How to Replace the Coolant in a Citroën C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Antifreeze coolant

To replace the coolant in a Citroën C3, open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay. On the right side, between the engine block and the air filter, you will find the pipe that allows the coolant to flow. This pipe must be disconnected to drain the antifreeze into a suitably positioned container. Once it has completely drained, reconnect the pipe and top up through the vent marked with the appropriate symbol.
