hertsnminds Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 My Pluriel had it's 20,000 mile service today checklist says the following was done: Drain/Refill Engine oil (10W40) Replace oil filter Check levels of; Brake fluid, Engine coolant, Power steering fluid and screenwash fluid Check: Sealing and condition of pipes and casings, Condition of; exhaust system, gaiters, driveshafts, ball joints, accessory drive belts, wiper blades and steering rack Front/rear brake pad wear (mine were about 50% worn) Condition and pressure of tyres (I had them swap mine round front to back) Clutch pedal travel, including adjust or condition of automatic adjuster (I assume this means the sensodrive unit in my case) Parking brake Lighting and signalling Force required for front and rear locking of the roof arch mechanisms Play in hubs, link rods, ball joints and pivots Sealing of dampers Calipers, discs and brake pipes Tension of accessory drive belts Replace pollen filter Grease the folding roof arch rails and cassette Read fault codes Reset maintenance indicator Road test the vehicle Total cost £155 The only other things I asked for were some new wiper blades, but these are not in stock (price on the board in the showroom £8.22), swap the tyres (front and back), the rears had about 1mm more tread than the front and try to fix a creaky plastic panel. Not bad if that's all it costs every 2 years. However, next time I am sure it will need 4 new tyres and new brake discs and pads. Might even need a new exhaust. That's almost enough for a deposit on a new car!Seems cars are designed to be kept for a maximum of 3 years these days. But then again the next service isn't due until March 2007.

Where do I check/fill it? tys Quote
hertsnminds Posted March 22, 2005 Author Posted March 22, 2005 I had a look in the owners manual and a quick peek under the bonnet, the answer is nowhere obvious :ph34r: All the other fillers are marked up, Oil, Screenwash, Coolant, Brake fluid but no sign of the power steering reservoir so it must be hiding under one of the plastic covers. I will try to have a longer look when the weather gets better (or I might just ask my dealer next time I am in). Ian Orange 03 Senso Quote
organist Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I think you'll find that the Power Steering is actuated by an electronic system - no fluid needed Quote
hertsnminds Posted March 22, 2005 Author Posted March 22, 2005 Strange that Citroen would put it on the checklist for a service if there is no fluid to check, but then again this is Citroen we are talking about :ph34r: Ian Orange 03 Senso Quote
