Is It The Same

[dixie]

Hello, I have not been on here for a long time, this is because my c5 has been faultless for years now.

I needed. A second car for work and could not find a nice c5 for the money I had. So I bought a xsara 53reg which is minted.

My question is the xsara is a 2.0hdi 110 bhp, is this the same engine as my c5 2.0hdi 110bhp, the reason I ask is the xsara is more expensive to tax.

Also the xsara is an automatic and I feel it needs the ATF changed, I have looked everywhere on the gearbox and can see where to drain the oil but can't see where to refill it, there is no dipstick to check the level either. Any help will be great.

 

Thanks Dixie.

I am pretty certain they are the same engine, but if you have an auto and your other car is a manual that will account for the difference.

 

As for the transmission, I suspect it is an AL4. If so, they require a special fluid available from Citroen. DO NOT use dexron as it is not compatible with the AL4 transmission and shorten its life. I have the oil change procedure here somewhere. If you PM me your email I will send it over.
