How to Replace the Coolant on C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Checks and maintenance

Want to replace the coolant on the C3? Open the front bonnet and see how to do it. Disconnect the radiator hose at the bottom using a socket, allowing the rusty fluid to drain into a container. Flush the cooling system with the appropriate cleaning fluid. Reconnect the hoses previously removed, and screw in the fastening pins of the metal clips for the radiator in the engine bay. Prepare to top up with the new coolant. Finally, check for any leaks in the system. Use suitable fluid for your car.
