Hi guys, my first post here, i tried to find some help and i saw this forum, found some usefull stuff. I love my Bravo but still have couple problems with it(it's 1.9 diesel 88 kW).

Under engine cover is pissing me off since i bought the car 2 years ago. Its too low and every time i go over terrain thats not perfectly leveled it scrapes the surface(and thats a problem since i live in country where roads are not perfect to say the least) . Ofc every couple of months i need to go to shop to tight the bolts bcs they unscrew, once even a plate that holds nut fall off.
Is this normal or something is wrong, and is there any solutions for this?

Second problem i have is that something squeaks every time i sit in the car and i get out. First it sounded like its made by handbrake since i hear it louder when its up, however i also hear it when its not? I took it to car shop but they didn't fix it with retarded answer "its 10 year old what u expect" ...

And third, and most annoying thing about my Bravo is that "change engine oil message". For some reason i get it every 5000-6000 km and recomended change is at 15. I change oil at least once a year and after 10-12k km but i need to go to dealer at least once between the changes to reset the message. I tried everything i found on internet (something with pedals and simmilar) but nothing helped. I read somewhere that if you don't reset it, it can cause problems with DPF filter, is that right and is there any chance to get rid of that message without going to dealer/shop?

Thanks for your answers in advance!
 
1 - has never happened to me but loctite might help?
2 - I had squicking from the rear, I changed the two big bushings on the rear axle and it disappeared. Don't know if that's your problem though.
3 - multi ECUscan, you can reset the oil change light with that software among with many other things.
 
Yes, the engine under-tray is far too low and scrapes on everything. I took mine off and it's been sat in the garage for the past 3 years, with no negative effects. I know people might say it's important to stop the engine bay getting spray and dirt from the road, but no car I've owned before had one fitted and has never been a problem.
