1.9 DG service Schedule

Post by JackE »

Hi All

I was just trying to find a service schedule for a 1.9 DG and couldn't really find anything online. I was just wondering if anyone has a list of things they do and when? It would also be useful to know how often the timing should be checked? The only thing I found online was this https://www.gowesty.com/tech-article-details.php?id=293 this seems to be american focus and recommending a different oil to what I normally use. (I don't want to open the oil debate up here!)

Many thanks

This is what I do

Every week
Oil level and coolant level both tanks, tank with cap on should be brim full

Every year min preferably twice a year ( more if you do silly mileage but most of us don't)
Oil and filter change
15W 40 Mineral is spec I now use 15W50 as it's better for hot oil pressure and these engines suffer from that being low.

Oil filer is MANN W719/12

Spark plug check

may as well throw in an air filter.
Search for coolant or oil leaks.
General inspection of engine including wiring.

Every 2-3 years
Replace coolant G12 or G13 equivilant 50% mix

probably a fuel filter also.
