This video is very Detailed and Useful. Brilliant job, Thank you👍
@@londonboyrocks Not a problem 👊 I’ve not put any vids out recently, as i’ve injured my knee. When i’m good to go, my sister inlaw’s C3 is waiting for me to carry out a job on it 👍
Hello. I have a C3 Picasso from 2016 which has driven 130.00. Now it says that it must have been serviced and I intend to do it myself. Do you know what it must have done for this service. Regards, Martin
@@martinjensen257 Hello. Yes, it will need the engine oil and filter, the fuel filter, air filter and pollen filter - and just a general look around the rest of the car. If you click on my channel there is a (Citroen C3 Picasso How To Videos) playlist. All the vids you need are in that playlist 👍 Regards Sandy.
@@gilberesrepairs YOU ARE A CHAMPION.
@@martinjensen257 Hope you get the info you require! 👊 Just thought with that mileage, maybe the gearbox oil aswell. (That’s in my C3 playlist)
Good methodical fault find & solving execise... Well presented... Keep 'em comming if he has any other problems with his Ka you can repair..
Thanks for the positive feedback! Yes, plenty of jobs to be doing. I'm currently out of action with a knee injury. I should be back soon with a service series on my sons Renault Megane 👍
Great stuff. Thanks for your help.

@@sarikas5761 Yes, i agree 👍 I’m currently unable to make videos for the next couple of weeks as i’ve torn my knee joint. When i’m mobile again i’ll whip out the wife’s plugs 👍
My daughter got this fault I probably won't do it I have butter fingers and drop everything, at least I know so can guide my mechanic I will probably change the second part you changed and see how it goes it looks easier to replace, great video, thanks
@@steveadi Excellent, i’m glad the video has given you some direction 😎 Even piece of mind that the garage is not ripping you off when they start saying “it could be this, it could be that” 😂 Thanks for watching the video and report back with the outcome 👍
I change it two weeks ago, and now i realised i dont have that plastic tray under the filter 😂😂 so i ordered it now
Excellent, watching the video helped 😎 Such an easy job to change the filter yourself and it’s done properly. Most garages just whip out the old filter and pop in the new one, without cleaning out any debris 👍
Wunderfull job Thanks
Thanks 🙏
Superbe vidéo ! Chaque étape est bien détaillée et bien filmée ( angle de vue , luminosité, son 👌). Merci beaucoup.
J'apprécie votre commentaire, MERCI 😎. Il faut un certain temps pour configurer l'éclairage et obtenir un bon angle de caméra. N'oubliez pas de consulter ma playlist Picasso 😉
THANK TOU FOR YOUR SERVICEEEEE

My heater just pumps out hot air all the time , even if turned off. Have u got any idea what that could be ?
Hello. Search… Ford KA heater control valve. It’ll probably be that valve. They are cheap on eBay, i replaced one on a Fiesta we had and it fixed the problem. Also, has the radio been removed recently? as removing the radio can disturb the electrical plugs behind the heater control knobs. Hope this gives you something to work with! If you’ve got any other questions, feel free to ask 👍 Regards Sandy.
Hi, great video Whats diagnostic are you using 😮
@@beetboob Hello. I think the plug in Wi-Fi reader is an ELM reader which was £10 on eBay. The APP i use is called Dash Command, which i paid another £10. So, £20 in total and it works well with Apple 🍏 Hope this helps 😉

Thanks for that. A very helpful video😊
You’re welcome 👍
Thanks mate nice easy video .keep em coming.
Thanks 🙏 Don’t forget to check out my Picasso Playlist 😉
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 RUclips and it shows how to do a wire repair 😉 ruclips.net/video/nFw3TU3ndMg/видео.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🤣
@@nwestdiver 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.
