Video tutorial

In this video, we see that on the Citroen C1 (as well as its siblings, the Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo), the main fuse box has a section with 120 Ampere fuses that is generally not visible. This section is hidden under a plastic cover at the bottom of the fuse box; to see it, the lower panel of the box itself must be removed.

In the video, we see that after removing the panel, the main 120 Ampere fuse in that section is blown. This fuse is the main one for the electrical system, so if it blows, it causes a total loss of electrical power and prevents the car from starting because there is no current reaching the starter motor.

If one is unaware of the existence of this hidden section (since all the visible fuses are intact), it can lead to long and costly diagnoses that yield no results.

How to Replace the Glow Plugs in the Fiat Ducato 2.3 Multijet?

Glow plugs, as the name suggests, raise the temperature of the engine in diesel vehicles to allow for easier starting. The manufacturer, in this case, Fiat for the Ducato 2.3 Multijet, specifies how often they should be replaced, and a warning light will illuminate when it's time. This work is carried out under the bonnet. First, remove the upper engine cover, then lift the coil and, using a socket wrench of the appropriate size, unscrew the glow plug to remove it from the base, followed by installing the new one.
