I’m the owner. It drove like a dream all the way home and no burning oil smell not once. Thanks Baz you’re an absolute legend 🤟❤ well worth the 2 hour round trip to finally get my baby fixed. And peace of mind knowing it’s sorted before serious engine failure issues arise. RCZ owners - if your local garages and main stealers give you headaches, try Baz 👍

If a mechanic can't replace a simple oil filter housing.. or at least the gasket, can they really even call themselves a mechanic!?

Good to know that those gaskets can deteriorate and cause leaks. My engine is very similar to that one. Thanks!

She wanted the best and she got him , nice job Baz 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

This is growing trend with small , local independent garages . They seem to be able to afford to pick and choose work. My local told me if they can't turn a job around in a day they won't take it on!  MOTs and basic servicing only, won't touch a lot of cambelt jobs or clutches etc. As a retired tech' i recognise the expertise, effort and attention you put into the job Baz. Top Man.

I bought an RCZ recently with a few faults one of which was an oil leak from the banjo bolt spewing oil all over the turbo with all the expected smoke not to mention fire risk. It looked like a broken washer under the banjo bolt but then I discovered these oil feed lines swivel where the line enters the fitting and this fault can only be fixed with a new oil feed pipe. What a palaver this became. The other end of the oil feed is fitted to the block which is located behind the CAT so all the heat shields came off, CAT had to come out and then threading the new pipe around the convaluted route past the turbo and other obstructions is akin to a Chinese puzzle. Took most of the day to do the job but it cured the problem. Had to take it on a good run to burn off the residual oil but all is well now. The new pipe was £20 but hate to think what the labour charge in the Peugeot garage would have been.
The car was cheap enough so I'm still happy with the car.

You never bore me Baz mate…. I absolutely love your content! Can’t wait for the next one 🤙🏼

I think baz is turning Wrexham into a tourist attraction, lot of people visiting from afar 😂, I can imagine people sitting in local cafes drinking coffee with none local accents and the staff saying he must have come to get his car fixed off that internet guy 😂😂😂

The issue with the flattened O seals is called compression set.  Basically the rubber loses it's elasticity over time and temperature cycles and takes a permanent set, in this application it means the seal leaks. The ability of the rubber to resist compression set depends on the quality of the compound, and as car manufacturers are always looking to save pence everywhere they choose a compound that saves money rather than providing better service life. The problem is worsened by lack of use, temperature cycles actually help to extend the working life of a given rubber, but 14 years before failure actually isn't bad, nothing lasts forever. The best compounds to use for oil seals are fluropolymers, like silicone and viton, but they are very expensive.  The O seals seen in this example are almost certainly nitrile. Nice job and a very satisfied customer, always the best result!

Good job Baz. This is the same engine as fitted to minis & bmws of the same vintage.  As you know, these are all well-known for oil filter housing gaskets! Historically, almost all BMWs !  Lovely car though - future classic for sure.

Launch coat/body warmer, tidy when your in cold workshop, love the content 👍🏼🔥 BTW reminds me of the vauxhall oil cooler, good vitron seals😂

Hi Baz, general question do you own the garage or are you just an employee for someone else, if so they are very lucky to have you

Heated milwaukee jacket. Best purchase ever for me.

Aldi TT lol great fix as usual Baz

Hi Baz  great job mate !  just let your customer know the  vacuum pump O ring  would most probably need replacing, as they go hard, i just spliced and glued 2 orings together for it ,   they usually go there and the , oil feed to the turbo charger leaks

Pretty much the same as a Mini Cooper S of the same era.   They used the same engine in both cars.   As it happens I am just doing this on my wife's Clubman Cooper S.   A bit cold to  we working on cars at the moment, so it is up on stand in the garage ..... waiting for warmer weather.   :-)

If I couldn’t do my own work I’d use baz he’s 2 hrs from me, my car stands more now I’ve retired, it’s 8 years old insignia  roughly 3 thousand miles a year, great video baz we home self mechanics learn a lot from you baz 👍

Always liked the look and styling of these cars.  You don't see many around.  I think it competes well with the Audi TT in the looks department

Again absolutely seamless💙 top quality content as usual baz 🔥

Best on you tube, your are like the Lady said, a legend .😊😊
