How to Program the Key Fob Duplicate for the Citroen C3

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

If you need to duplicate the ignition key with a remote, it is essential to consult a specialised centre that not only has the replacement key and the specific equipment to perform the coding of the metal key blade but is also able to execute the key coding itself, meaning to store the so-called immobiliser code within the electronic circuit: by inserting the key into the ignition switch, an antenna will transmit the key code to the engine management unit, and if recognised, the engine will be allowed to start.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
