Xsara Picasso Service?

[proevofanatik]

hello. i am wanting to attempt to give my car a service myself. What do i need to check and what do i need to change? I havnt had my car serviced in about 3 or 4 years due to financial reasons. and i think its about time it had one.

 

so could someone please give me a guide on what i need to do?

 

thanks

If it is in fact as long as 3 or four years, there's a lot to do. Start with oil and filter, then Air filter, fuel filter and pollen filter. Then a coolant change followed by a change of brake fluid. Then check brake pads and discs.

if im changing the oil. how much oil will i need to buy to fill the engine back up? also how much break fluid will i need?

 

could you also tell me where the filters are? the brake pads and stuff look easy to fit. i watched a video on youtube and it looked very easy indeed.

 

thanks

Maybe your first purchase ought to be a Haynes manual for your car. It will tell you how difficult jobs are and also how to set about doing them. Your Picasso takes 4.5 litres of oil to correctly fill the engine and also the new filter. You'll need 10W/40 semi-synth grade and look for CF/B3 on the can. Before attempting any other jobs, check that you have the correct tools.
