I was given great advise many years ago " when it comes to changing any fluids, always make sure you can undo the refill nut bolt or screw before you drain it".
@@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 👍
Glad the vid was of some help 😎 I’ll remember that tip about removing the air box to gain access rather than removing the battery. I’ll be replacing the oil in my C3 Picasso this year and will try that 👍
Could you put 2.5 liters of oil? I think that is the maximum capacity I wonder 2 liters or 2.5 liters is the best result.And is it necessary to change the oil filter as well?
Thanks you, this vidéo help me a lot. But removing the battery was a nigthmare 😱 I was changing the suspension but the drive shaft came too and, oil everywhere. Sorry I'm not english so it may be difficult to understand.
Merci pour le commentaire positif! J'ai aussi trouvé que c'était un cauchemar de retirer la batterie 🤯 Je suis content que la vidéo ait été d'une certaine aide! Découvrez ma liste de lecture C3 😜

Thanks so much for video. I have this issue (P0937 Gearbox Oil Temperature Signal Fault. Permanent Fault.) can you tell me where the location sensor, gear box temperature please?
@@gilberesrepairs mine is a manual gearbox and thank you for taking the time to reply, appreciate it. I’ve subscribed and will take a look at your other tutorials. Thanks
Hi how do you know when youve got right amount..emg if you were topping up. My cars done 46000 miles some leaked out from drive shaft sili im not sure how much i need ir shouodbi just charge the lot
Yes, i would drain the oil and replace it. The oil seals are not expensive, i think they are only £15 ish. A garage would probably charge up to 2hrs labour to fit a new seal. Then you know your new oil will stay in 👍
@@gilberesrepairs I am fairly competent d.i.y mechanic as I changed the control arms and shock myself. Is it not a case of it pushing into place and sliding over the lip edge on one side to create the seal? Or a specific tool is needed? Looks straightforward?
The oil seal just gets hooked out with a screwdriver and then the new one pressed in with a nylon mallet or with a big socket. Take a look at my C3 clutch video… ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rDH2iX0yUgY.html Driveshaft removal at 8mins 10secs You can see the oil seal above my grease can at 37mins 10secs Hope this helps 👍
@@gilberesrepairs thanks yes saw it. The drive shaft is it simple slot in to place and the rubber seal seals it. Or does it lock into place by pushing or tapping it...I.e circlip type It popped out without me even realising until I saw the oil piss out lol. So I was messing with it trying to get it to lock/engage in place? But as soon as I tried to lower car police was leaking out.
Hola, es aceite de engranajes 75w 80. Se utiliza en la caja de cambios manual. El aceite que usé se muestra a las 6:11 en el video. Gracias por el comentario y mira mis otros videos de Citroen C3. 👍
Thanks for the enquiry 👍 I don’t think this would be possible, because of the internal workings of the gearbox obstructing the extractor pump pipe. Don’t forget to checkout my C3 playlist 😜
@@johnmaurer2035 Or if you don't have one to hand just anneal the one you took off, heat to glowing red then as quickly as possible quench in cold water..
