Hydropneumatic Fluid:

LHM Plus (Citroën hydraulic mineral oil), typically green. Citroën part number: GVA 62110 or equivalent.

Known Issues

Suspension Spheres:

Hydropneumatic suspension spheres can lose pressure over time, leading to a harsh ride or 'bottoming out'. Replacement is a common maintenance item.

Anti-Pollution Filters:

Diesel models (XUD) can have issues with the anti-pollution filter (catalytic converter in some cases, or simpler exhaust silencer/catalyst unit) clogging, especially with short journeys.

Electrical Connectors:

Corrosion or poor connections in electrical connectors, particularly in the engine bay and under the dashboard, can cause intermittent faults.
