🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval Petrol:

Typically 15,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first. Check manual for specific engine.

Oil Change Interval Diesel:

Often 10,000 km or 1 year, especially for older diesel technology. Check manual for specific engine (e.g., DW10 HDi may have different intervals).

Cambelt Replacement:

Crucial for petrol engines (e.g., TU series) and HDi diesels. Intervals typically range from 90,000 km to 120,000 km or 5-6 years. Critical to follow manual recommendations to avoid catastrophic engine damage.

Engine Oil Specification:

Likely PSA specifications such as B71 2290 (for diesel) or B71 2300/2296 (for petrol). Viscosity grades will vary (e.g., 5W-40, 10W-40, 0W-30). Exact spec in manual.

Coolant Specification:

Long-life coolant, likely ethylene glycol-based, meeting PSA specifications. Color: typically blue or purple. Concentration: 50/50 mix with distilled water.

Brake Fluid Specification:

DOT 4 is highly probable for vehicles of this era.

Transmission Fluid Manual:

Manual gearbox oil, likely a GL-4 or GL-5 specification. Viscosity grade will be specified.

Transmission Fluid Automatic:

Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) meeting specific PSA requirements, e.g., LT 71141 or similar.

Common Diesel Issues:

DPF issues (if fitted on later HDi variants), glow plug failure, EGR valve clogging, potential turbocharger wear.

Common Petrol Issues:

Coil pack failure, ignition lead issues, catalytic converter failure, exhaust system corrosion.

Suspension Issues:

Wear in front suspension components (ball joints, drop links, bushings), rear axle beam issues (common on early models, less so on facelift).

Electrical Issues:

Issues with window regulators, central locking, dashboard warning lights, and parasitic battery drain can occur.

Body Issues:

Rust can be an issue, particularly on wheel arches, sills, and tailgate. Sliding door mechanisms can sometimes become stiff or problematic.
