Lidl Oil Dipstick Choob Suction Thingy

I bet that's exactly the same unit as the LIDLâ„¢ one - just rebadged.

 

It looks identical.

Ah, haven't seen the Lidl one, the link in the original post is dead.

Receipt gone.

 

for an argument with someone on a till working 16 hours a week TBH.

 

a) photograph receipt with phone - saves the buggers fading, esp. if a 3 year warranty is on the go.

 

b ) I think for the first 60 days at least, there is never an argument, if they don't have another, they just refund the money, no questions asked. Outside of that, there is usually some hotline number inside the instruction book, usually downloadable online.

This looks quite chunky for the money, £27.00

I've used the Screwfix version of the Pela with no issues to change the oil on my Accord, just make sure the oil is warm.

 

I'm in Wellingborough, close to HA lock. Your welcome to borrow mine to try it if you like Bornite if your ever passing my way.

That is mega generous. Thanks very much. I was near yours last Sunday collecting something from Alf892.

I have a Pela 6000, it does the job perfectly. I wouldn't bother with anything powered, it's just something else to go wrong.

Aye, the worse you can do with the pump I have is knock the pump off the top losing Vac.

 

If you were going the powered route then an old mains vac pump drawing through a catch pot would be the way to go I think.

silverline one is similar to screwfix one at a lower price

+1 for the Pela 6000. I've used mine 5-6 times doing the AT gearbox oil on the Laguna. So easy, quick and clean to do, I can see why all the dealer's extract oil this way now. Now I've got it, everything appears to need an oil change.

 

This is a pretty decent price (about how much I bought mine from eBay for): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131898692941

[Sheefag]

Surely with something like an old power steering pump, you could build one powered by the engine?

[sierraman]

I still don't think you can beat dropping it out the sump. On the PSA 1.6 derv they specifically recommend you don't use vacuum extraction.

The engine that you're in the process of draining the oil out of?

I got mine specially for an ATF change too. It's perfect for that job because an ATF change is all the misery of an engine oil change, but five times.

 

The Punto's engine oil change was done on a whim while my wife was getting her shit together to go out in it. I used a takeaway tub to catch the oil from the filter and I didn't even have to wash my hands.

Depends how shitty you let your oil get, last time i swapped mine out via the pump i got within a couple of hundred mils of the right amout out and the new oil remained nice and clean for months afterwards.

 

I think you need to drop the oil once a year through the plug, but pelas make it easy to perform a quick 6 month oil change.

What's the worst that could happen?

The pumps are back at Lidl, I got one tonight
