Thanks again Irdaft you've been very helpful. Ok, they can drain the oil via a tube in the engine bay and filter again can be changed from above, why then would they charge me or a new sump plug without taking the underpan off ? I'm blowed if I can see how. |

Had similar fuel leak when my tank had the baffle plates fitted. It was caused by mechanic failing to refit the overflow pipe which allowed diesel to spill out from top of tank. So it only happened if tank was fairly full and vehicle was moving so sloshing the fuel about. |

Finally got the RRS back late yesterday. Seems to be OK, but haven't filled it up and given it a good run yet. I was informed that the diesel leak was caused by over spill when fitting the anti slosh mod. They recon that the tank has a double layer and some diesel was trapped in between and slowly seeping out. Is the tank double layered or do they mean the lower protecting sheild below the tank? as it was late when I picked it up nobody could give me a satisfactory answer.

Workshop manual gives both options to drain the oil, via sump plug and through the Vac tube. Also it says that spilling of some oil is unavoidable with vacuum method so you should be able to see some oil spill. Also I would take a photo of the oil level to compare after the service. |
