The ticking is not very loud and there is no reduction in performance
I recently changed the oil with synthetic
0 - 50 and there is no noticeable reduction in the sound.

I can confirm the engine oil, plugs, and coolant are all fine. I haven't used the other products so won't comment on those. You can use the Penrite product selector on their website to confirm your choice.
Don't forget to replace the cabin pollen filter.
Once you've completed the service, you'll need to reset the parameters relating to oil degradation in the engine ECU, along with the standard service reset. If you don't do this you'll constantly have warnings pop up on the display.
The OBDII multipin plug is behind the panel under the steering column.
All the best.
Mick.

The ability to lock in perfect alignment with the dealer tool, was why it appealed.
Interestingly, the genuine tool with accessories is sub $1K per the Euro parts houses. I’d have expected much more.

And they are very well priced for what you get.

New South Wales / 147/156 Front Strut Factory Compressor
« Last post by Citroënbender on April 21, 2019, 09:24:47 PM »Wondering if any of the Sydney indies have the factory kit for compressing and reassembling struts.
About to swap over my front shocks and remembering the "fun" last time with maintaining ideal alignment of the top hat and strut body.

« Last post by Campbeli on April 21, 2019, 08:18:13 PM »It’s a 18v cordless Rockwell from SCA - 380nm.
Haven’t tried yet (more grinding of socket required)
If this doesn’t do it maybe I should look at a breaker bar or a power impact bar - SCA have a Toledo rated up to 950 nm.
Got to get a good fit with the socket first.
