HI about 3-4 weeks a go I had a problem with the water heat sensor coursing a bleeping and the heat bars going right up to the top for about 4 seconds then i thought i had solved it by going to the main dealers and buying a heat sensor. guess what its back only one thing left to cheque is the wire from the sensor. can anybody tell me where it goes from the sensor or post a diagram/photo so i can see where it goes and maybe I can re-wire the sensor this is the last chance the car is getting: thanks http://citroenC3owners.com/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif

getting all the nut and bolts of as you can not hold the TORQUE WRENCH with the Deep Impact Socket and the Torx Spline Socket just impossable the only problem we had was the drive shaft came out of the gearbox housing so after doing the wishbones had to fill gearbox with fresh oil. cost of parts (£57 wishbones) = plus baught deep impact socket set + torx socket set so in total cost about £80 to £90 pounds citroen wanted £900 so saving £800 doing it yourself happy days

job done yesterday (friday 19/6/15) not to bad 4 hours so to start would like to thank my son-in-law for helping me. right the first thing about 4/5 days before you start wd40 all the nuts and bolts every day till you start the job it dose help next you will need a good TORQUE WRENCH + a good set of Hex Star Torx Spline Socket Bit Set Tool Kit about £11-00 of ebay next a good set of Deep Impact Socket Set 1/2" Drive 12 Point Metric Socket 13-32mm 13 Piece ebay about £25 to 30 pounds. just take your time think what your doing. job is defo a two man job (all the tools plus the parts cost about £80 to 90 pounds) citroen wanted £900-00 to do the job so if you can do it yourself do it. it`s a £800 saving

sorry its a Citroen C3 1.4 16V HDi diesel year: 2002 Engine: 1398cc 90hp. thanks for the information it has given me more confidence tackle the job now
