Dacia Sandero 1.5 DCi 2013 - Sticking valves #

Posted by Job Gevers on June 16, 2017, 12:46 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2013
Engine Size and Code *: 1.5 dci

Anyone seen this before?

Non start situation, turns over like there is no compression.
Changed oil and filter and all seems to be ok.

I thought that these faults were in the past and the Fords were the last ones that suffered.

Was the oil contaminated with diesel? Any regeneration history available?
Just wondering if the oil has been contaminated by failure to successfully regen the dpf.

Or has it missed a service or 3?

Hi Tony,

Couldn't smell diesel in the old oil. According to the service sticker, it had it's last service about 15K kilometers ago.

Oil level was about half way, so nothing really out of the ordinary.

I am using the car over the weekend, just to make sure all is ok.

Just wondering what else could reduce compression at start :-)

Hi

>>Just wondering what else could reduce compression at start :<<<

Unlikely that all valve would stick & cause non start, Lifters Jacking (assuming it has them !) would cause it.Possible cause would be excessive oil pressure due to sticking relief valve.

Hi Aidan,

You're right, and that is also a common fault on these engines. But normally they blow out the oil filter seal first...

Cheers,

Job

how about the throttle body stuck shut, no air flow = no compression.
