Hi can anyone help? I bought a 1.6 TDci C Max LX from our local dealer, with 22,900 on the clock.
It's a 54 plate, and I am concerned that it's overfilled with oil, and it 'Pinks' when under load after it reaches about 80 Deg C on the temp guage. (I take it this is when the thermostat opens?)
The dipstick has a yellow plastic end, and the oil covers it completely when cold and on the flat.
The car has been back twice now to the dealer, and they say they contacted Ford directly, and have been told that both these things are 'Normal' for the C-Max.
I wonder if anyone has any experience of this, and if so why this is so?
I have driven several Diesels, and never experienced these problems
Cheers
Dave
