Citroen service schedules can be very confusing since there are often multiple different schedules for the same model of vehicle, according to engine type and year of manufacture. Therefore, it is very important to consult your service book to ascertain the correct interval for your vehicle. Alternatively, give us a call if you would like some friendly assistance. All of the service schedules are based on either time or mileage: whichever comes soonest. Please see below for some examples: Note: The 1.6 diesel models have shorter distance service intervals due to turbo related problems. Service intervals for more recent models (2014 onwards) of both petrol and diesel engines often have the same recommended intervals of 16,000 miles/1year. C1 petrol: range from 10,000 miles/1 year to 16,000 miles/1 year C1 diesel: 20,000 miles/2 years C3 petrol models: range from 12,500 miles/1 year to 20,000 miles/2 years C3 diesel models: range from 12,500 miles/1 year to 20,000 miles/2 years. C3 Picasso petrol models: range from 20,000 miles/1 year to 20,000 miles/2 years C3 Picasso diesel models: range from 12,500 miles/1 year to 12,500 miles/2 years C4 Picasso petrol models: 12,500 miles/2 years to 20,000 miles/2 years C4 Picasso diesel models: 12,500 miles/1year to 20,000 miles/2 years C4 petrol & diesel models: 12,500 miles/1 year to 20,000 miles/2 years C4 Cactus petrol & diesel models: 16,000 miles/1 year DS3 petrol models: 12,500 miles/1 year to 20,000 miles/2 years DS3 diesel models: 12,500 miles/1 year to 20,000 miles/1 year DS4 petrol models: 20,000 miles/1 year to 20,000 miles/2 years DS4 diesel models: 12,500 miles/1 year to 20,000 miles/2 years Berlingo petrol models: 20,000 miles/1 year to 20,000 miles/2 years Berlingo diesel models: 12,500 miles/1 or 2 years to 16,000 miles/1 year Relay petrol models: 20,000 miles/1 year Relay earlier diesel models: 12,500 miles/1 year to 20,000/1 year Relay later diesel models: 12,500 miles/1 year to 30,000 miles/2 years. As with all modern diesel engines, the latest Citroen models have a particulate system which adds a cleaning agent to the particulate filter located in the exhaust system. When the fluid becomes low, the driver will be alerted via a dash warning message. The fluid will need to be re-filled, the counter re-set and any faults in the engine management ECU will need to be cleared/rectified. In most cases, a regeneration will need to be performed. However, this will not be possible unless all faults in the engine management ECU have been cleared prior to carrying out this function. If your vehicle has two yearly service schedules, Citroen recommend an interim service alternate years to include an oil and filter change. Brake fluid should be renewed every two years. Air conditioning should be serviced every two years as the gas dissipates over time. However, it is not just a case of topping up the gas, since a service checks that the system is working effectively and that there are no leaks. To eliminate odours, the pollen filter should be replaced regularly (at least once every two years). |
