My 1.4 16v doing the same some garages will not touch them oddly as they seem to think that they may have to strip the head off and drill the injectors out yet I phoned perrys in MK and they said about £100 for one

Mine went on my c3 hdi two years ago full service history etc citroen replaced parts free of charge they know there is an issue why didnt they recall all of them quiet shocking really :rolleyes:
-
You can you will need a modulator connection so you can still use the controls on the stalk end of window washers of the streo control depends on what mk of c3 you have Have put a pioneer unit in my c5
-
In a word it is possible but you would need to change alot of the electrics sensors etc there are alot of differences between the 1.4 8v and 16v 1.4 hdi you may find that the vtr has a smilier engine to yours Im pretty sure the c2 1.4 hdi was only the 8v unit and that the latter vts had a 1.6 16v as per the mk1 c3 face lift

Should be on the left had side of the speedo little yellow blobs left is temp right is fuel -
I had one vanish £27 at a citroen dealer :angry: not so cheap
-
H7 on c3 but make sure you put the cover back properly when you finish unless you are good with a hair dryer removing the headlight is a pain as there is one bolt under the wing best bet is to replace bulb with the use of a small mirror then once the bulb is replaced spray a little wd40 around the rubber seal then put the cover back
-
Yes you do check what reg it is first as there is two adaptors for the c3 as with the C5 get one that works the remote as well this stops all the agro with the cars cpu
-
Same happeneed to mine the switch on top of the gear box has problay gone quick check of this is to pull the connector off and put a bit of wire between the connectors on the block if the lights come on than that your issue I think it was on a few quid from main dealer
-

Hi all My Cigarette Lighter is not working any idea which fuse it maybe as its not mentioned in the cars hand book
-
Had the same clonking noise on mine radius arm bearing had gone and a nice £350 bill to boot :unsure: Best way of testing is to put it on high suspension setting then drop it onto to low then back up to normal if its still making the same creaking grinding noise you know what it is :o
-
Hi did the fronts on My normal c3 the other week A few recommendations firstly if you are reading out of the Haynes manual even if you clamp the brake line before you start I would still bleed the brakes after fitting new pads to be on the safe side. Very easy to do just jack up car remove both wheels push pads in a little to move piston back remove bottom bolt pads and shims should come out easy enough then with a self bleed kit undo the nipple and push the brake piston back in but not the whole way just before do the nipple up again then do this . I put a little copper grease on the back of the new pads before fitting then its just a case of putting it all back together easy job Do the other side then bleed any air out of system and off you go If you intend replacing your discs a word of warning decide the day before if they need replacing or not as the screws that hold the discs in place can get rusty and are best left over night soking in WD40
