thanks again , i will check to see if code reader does live data

+ it came on today & it wasn't even raining

did your car run rough when you had the injectors failure ?, it's just that mine is running as it should ,

Thanks for that , there seems to be too many things that could be causing it , as the car is running well i will just have to keep deleting error code when it comes back on , thanks again

Moderator ,maybe you can help me with this, i get error code P0300 random misfire on my C3 had it down to my local garage several times , but it keeps coming on every 3 weeks or so, this has been going on for about 9 months now, i changed the plugs thinking i cured it , then it came back on , the car is running with no problems when the error comes on , i purchased a OBD11 scanner & as the management light doesn't work when the C3 bleeps & i plug in the scanner P3000 shows, i delete it & thats me for another few weeks , with having a OBD11 & the car running okay i can live with it ,but was wondering with your knowledge of cars have you any idea what could cause this , thanks in advance

I changed theb oil & filter on my C314 LX 04 today used 27mm socket 8mm sump plug tool washer plastic sink basin oil filter oil i jacket up & supported front drivers side , slide a hap or whatever you have under drain plug , rags & basin ready unscrewed plug with 8mmm sq tool, leave to drain , lowered the car to make sure it drained properly put rags around filter housing & with something under filter to catch any oil , unscrew filter cover with 27mm socket & lift clear , pull old filter from cover, replace the rubber seal around the filter cover ( just above threads on outside of cover) push new filter into cover & hand tighten cover onto housing then use 27mm socket to tighten, jack car back up to give some elbow room , replace washer on sump plug , & tighten using 8mm sq tool , i then used 21/2 ltrs of oil , then kept checking oil level ,using in total 31/4 to get to the maximum level job done

A big thank you to the moderator for all your help , as i said i will post how i get on cheers

my citroen book recommends either TOTAL QUARTZ 7000 10W-40 Semi Synthetic or TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 5W-40 Fully Synthetic so it looks like both are suitable, as for the washer i am just back from citroen dealer & he gave me the type of washer you recommended , so i am just waiting for the 8mm tool to come from ebay, then i'll be all set , will post how i get on

earlier on i bought 3. 1.Ltr bottles of castrol magnatec 10W-40 semi synthetic at £5 a Ltr from asda , which i think should be okay, when i look for a suitable washer on ebay , i did'nt see a washer with rubber inset there seems to be at least 3 washers for the C3, i don't know which one will suit my C3 14CC LX 2004 , do you think that particular washer with insert is what is on my car, want to have everything ready when i start the job

should i change the washer on the sump plug in case it leaks

I understand now what you mean by 8mm square plug key, ebay has them i will order one thanks again

thanks moderator for reply , i'm still a bit confused about unscrewing sump plug, i thought a socket about 23 mm might fit , but now i'm wondering is there a hole in the centre of the plug ,which i would need some kind of 8mm tool to put in the hole to get it off could you give me more info about getting that sump plug off ,

Hi, i just joined this club, i have a C3 LX14 2004. & i would like to do a oil change & filter, i have the 27mm for the filter but don't know the sump plug size , biggest i have is a 22mm which is just to small , anyone done a C3 recently who remembers what the sump plug size is . thanks in advance
