I know of oil additives that will clean the carbon from the piston rings and this can restore compression and cylinder sealing but it is just something you add to the oil and run for a while and then empty out and refill with fresh oil - but this is a £25 bottle of snake oil - which may or may not resolve your issue. Look up Forte treatments and you can see specs and benefits of their products

Please let us know what you find and how you get on with it all

I have had loads of work done it since I had the car back in April just seems to me to be a money pit one thing after another

Hi this s the second time for the belt to come in 4 weeks when ast put back on the drove for time of 4 weeks but today I had the battery service light come on again so checked the belt nd it was off so got it ack on and came off this happened several times belt is good sitting well in groves but just keeps coming off any ideas

Can anyone send me pics or diagram of where all the vacuum pipes go to etc. IE 2 on top hat 3 on throttle body 2 on inlet 1 on egr 1 on map and where the inline Carbon canister & 1 way valves Go etc. As all of mine were missing and have just cuppled them together to get her going.

have a great Christmas Andy and thanks for all your help in the forums this year Cheers, Trevor

Yeah that's the frightening thing. And I've also found out that I'm the same age as the motorway national speed limit. Not the 70, just the length of time it's been in force.

That makes two of us then - but what I find strange is that I am now the same age as old people :-)

Has anyone had to use the stellantis warranty for excessive use of oil. I had a new pcv valve fitted under this warranty but didn't cure the problem. Dealer now suggests a piston ring clean ( using an addative in the oil that doesn't effect the cam belt ) at a cost of £500. This they say is not covered as it is a procedure. Trying to find a number to check if this correct isn't easy. Anyone had a similar problem .

I've just been stung for £1400.00 for a wet belt replacement after 27000 miles and 4 years old. I am going through vauxhall customer care (stanallis ?) and anticipating a fight

Good idea print what you need at the time. Cheers I will give it a go.

Well I am only a few years away from a pension. 😀

Thanks for the prompt reply. Will look for a plug in the boot. There is a hole where the ultimate version has it's camera
