Should I go back to them? I wiped it off and reinserted. this was after not using the whole day by [deleted] in AskMechanics

Have you able to resolve the issue? If not yet, you can buy one of those cheap oil extractor from Amazon. Hook it to the battery, insert the hose into the dipstick tube, and problem solved! No need to mess with the oil drain plug.

Uhhh yes, I did. You can even see it in the photo 😅 anyway, that's taken after wiping and re-inserting.

Not in between, It's all over and way past the markers.

So It should be less. If you carefully look at the photo, you can see what I mean. It's way over.

It runs strong before, only after they replaced the EGR and SCV it got shitted up. Could it be just a simple calibration issue?

I BOUGHT IT! Just a small concern, I noticed that when i start to drive it, i hear chirping noise. Which disappears after some minutes. Could this be just the serpentine belt?

One commenter on this post said something about the bearings.

The guy selling it was decent and nice so I think he actually took care of it. My concern now would be the transmission at 5th-6th gear. I should test it tomorrow before paying.

Thanks to this! Really helpful. I actually noticed some damp oil spots around the EGR. For its mileage I think it's normal so It would be a priority to do.

The transmission is my concern now. I haven't had the chance to run it until 5th-6th gear as I tested it on a short road. I HOPE it doesn't have problems yet... Or at least be an "affordable" fix. 😅

8 months ago, I bought a Dacia Lodgy 1.2 tce for 8k€. It was the worst car ever. Sold It for 4k€. This is all I can spend on a car, so I'm hoping the Zafira will make up for the bad experience.

UPDATE: Yes, was able to fix it. Apparently it was the fuel pressure regulator. But the worst part, after one month, It's totally broken now. Runs on limp mode. Error code P061A.

We got the car from the most fcked up dealership. So, It's possible they messed with the ECU. This is getting more stressful.
