307 24000 service - 'Advise' points

Hello Peeps,

April 2004 307 HDi DT went in for its 24000 mile service while I was working abroad.

All very professionally handled by local dealer with car picked up from home some time after my wife left for work. Later that day she was called on her mobile and told how much it would be. She paid by card over the phone and car was back home before she got in from work.

Couple of interesting things on the 'advise' section of the bill.

  1. 'Slight oil leak from rear of engine requires further checks.'

There is nothing can be seen from looking in the engine bay and there is no oil drips from the car when it is parked overnight etc. Without putting the car on a ramp, taking off the bottom covers etc it's imposible for me to see a. where it is from and b. how bad it is.

Anybody else got an oil leak from the rear of the engine (that you know of cos it drips on your drive I suppose)??

  1. 'Flywheel squeeks.'

The alternator was replaced under waranty about 5 months ago - it had started to make a whining kind of noise. I guess this has nothing to do with the 'flywheel squeeks' problem .... so anybody else been notified of a squeeky flywheel? If so what have you done about it?

Other than the alternator problem (sorted under warranty) I have to say the car has been absolutely trouble free for the 19 months we have had it in which time it has done about 12000 miles.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

The oil leak could be coming from driveshaft oil seals or it could be rocker box gasket.or if they got some one in the workshop filling up your car with oil and a bit went over the top and run down the back of the engine.2/is the noise coming from the flywheel? its not a fanbelt sliping is it? you never know.or clutch release bearing.leave it for couple of weeks and see if it clears. if not return it and they should do it for you if they are a good garage.(you will probly have to pay ) from Chris Addlestone..

I would have thought both points would be covered under the warranty. I believe my flywheel was replaced before I got yhe car, and that there was an issue with the HDI flywheels, so go back to your dealer and ask about it. In any event, they should be able to explain the advisary comments for you.

David,

Thanks for that. The car is now out of warranty but from what you say I will mention to them that I happen to know it is not an unusual problem on the car!!

Regards,

Took the car to the local Pug dealer last Monday. He checked on the computer and it had a 3 year warranty. For some reason I'd got it into my head it was a 2 year warranty. The car was booked in for Friday to have the squeaky flywheel sorted and the oil leak investigated. Flywheel was replaced (or whatever was necessary to stop it squeaking) and the oil leak was found to be from a pipe associated with the turbo system (a breather pipe I guess) and that was sorted as well. The car was obviously put the the car wash as well and all covered by warranty.

So, my second 307, 48000 in the first one and 24000 in this one and I really can't say either of them have been a major problem - or worse than other cars I've owned such as Fords or Renaults .. oh yeah and the Lancia ..now that was bad!!

See ya,

Phil
