc & the type of metal they are going into

Hi. Do you know where the thermostat is and is it a front off job. I've searched high and low. No one seems to know or not willing to help. Thanks Christian
I’m sure it’s located on the front , but awkward to access and you’ll need some of the front end off by its easy to strip
Me again , lol . Brought a wireless reverse camera , camera wat goes to the reverse light there is 3 wires goes into one plug back of the light down no which two colours I need to conect to ? Cheers
im not sure without looking tbh mate, Ill have a gander if we get one in this week
Quick question when changing gear sometimes the clutch stops further down other times it pops up bk to normal.. I that normal
No mate I’m afraid that could be a fault with your clutch slave or master cylinder 😬
hi great vid mate what size socket do I need for the oil filter ?
Hi mate, it was a while ago I did it but thinks it’s 27mm
Hey, i have a question, Is it not necessary to bleed the system after replacing the fuel filter?
Neh I never do with that style pump 👍 it has a pre pump in tank and soon forces the air out
Did you know what that oil leak was as have same problem when doing my oil change
im afraid it never came back in for it in the end mate!
Quick question renault traffic 2015 crewcab, won't go in gear when started ? But goes in gear when engine is off
Clutch fault I’m afraid mate 😖 could be the clutch it’s self , the clutch slave cylinder or the master cylinder
@@diydaly OK cheers only just got it yesterday aswell got 3month warranty on it
@@andymethley2298 are that's lucky then! as could be quite costly otherwise 👍
Well it's been back for a new clutch apparently
@@andymethley2298 👍
nice video good job.
Thanks!
How do I bleed the cooling system on this vehicle

hi...what kind of engine is it? displacement? thanks
1.6 cdti mate
why would a manufacturer put a filter on the underside of a vehicle where it could rust
Lol they seem to come up with these daft ideas 🤣
AUTO-VOX CS-2 Digital Wireless Reversing
will check the kit out too
Was that making a "ticking" sound on startup? Mine does this for 5 to 7 seconds?
Hi garry I can’t remember it too well as it was a while a go but seem to think I’ve had a few sound similar
That's your ad blue pump spraying that into your exhaust system,

How many liters of oil does this car take?
