Around 215-220 Nm (exact figures depend on specific tuning and market).
Injection Type:
High-Pressure Direct Injection (HPi)
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Gasoline
Throttle Body:
Electronically Controlled Throttle (drive-by-wire).
Type:
Likely a manual transmission as standard for this engine variant in many markets, with options for automatic.
Type:
Automatic Transmission (likely a conventional torque converter automatic or potentially a semi-automatic like the 'Selespeed' depending on region, though less common with HPi).
Coverage:
Manual provides information for all transmission types covered for the 2004 C8.
Vehicle Type:
MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) / Minivan.
Platform Sharing:
Shares platform with Fiat Ulysse, Lancia Phedra, and Peugeot 807 (all part of the SEVEL platform).
Seating Configuration:
Typically offered with 5, 6, 7, or 8 seats in multiple rows.
Curb Weight Estimate:
Varies significantly based on configuration, but likely in the range of 1650 - 1800 kg.
Euro Ncap Score:
Likely awarded 4 or 5 stars for adult occupant protection (Euro NCAP for the platform generally achieved high scores).
ABS:
Standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution).
Esp:
Likely equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) as an option or standard on higher trims.
Airbags:
Multiple airbags (front, side, curtain) would be standard or optional.
Audio System:
Standard radio/CD player with potential for upgraded systems featuring steering wheel controls and multi-speaker setups.

Manual or automatic climate control with dual or multi-zone capabilities.
Navigation System:
Optional satellite navigation system may have been available.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically around 15,000-20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first (refer to manual for exact specification).
Timing Belt Interval:
For the 2.2 16V, timing belt replacement is crucial, usually around 120,000 km or 5-6 years (consult manual).
Engine Oil:
Likely specifications such as Total Quartz INEO MC3 5W-30 or equivalent meeting PSA B71 2290 (Low SAPS oil due to direct injection and potential DPF). Manual will confirm exact API/ACEA ratings and viscosity.
Coolant:
Likely PSA Group approved coolant (e.g., Type D - green or blue ethylene glycol based).
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 or DOT 4 LV.
Common Problems:
Potential issues can include swirl flap problems in diesel variants (less applicable to HPi), EGR valve issues, DMF (Dual Mass Flywheel) wear on manual transmissions, and electrical gremlins common in European vehicles of this era. HPi direct injection systems can be sensitive to fuel quality and injector fouling.
Hpi Specifics:
The HPi direct injection system may require specific diagnostic tools for troubleshooting and could be prone to carbon buildup on intake valves if maintenance is neglected.
Citroen Legacy:
Citroën is known for innovation and comfort, often incorporating advanced suspension and unique design elements.
C8 Genesis:
The Citroën C8 is part of the second generation of large MPVs developed by PSA Peugeot Citroën in cooperation with Fiat Auto. Launched in 2002, it replaced the Citroën Evasion.
