How to remove the engine cover of the Citroen C5

Model: Citroen C5 MK 2, RD, X7 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Engine

The removal of the engine cover on a Citroen C5 car is a simple and quick operation to be carried out independently whenever deemed necessary for maintenance. For example, if we need to replace the spark plugs or check the engine condition, it is necessary to remove the cover. To do this, we must unclip the side clips of the cover and easily lift the entire cover outwards, paying attention to the plastic parts. The assembly of the cover follows the reverse process: position the cover on the engine and push the four sides back into place.
