TROUBLESHOOTING
Checks
CHECKS
Bleeding the water contained in the
diesel filter
If this warning light comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine is
drained.
To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all
of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer .
Battery
At the start of winter, have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer .
Air filter and passenger compartment
filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the “Under the
bonnet” section of chapter 7.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, consult a
CITROËN dealer .
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the handbrake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer .
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer ’s servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s servicing schedule, refer
to the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle’s engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and characteristics.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking circuit, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
