Oil pressure problems and unusual engine noises in a 2021 Renault Clio Diesel with 115775 km

Hi, I definitely understand your problem because I experienced the same thing with my 2018 Renault Megane. It seems that small plastic parts can clog the oil passages and thus affect the oil pressure. In my case, the problem was quite serious as the valves and engine were not properly lubricated. This jeopardized the functionality and longevity of the engine. So definitely not a minor issue. The garage had to take my car apart to remove the dirt and plastic parts from the system. The whole car was jacked up and there was plenty of work to be done under the hood. The mechanics also changed the oil and replaced the oil filter to make sure no harmful material was left behind. So, if you notice similar symptoms, it would be a good idea to make an appointment at the garage as soon as possible. It's definitely not a small problem and the quality of your engine oil should always be guaranteed. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for your quick and detailed reply! Now I'm really worried about my Renault Clio, but it's good to know what's going on. Can you remember how much you paid the mechanic for the whole procedure? And have you had any similar problems since then or was it more of an isolated incident?

(Translated from German)

Sure, no problem. Well, the whole thing cost me around €1630 at the time. Not exactly a bargain, but well, what don't you do for your car, right? The plastic parts that had blocked the oil ducts had to be removed, which was quite a job. Anyway, the problem with the engine oil pressure system has since been solved. My Renault is now running like a champ again. I really hope that this is just an isolated incident for you and that your car will soon be fit again! Hang in there, buddy!

Many thanks for the information, really helpful! Nearly 1630€ is of course a bitter pill to swallow, but if it solves the problem, then it's worth it. I'm glad to hear that your car is now running smoothly again. I will make an appointment with the garage as soon as possible, hopefully they will have a place for my poor Renault Clio quickly. Thanks again for your help buddy! Stay safe out there.
