- Can Ametech Engine Restore oil additive stop my engine smoking and restore lost compression?
Citroen C1 burning oil, can engine restore fix it?

What I didn’t show in the video is that during the “after” compression test, it took me multiple attempts to get a result as it kept blowing the valve in my compression tester. I went through 3 or 4 of my spare valves trying to get a result! Seems the compression is a bit higher than it’s supposed to be 🤷
I'm always tempted to poor stuff into the engine, particularly the injection cleaner and petrol system cleaner so this is right up my street.
I shall follow your instructions to the letter although the sleeves on my pullover will be in considerably better condition.👍
Haha it’s about time I got a new jumper I think. I’ve used this stuff before and it has worked well then too.
This process is actually quite fascinating. Decent preventative maintenance too? Plus really excelled with the Frankie goes to Hollywood! 😎👍
Not sure about preventative, but it definitely seems to have helped sort this shitter out
That's interesting and thanks for sharing. Keep it going . . . Kevin
Thanks for watching!
It looks like a good product as it worked at getting rid of the smoke and for normalising your compression. I've used seafoam treatment in the fuel and intake of my 1995 peugeot 205 1.6 before and that made the engine run a lot better while reducing the plumes of smoke the shitter would chuck out the. I'll have to try a can of this in my kia ceed crdi as i have some noisy tappets and bad cold start performance but that could be due to old glowplugs. nice informative video as always man!
Thanks mate. I had starting issues with my bosses Kia Soul a while ago, changing the glow plugs fixed it although they weren’t actually needed to start the car. It is direct injection so will start fine without them unless it’s extremely cold, however I suspected that the ecu is programmed not to inject fuel until enough heat is sensed by the egt sensor, so it would turn over for a long time and eventually when the temperature threshold was reached it would fire into life with no smoke etc. I think it’s for emissions to avoid smoke on start and not block the dpf. If you try this stuff in yours, make sure let us know your findings!
you have a penchant for "shitters" i read..
Great vlog cheers. I am using a fuel additive wynns with the E10 and seems to make the car run like it’s on higher octane. Was dubious but in both old cars of mine. I can feel the car much smoother and pick up better. Cost s a little but keep my cars. Ones ayaris with this engine and think made bigger difference in that than other car. Done well over 100k fault free miles. I can get my mum to knit you a new jumper if you like hoops on the arms and end of line colours😂 😂. U can recycle yours into a sleeveless sexy number😂
Thanks mate, tell your mum size fat,.. although she already knows my size 😜
Sorry, can never resist a “your mum” joke.
Thats a result then 😮👍
Seems to have worked well!
YES💪💪
YES.
Is this the same Citroen C1 you tried this on a few years ago? It looks like now it actually needed it. The stuff works. I've used on junk lawnmowers with worn out rings and bad cylinder bores and it never fails to stop the oil burning. I don't know how well it would work on newer engines whose oil burning is from sludged up oil control rings.
Yes mate. Same car. When there was something for it to fix, it fixed it!
ah ,,, add some performance
for very little
Run a drop of two stroke in these from time to time ,,, they love it.
I’ve just managed to stop the shitter smoking 😂
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos fully synthetic , I use Silkolene ,, the rings gum up on them , they all suffer from piston slap as they get older , a drop of two stroke helps a bit , well I think so ,, does no harm , give it a go next time for a giggle .
@@tomthompson7400 I might just do that. Adding it to a Mazda rotary definitely makes sense due to how the lubrication system works
Car care and carelesness in a same video 👍
It loves the abuse
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I've been binge watching the shitter videos. You must install a new better turbo. It wants it. Should've been factory! 😆
@@Juntasification thanks! Maybe one day I’ll feed the shitter some boost
I noticed you doubled up on foot tapping this time 😂
Double tap bro
I watch a guy in the u.s Of A.
Yes, he tests engine additives in a scientific way.
Maybe you could test additives in an Un Scientific way......
Would make great footage
Nice video 📹 👍
Thanks mate. Are you talking about Project Farm? He does do decent tests, way better than I could ever hope to do 😂
@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Yeah Todd 😎
So with these engines being renowned for burning oil, in your expert opinion, would this slow that down at all? It gets a bit boring topping it up every so often, so I fancy a cheap remedy.
Well technically I can’t recommend it due to it not being recommended on these engines by the manufacturer because of the VVT, but it seems to have done mine the world of good! I’ll add into the description if I notice and long term effects as they happen over the coming months of it being in the car
Does that not increase the oil level to unsafe amounts for the engine?
Potentially, but unless it’s already high you’re not adding enough to
Surely the engine is done if youre getting low comp and smoke?
Didn’t have low compression really, just smoke. Plenty of life left in it yet
Any reason it wouldnt work on a shitter bike - I'm thinking maybe wet clutch issues?
I would be interested to find out, but yea the clutch could definitely be an issue. Next time I’ve a fucked bike in at work with a shagged piston I might just try it
I'd be interested to know - I'll keep watching 😂
Thanks for replying.
Serviced mine and now smokes like yours. Hope it doesn't fail MOT...otherwise, Donkey van goes for scrap(yea, it's a C1 van)
Maybe it had thicker oil in it previously 😬
oh, you really don't wanna know the state of the critter when I took it(1.5L of oil in the engine - God knows when it was last serviced, 1 tea cup of coolant in the entire cooling system etc etc etc)
But Donkey Van still runs
@@TDR1990 it takes a lot to kill these things, as I’ve probably shown on my channel a few times over 😂
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos yup, I'm binging your C1 vids as we speak(minus the racing part...I mean, mine is a van).
If ever see around Manchester a black C1 van, that's me :D
@@TDR1990 I’ll keep a lookout for you and give you a beep on the train horn if I see ya 🤣
YES ! bro thats not a little bit of a smoking issue! That does not look good 😂
It is nearly 18 years old now, so it’s old enough to choose whether to take up smoking or not I suppose 🤷
How does this happen normally? Thrashing an engine or just general wear and tear?
Usually from an event, sat being run low on oil at some point or the oil being cooked or left in for too long etc.
5:01 hahaha
As precise and by the book as ever 😂
How dat work den 🤔
Magic 🤷
The only way to mess with a "snake," and the RSPA won't give you a hard time.
👌😜🤟m-E-m
The rspcc1’s are after me as well speak
Impressive. It just doesnt want to let go😂
If anything finishes this car off, it will be an MOT tester 😂
Thats the Daihatsu 3 cylinder motor isn't it aftee all Toyota owns Daihatsu so the engines should be fine and you didn't mention how many miles your Citroen had done as for the compression test spot on and that stop smoke worked no more smoke also when you reved it up l could hear the engine bouncing of the rev limited not good practice with any engine and also cold and drive a little easier don't thrash it infact my 1997 Hilux with 437000 kilometres on it does not burn any oil but it has great low down torque l don't have to thash it to get anywhere but after all its a 22R motor and it is one of the most reliable engines ever made and is good for at least 800000 kilometres
Yes it’s the 1kR motor. It’s done about 150k miles, so about 240k km
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos l saw it on a you tube video which the fact that a French brand of car is using a Japanese engine
@@lesklower7281 yes. It’s the same car as a Toyota Aygo / Peugeot 107
If you keep touching the C1 engine one day you will get the pistons in your hands.
This is what we say in Greece about someone who pushes his engine exclusively and for no reason.
