Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 15,000 km (9,300 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Check manual for specific HDi oil grade.
Oil Filter Replacement:
At every oil change.
Air Filter Replacement:
Every 30,000 km (18,600 miles) or 24 months.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Every 30,000 km (18,600 miles) or 24 months for diesel.
Coolant Change:
Every 60,000 km (37,300 miles) or 48 months.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial for HDi engines; typically around 120,000 km (75,000 miles) or 5 years. Consult manual for exact interval and associated component replacement (tensioners, idlers).
Engine Oil:
Likely API CF or ACEA B3/B4 specifications, with a viscosity grade of 5W-40 or 10W-40. Refer to manual for exact PSA approval (e.g., PSA B71 2290 for low SAPS oils with DPF).
Coolant:
Antifreeze/coolant concentrate conforming to PSA standards (e.g., PSA S71 2103) mixed with distilled water (50/50 ratio).
Power Steering Fluid:
ATF Dexron II or III, or specific PSA fluid.
Dpf Clogging:
Diesel Particulate Filter can clog if the vehicle is primarily used for short journeys, preventing adequate regeneration cycles. Requires longer drives or manual regeneration/cleaning.
Egr Valve Issues:
EGR valve can become clogged with carbon deposits, leading to reduced performance and increased emissions.
Suspension Wear:
Common MPV issue: wear in suspension components like ball joints, bushings, and tie rod ends due to vehicle weight and usage.
Electrical Gremlins:
Older PSA vehicles can sometimes suffer from electrical issues related to body control modules, wiring harnesses, or sensor failures.
Citroen Legacy:
Citroën has a long history of innovative and practical vehicle design, often focusing on comfort and unique engineering solutions.
Evasion Development:
The Evasion was part of the Eurovan project, a collaboration between PSA Peugeot Citroën and Fiat Group, launched in 1994.
Facelift:
The Evasion received a significant facelift in 2002, which included updated styling, interior refinements, and improved technology, including potentially updated DPF systems.
Production Period:
1994 - 2002 (followed by the Citroën C8).
