Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Engine
Operation: How to fix a Citroen C3 with uneven idle and difficult starting.

In this video, we see how to solve the problem of the engine warning light being on, with irregular idling and difficult starting. Even if regular maintenance is performed, occasionally more thorough maintenance must be done, as the exhaust gas vapors contaminate the sensors, causing irregular engine operation, especially when cold, but also when hot - hence the reason for the irregular idling. On a car like the Citroen C3, disassembling and cleaning the various components is not difficult, as shown by our YouTuber, and then we will see a great improvement in performance and fuel consumption. Once the cleaning is done, it will take several kilometers for the engine control unit to readjust to the new configuration, but the performance will improve.
