Thanks for the video. One short question, I see that when you returned the cylinder, the protective rubber of the cylinder got a little wrinkled. Is that a big problem??
Hope the vid helped 👍 Yes, definitely un-twist the rubber boot. I straightened mine out by just feeding in a small terminal screwdriver in between the boot and the piston to re-position it 😉 The rubber boot is there to prevent dirt/moisture ingress, so is important for the long term operation of the calliper. Regards Sandy.
How often shall we change the coolant ?
The coolant should be changed between 30 and 50 thousand miles. I bet nobody does it 😂 Don’t forget to check out my Arona playlist 😉
very good bro
Hope the vid helps 👍
Hello. I would like to ask you this. I have bought a 2016 Citroen C3 1.6BlueHdi 99ps, 5 speed manual with 105.000km on the clock. When I started driving the car, the clutch felt very stiff. I changed the whole clutch set (LUK parts) as well as the clutch pump, and only the first day the clutch was quite lighter. After the second day, the clutch feels almost as hard as before changing it. Well, it has an initial soft feeling for the first 1/5 of the clutch travel and then it starts becoming very stiff to press. And of course, when lifting the foot, it depresses with the opposite firm way. It actually hurts my left foot, where I press the pedal. Should this be normal? Does this car has or must have such a stiff clutch? Thank tou. Vassilis
Hello Vassilis. Definitely not normal. We currently have two Citroens in the family and they both behave how a clutch should behave. I would recommend unbolting the clutch pump (slave cylinder) from the side of the gearbox and trying the pedal again. This would prove whether your fault is internal (clutch) or an external fault. Certainly better than removing the gearbox again!! Keep us updated... Sandy.
Hello. Thank you for your prompt response. I do not have engineering knowledge and I cannot do these things on my own. I went to 2 different mechanics and they told me that the clutch sensation is almost standard. But I am sure that if I leave it like this it will totally hurt my leg. I couldn't imagine such an airy small French car to be so hard on tge clutch. I have started thinking to try and find any reinforced upper or/and lower clutch pumps, or even better a servo mechanism.
@@vassilisg If two garages say it’s ok then it must close to how it should feel. Maybe some research on modifications would help in the long run 👍

One if the wires going to the maf sensor was chewed off by a rat and the check engine light came on. Should i just patch the wire and disconnect the battery for a while? Will this fix the issue?
Hello. Dis-connect the battery, do your wire repair and re-connect the battery. I’m unsure if your engine light will stay on or will go off when the cable is repaired. Sometimes you have to delete the code with a code reader. I did a soldering video when i first started CZcams and it shows how to do a wire repair 😉 czcams.com/video/nFw3TU3ndMg/video.htmlsi=eVCtO9oW04KOeWqG Let us know how you get on 👍
I'm glad you have those videos up. I'm going to write my signature on those filters and bring to my dealer, last time I brought my car to them, they pretend they have changed the car battery, which they haven't, so I'm sick and tired of them trying to cheat on me...
The pollen filter is an easy one to say has been changed when it hasn’t, because most people don’t even know it exists 👍 The pollen filter is not on every service schedule, you would have to specifically say you want it changed 😉 Hope all goes well and thanks for watching my channel 👍
Mine was the same.
Yeah, quite nasty! I’ve just watched it through, and realised i didn’t add the link at the end… all sorted now 👍 I will do another video on the Picasso showing the scuttle panel removal and clearing of the nastiness. I’ll do that before the winter. Keep an eye out for the vid 😉
Thank you Sir!
Not a problem 👍
About time a video when you start with the bonnet closed, it makes life so much easier when people can see what parts are being undone to get to the part your fixing or replacing
Thanks for the positive feedback 😎 I’m trying to keep the channel user friendly for the average home mechanic, (like me) and using basic hand tools accessible to most people. Hope the vid helped you out 👍
Thank you sooooooo much brother for your excellent suggestions
Not a problem, glad to of helped 👍 I’ve got an Arona Playlist on my channel if you want to see other vids 😉
@@gilberesrepairs Yes I watched them all one by one.again again thanks to... all wonderful videos
@@user-ib3ng7nm1k Excellent 😎 Now you’ve gotta do the jobs 👎
Is it the same for the 2017 model?
The 2017 is the new shape C3. I’m unsure, and i wouldn’t want to give you incorrect advice, so i would say NO they are different. The engine fitted to my sons car is a 1.4 hdi diesel engine… most of the newer C3’s tend to have a 1.2 petrol engine fitted. Sorry i couldn’t help 🤷♂️

I followed this guide the first time I changed CVT fluid (good guide). This time as I was watching the video again it struck me - why not just remove the battery? Its easier, faster and less of a hassle, and worked just as well^^
Excellent, anything that’s makes our lives easier is a good thing 😎 So, you only removed the battery, none of the air box assembly?
Agreed! Yeah just lifted the battery out and unplugged some of the electric cables. It felt like cheating🤣
@@martinaronsen3586 The next time the father in-law wants his gearbox oil changed, i’ll remove the battery and record another video 👍 Thanks for the feedback, it’s good for anyone watching the video and reading the comments 😎 Regards, Sandy.

And the power steering wheel fluid, where is it? Thanks
Hello. These cars have electric steering, so no fluid to check 👍
Does cleaning the map sensor improve the fuel efficiency? Mine's around 10 km/l
I would clean the Maf and the Map sensors and definitely check the air filter. If you look on my channel i've got a Yeti Playlist which shows how to service the car... air filter included 👍
I had a broken spring on the front right wheel. Went to the mechanics and decided to change both the front right spring and the front left spring. At the same time it was time to change from winter tires to summer tires. I bought 4 new Nokian summer tires. I also was at the mechanics that check the balance between all the tires. But on a Seat Ibiza you cant do anything with the rear tires just on the front tires and so they did. All this was for 6 weeks ago. Since i got my car back from the guy who check my tires on the car i have got the pressure tire light warning nearly every day. I had a toe in on my car and he put it close to 0 or maybe tiny toe out. I have also been at my local Seat dealer and they cant understand why i have it like this. My Seat dealer will help me next week to send my car to the guy they use for buying new tires and he also can check if I got the perfect balance between toe in and toe out. Have anyone of you had it like this? I am going like crazy in any minute from now🤣🤣👍
Hello, sounds like you've been having fun 🙄 If the mechanic removed the front struts to replace the springs then its best to get the alignment set-up to prevent uneven tyre wear, so i would definitely get that re-checked. Regarding the tyre pressures...have you checked the tyre pressures are correct and reset the computer as shown in my video? If the mechanic who replaced your tyres put the wheels back in a different position on the car, this can cause an issue. There is a pressure sensor on the back of the valve inside the wheel and sometimes these can be damaged when changing tyres over. Regards Sandy.
@@gilberesrepairs i will gonto an other mechanic on monday for new check on toe in and toe out. He will also check the balance on my tires. Do you call it "spider joint"? The car is 8 years. Maybe those might be broken or having problem when they change the springs?
@@fredrikjaensson7350 I’m sure the other mechanic will sort it out! Keep us updated on the progress 👍 Hope all goes well.
@@gilberesrepairs i will. I have been having this for like 6 weeks now and spent to much money on this issue. But having the pressure tire light turn on nearly every single day drive me crazy. Some Seat cars seems to get this during a life time but I really I hope I get the answers that solve this. My wifes Ibiza dont have any buttons to confirm the pressure like the old Leon had near the handbrake, everything is on the lcd.
@@fredrikjaensson7350 I'm sure everything will be fine 👍

Thanks, hope it helped 👍 Don’t forget to check out my Jazz Playlist 😉
Thanks for that - I'm thinking of fitting a towbar to my C3 Picasso and it's really helpful to watch you going through it.
