Water thermostat replacement Citroen C3 diesel year 2004

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

The thermostatic valve, better known precisely as a thermostat, has the function of activating the exchange of coolant between the engine block and the radiator: while the liquid in the engine block overheats to cool the engine, the liquid inside the radiator is cooled by the fans. and once a certain temperature is reached, the valve opens to bring the cooler liquid into the engine and the warmer liquid into the radiator and so cyclically. Constant contact with liquid, often in the case of water alone, can cause the valve mechanism to rust and therefore block, which must therefore be replaced; the valve is located on the side of the engine, immediately behind the oil filter seat, but in order to reach it, the battery should be removed; then drain the coolant, disconnect the sleeves applied to the valve and then unscrew the fixing pins to complete the disassembly.

How do you reset the tire pressure light on the Toyota Aygo X?

To reset the tire pressure warning light on the Toyota Aygo X, you need to inflate the tires until they reach the recommended pressure value: this will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's side door pillar.
