I just got a C1 after 15 years on bike and it's a great little car but garages hourly rate is though the roof. I've done most of the service myself thanks to you and others on RU-vid.
Yep, got quoted £400 to change the front passenger seat belt, got a decent one from a breakers for less than £30 and fitted in less than an hour. Front discs and pads less than £40 fitted, oil and filter service less than £30, another £20 for air filter and pollen filter.
Thanks for the clesr instructions did this all and ordered all the bits you suggested, finally had time to do it and all went smooth enough. Thabks as always for all your great vids.
A very helpfull video, thans! I changed the gearbox-oil today (8th July 23) exactly according your video, without any problems! 😊 Greets from Switzerland
Just followed this tutorial for a 2008 Yaris 1.0, that has got the same motor (the 1FR-FE Daihatsu) shared on the Aygo too. Same specs for trasmission oil 75w80, 1.7 litres :) thanks for your valuable instructions!
@@TinnoRambo I had the feeling that shifted Better. Also, seems that the First engages Better too. But It's not that radical feeling, so take It as It Is ;)
hello, you doing a very good job and your videos are very usefull. i have a problem with my aygo 2008, i need your help. i recently purchased this car and the airbag light blinking dont know how to fix. i see a broken wires on both driver and passanger seat, wire colors are orange, yellow and green with yellow striped. but im not sure is this the reason for that. airbag light goes on for two second and goes off for two second and this cycle continues. please help me with this. am a big fan of you.
Hello! Thank You for Your time and such useful content. I would like to ask You what kind of gearbox is maintained in this video. Is it a 5-gear 2 Tronic or some other? Thank You in advance!
It might be a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway. What are the reasons for changing gearbox oil? What would happen if I didn’t had the oil changed?
There are no such thing as a dumb question. Asking questions is how we learn. The oil degrades over time and with use. It's ability to lubricate, cool and protect (gears bearings seals) reduces. The manufacturer has determined an average lifetime of around 150k with no further action. Refreshing the oil occasionally can extend the box life massively
@@CycloneCyd I was wondering how a gear box with old oil behaved? You mention that it protects the gear bearing seal. How would an unlubricated seal behave in a car? Will I have difficulties shifting gears or something similar?Thanks.
@@JLyck noise, difficult shifts, leaks, economy loss and eventually complete failure of some sort. My son's Polo suffered a seized box at just 96k miles having never had an oil change. Average 'life' being 150k means 1/3 to 1/2 of all boxes will suffer early life failure before this. If you do nothing, you might be lucky or you might be unlucky.There is no way to predict which. Changing the oil is not a guarantee of long life, but it does stack the odds in your favour instead of against you. Oil is cheap - a 'box rebuild is not.
good video! what kind of transmission do you have? i cant find the maintnense book of my aygo form 2007. this car has a semi automatic, and i cant find on the internet witch oil it needs to have. do you know? greetongs from the netherlands👋
Thanks, if you had the car level (just for ectra safety) would the drain plug still drain fully and would fill plug still fill (fully)? Is having the right sideof the vehicle higher strictly necessary? thanks
My question is if I dont want to change the oil how to know the oil inside is enough ? is there any lever or the oil must be just little under the fill plug ?
Hi, I have a 1.0ltr Peugeot 107 automatic 2013. Could I also use this mannol oil? I was told I could use this for my auto gearbox, Can you please confirm this? Thank you
How mentioned dropping the car down the check the level of the oil is correct but didn't say how to check it. Can you please explain this? Is it just that if its overfilled that it will spill out of the fill hole? Can you even overfill this?
The fill hole is also the level hole. When the level in the 'box is correct you should just be able to discern oil on the threads of the hole. Any excess will drain back out from the fill hole.
Hi, do you have a video or advice on doing the automatic transmission fluid level check and possible change I cannot find any information regarding if this is ever required I still use what as my dads 2013 peugeot 107 automatic now covered 44k miles.
NO, absolutely not. The capacity is 1.7 litres, you should not run the box with a severe shortage of oil. Oil is important for lubrication of bearings and cooling of gear teeth (the contact between any two gears is a few mm^2 only.
@@CycloneCyd thanks for your quick response Are you sure you gearbox oil you use and have linked is compatible the citroen c1 2005-2011? 1 litre petrol
