I Am New Here.

hi to you all I have just taken delivery of my C3 Picasso 1.6 CVT on a 13 plate and I must admit it is a very nice car to drive. But please can anyone tell me if there is any thing I need to look out for (problem wise)

Welcome to the forum.

 

Is the engine petrol or diesel ? If diesel the engine oil/filter needs frequent changing using the correct oil (listed in the Warranty and Maintenance guide) to help ensure the turbo lasts. Also when the engine is started do not rev it straight away and before turning off the engine let it idle for maybe half a minute for the turbo to slow down whilst oil is still being pumped round.

 

For everything else make sure it works whilst you have a warranty. If in the future a suspension coil spring breaks, Citroen often replace them free of charge and do both sides.
