thanks paul , it amazes me where you get your information

Hi , what are the 2 black parts at the side of the window on citroen c3 called ( see photo ) , would like to order 1 but don't know the right part name , thanks in advance

thanks paul , after i posted this i had a look at youtube & any information i could find on the internet , i know it's water so it's as you say coming from the air conditioning . cheers

Hi , does anyone recognise this leak ( see photos ) which is quite heavy at times ,radiator doesn't seem to be losing water , leak seems to be coming from some kind of plastic valve, near the exhaust , please have a look & see what you think , thanks in advance Citroen C3 1.2 VTi 2013

Thanks for taking the trouble to do the internet search on 82vti , thats good news you didn't find any problems

hi paul, i didn't fancy dismantling the glove box , so i just took the square fuse box cover off used a 12v circuit tester to find a fuse that goes off with the ignition ,took the 3 black plugs that support the small panel under the glove box , which allowed me to get my hand up the back & fit a piggy back fuse camera is up & running thanks again paul

thanks paul

'I saw the fuses topic after I had replied to this one, hence asking here about your new car. I think your car will be an 82 rather than 86 since I could not find any on line. I have put your new car in your signature so you will not need to mention it when posting. The problems on the old 4 cylinder vti engines may not have anything to do with the newer 3 cylinder ones and I can not recall any posts on here with problems.' that's a relief my heart sank when you mentioned the problems you had with your vti , i'm still trying to find out how to get that fuse board down to put a fuse in for my dash cam , i may have to look at using the fuse board under the bonnet

i now have a citroen c3 1.2 vti 86 you already replied to my post DASHBOARD FUSES you said you had bad experiences with the vti i had the citroen C3 14 LX for 14 years with only head gasket oil leaks being my only major problem ,so thought i couldn't go wrong with another C3 i don't know why the vti would be different , i'm hoping you were just unlucky

too late paul already bought it , it's only done 33,000 miles & i only do 8,000 a year so hopefully timing chain will be okay for a while , not familiarized myself with the car yet ,but the air con seems to be working okay , i can see where the fuses are behind the square panel you mention , but i need to get access to put a piggy back fuse in for my dashcam ,so how do i drop the fuse board ?

UPDATE , i suspected a head gasket so bought a block tester ,fluid turned yellow meaning head gasket blown , iv'e scrapped the car as it is 2004 not worth putting money into , thanks paul for all your replies

hi ,i'm trying to find out how to access the dashboard fuses for a citroen C3 2013 vti 86 i know where they are located but don't know how to drop the fuse board , i used to have a C3 2004 that you turn white lever to 9 o clock & the fuse board dropped down for access ,don't see any levers on my replacement car thanks in advance

car still running no leaks not overheating , can you tell me how much antifreeze concentrate i should put in , if there is still coolant in the system after draining from bottom radiator hose & filling with just water twice , surely the remainder must be diluted , should i put in about 3 ltr pure concentrate to let it mix . thanks in advance
