Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 SC - Years 2009-2016
Part: Engine head
Operation: What happens if the head gasket breaks on the Citroen C3?

In this video, we see the consequences of a broken engine head gasket. As a result, the engine oil has mixed with the coolant, creating an "emulsion" that is actually a thick and rather disgusting sludge that has formed around the piston chambers. This sludge dissolves with gasoline. When it becomes more fluid, it can be collected with an oil suction pump to clean the inside of the engine. The same process should then be done inside the heating radiator in the cabin, as the sludge has also ended up there. The engine in the video is a hybrid LPG, so the inside of the LPG gas tank will also need to be cleaned. Once everything is cleaned, the engine will be reassembled and tested.
