Instructions for Checks and Maintenance

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

Even if the next service is some time away, it is advisable to periodically check the overall condition of the engine, especially if you are about to undertake a short journey. Start by checking the date and mileage of the last service to determine if you can limit yourself to simple checks or if you need to visit a garage. Next, check the engine oil level, the coolant level, the condition of the timing belt, and the cleanliness of the cabin filter and engine air filter. Finally, check the tyre pressure as well as their wear condition.
