hi, spent hours today removing the bolts and nuts that hold the oil cooler in place on the diesel, its a really fiddly job, the 3 main nuts that hold the on are out of sight but 2 can be accessed from above and one from below, I wasnt able to get the oil cooler out as the little radiator had to...

Just to show further findings on this, i ordered the following item from ebay, has 4 gaskets for resealing the join from oil cooler to engine block, and i think the o ring as well for the coolant pipe, with the coolant pipe also. Ive looked at the oil coolere design and compared to othes and as...

thanks, that makes sense it would fit 308 items, the only one i could find was renault megane that fitted, i noticed the c3 seems a bit similar in design as well but couldnt find a stalk for it online. Swapping the stalk saves so much cost and hassle, now i finally know how to compress the...

hi, been at this on and off since i bought the car a year ago, had the drivers folding motor disconnected with a screw in to lock it in drivable mirror position. I dismantled the whole thing from the outside starting with the glass, and the bit that was broken was the plastic stalk. I tried...

thanks Eddie, thats helpful, yes i thought the serpentine was newer and had likely been replaced. The main belt has no cracks between the teeth, thats interesting you think it might be original. Online it says the continental ones have dates hidden in the codes but no date is clear to me when...

i also fitted the pulley and bolt from underneath, didnt have a 15 or 16 apanner which ever it was needed, only 14 and 17, so i used an adjustable spanner to unwind the old pulley and put back with new bolt and washer, while belt was loose before tensioning. Im still left with this tensioner...
