Keep the Citroen C3 Engine Clean by Maintaining the Grille Under the Windscreen

Model: Citroen C3 Cc21 - Years 2024-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

This video highlights a crucial point that many car owners overlook. In this case, it concerns a Citroen C3, but it is applicable to all cars. The grille under the windscreen - the area where the edge of the bonnet rests - is a critical point for engine cleanliness. Leaves and debris block the drainage channels, preventing rainwater from flowing away. Residues can enter the ventilation system, compromising the cabin air filter and the air quality inside the car. Standing water can cause rust and electrical damage, and in extreme cases, this dirt can damage the radiator fan. Check it after parking under trees, especially in autumn, and before summer, in preparation for using the air conditioning.
