Common problems and easy repairs on a 2017 C3

The 2017 Citroen C3 PureTech is a moderately easy vehicle to maintain. All of the headlights are accessible by simply reaching behind the bulb housing, allowing for reliable bulb changes whenever necessary. Monitoring the brake fluid shouldn’t be a problem given its reservoir’s relatively accessible cap and level markers. The engine coolant system is also easy to monitor given the unobstructed access to its reservoir and hoses.

However, the 2017 Citroen C3 PureTech has its downsides. The limited visibility to the tail light housing’s fasteners may prove to be a problem when removing it from the vehicle. The engine air filter’s cramped position will make it difficult to reach its many fasteners and thus won’t allow for reliable filter changes. The cabin air filter also has a tight reach that might slow down an otherwise quick repair.
