My friends has a 1.2 clio, on a 02 plate. its low mileage. its had a problem for a few years now she tells me. It keeps filling the air filter box with engine oil.

Its been to a couple of garages now and still not fixed. Renualt say they have never heard of this problem before.

Its sounds to me a blocked oil breather, building presure up, but the breather is clear, no blockage.

So anyone any ideas? i haven`t a clue on renualt engines.

cheers

Breathing hard? Over filled with oil?

Isn't there a breather hose which goes to the air box on Clios?
