[Webby the Bear]

Hi guys.

Got the above job in tomorrow. If it's not a vw or Audi I hate swapping diesel fuel filters.

Normally if it won't start straight away after the change I hook up our vacuum/sucker to the filter return line, it pulls the diesel in and it will start. Is that the case with the above car?

Last Renault I did had the priming hand pump. But I'm presuming they've upgraded since then?

Any advice welcome.

Surprised that job needs doing already, the captur was only introduced in 2013 and with a comprehensive 4year warranty. What's the mileage on it?

[Webby the Bear]

I don't know sadly mate. The booking was taken by one of the other goons at the shop. It's a 14 plate I believe.

I would have thought on diesels it's prudent to change every 12 months. Though it's not a filter we change unless requested at an additional part only cost b

It is usually at this point that some wit replies......."well it's French crap what do you expect"...

More likely that four years is the book time to change the damn filter.

Would that be 4 years to change the damn filter because it's French crap?

Well, its French crap. What do you expect.

Not going to be nice job to do, they have some unusual ideas about location of service parts

[STEMO]

Service intervals for all Capturs are set at 18,000 miles or 12 months. The schedule runs minor (£129), intermediate (£159), minor (£129), major (£269), so the latter is required only every four years or 48,000 miles.
All engines have a cambelt which has to be replaced every six years or 90,000 miles at a cost of £399. The coolant should be renewed every five years or 90,000 miles (at a cost of £99), while fresh brake fluid is needed every three years or 72,000 miles (at £39). From 1 January 2015, the Captur came with a package called 4+, which includes four years’ warranty and breakdown cover.

O dear, still using horrible Americanism's, and referring to ones co-worker as a goon, that's a dismissal offence in some company's

Fuel filter will be mileage dependent to so if its done say 40k miles, it will be due a change.

Common rail engines have a lift pump and a high pressure pump, normally as you turn the key the lift pump runs for 30 second or so, repeat this three times and the system should be fully purged of air. 

The only other likely thing to be aware of is that its likely to be a git to get out, the Frogs have an uncanny knack of making bits you need to get at regularly a shit to access

Mrs Webby is north american, so that's forgivable.

As for goons.... We have someone who thinks that it's acceptable to not turn up to 8 disciplinary hearings, accuse the entire operation of being racist, go on holiday to Dubai whilst suspended for refusing a reasonable request, then have the gall to come back to work and expect everyone to like him

Goon, is not the first word that I would use

Yes they certainly do

Sounds like a proper disciple of Onan to me, and therefore likely to cite that as grounds for religious discrimination.

I could tell you his place of birth and religious tendencies, but to do so would imply that they mattered
