26 Jun Citroen

If you have a Citroen, you’ll understand what a joy it is to drive. Its stylish outlook turns heads on the road.

That doesn’t relieve an owner of the responsibility of maintaining it. Like all other vehicles, it needs tender loving care. We are on hand to provide it.

Is the Citroen Reliable?

The Citroen Picasso, C3, and C4 are among the Top 100 Reliable Cars.

For a start, the Citroen doesn’t use complex technology like other car brands, so servicing it isn’t such a headache. This car doesn’t cost much to repair. Spare parts are relatively easy to source. Furthermore, Citroen, as an established brand, is at the forefront of innovation.

For these reasons, one should be proud to drive a Citroen.

Why a Citroen Will Need Servicing

Every vehicle needs maintenance, including one as reliable as the Citroen. Here are the parts that may require regular upgrades.

1. Fuel Filter

Your Citroen’s fuel filter requires occasional replacement. If it does, you’ll notice the engine warning light on its dashboard. It will feel rough and use more fuel. Replace it according to the manufacturer’s recommended date.

2. Battery

Do you have problems starting your Citroën? It may have a failed battery. If there is pale blue residue on it, it has probably stopped working.

To extend its lifespan, park your car in a cold garage. Batteries tend to discharge in warm temperatures. If you use the car for short trips, make sure that you have an occasional long journey.

3. Flywheel and clutch

You may also need to replace your Flywheel. Yours probably needs a change if the Clutch feels insecure. A mechanic usually changes both the clutch and flywheel.

4. Brake Pads

A car’s brake pads need replacing if it takes a long time to slow it down. Remember not to press too hard on your brakes to make sure that they are balanced.

5. Timing Belt

Do you hear a screeching sound from your car’s engine? Its timing belt needs replacing. Regulate the temperature of your vehicle so that the rubber can expand and contract.

6. Water Pump

Fluid around your car’s water pump means that it needs changing. Replace it as recommended by your mechanic.

7. Gasket

Your car’s check engine light will illuminate if it has a blown gasket. Also, the engine’s temperature will be unusually high. Make sure that you check the water pump regularly to prevent overheating.

8. Starter Motor

A spoilt starter will make a lot of noise. Don’t hold the key for too long when you rev up the vehicle as you will reduce the motor’s lifespan.

Please consult our mechanics regarding service intervals and oil change periods.
