How to Solve the False Faults in the Anti-Pollution System of the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we address a problem that seems to be quite common, as discussed in forums, which is the anti-pollution system indicating faults that do not actually exist. Rarely are these stored in the ECU, but errors are shown on the instrument cluster, indicating that the anti-pollution system - whether it is a diesel or petrol vehicle - has faults. The owner gets worried, takes the vehicle to the mechanic, who finds nothing but still wants a hefty fee for the service. Our YouTuber advises, based on his experience: he cleaned and dried his fuses thoroughly, paying particular attention to those in the engine bay, which are more exposed. He then sprayed them with WD-40, which protects them from moisture, and since then he has not had any more issues of this kind. Therefore, especially if you live in a humid climate, try this method, and you will likely resolve the problem.

How to Replace the External Wing Mirror on a Ford C MAX

In the event of a breakage, it will be necessary to replace the external wing mirror on the 2011 Ford C MAX. This operation is easily performed independently. Start by removing the internal cover of the mirror with a plastic lever. Then, use a socket wrench to remove the securing pins. Once the pins are removed, you can take off the mirror, but not before disconnecting the power connectors. Then proceed to fit the new mirror. First, connect the connectors and then secure the mirror to its housing with the pins. Refit the plastic cover and test the operation of the electric mirror using the controls.
