Stick the tube down the dip stick hole and suck out as much oil as needed until you reach the middle of the min/max level. Check the level regularly and repeat as required.

Tip.. Remove the syringe from the tube rather than pull the whole thing in and out each time.
It doesn’t have a dip stick nor dip stick tube unfortunately

Just to update, took the car for a decent run last night,checked the oil showing overfill- switched off then waited 20 minutes- checked oil indication with the engine switched off and of course no level detected, turned engine on then the level rose to a ‘normal’ just below full...
I’m now wondering if the workshop reset it at all after the work earlier in the year? I don’t recall checking it since ( I don’t generally unless a warning shows )

Default 1.6d DrivE 2009 c30 dpf replacement tips

1.6d DrivE 2009 c30 dpf replacement tips

Hi all,

I have a 72k miles c30 2009 1.6d drive. Car serviced regularly approx every 7k. As far as I am aware it is a wet dpf in this particular model (is this correct) which means dpf should be replaced after 75k miles. Approximately how much would this cost at a dealership. What is the most cost effective way of doing this?
Thanks in advance
