Engine Type:
Inline 4-cylinder, turbocharged direct injection diesel (HDi)
Displacement:
1.6 Liters (1560 cc)
Bore X Stroke:
Typically 75.3 mm x 88.3 mm for this engine family (specific to 1.6 HDi DV6)
Compression Ratio:
Typically around 17.6:1 for this engine family
Valve Train:
DOHC, 16 valves
Horsepower:
Approximately 90-110 PS (metric horsepower) depending on specific tuning and market (likely around 109 PS or 80 kW for this variant)
Torque:
Approximately 240-250 Nm at around 1750-2000 rpm (specific figures in manual)
Injection System:
Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDi)
Emission Control:
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) likely present on this variant.
Transmission Type:
Likely a 5-speed manual transmission (e.g., BE4/M or similar PSA unit).
Optional Transmission:
Could potentially be mated to an automatic transmission, though less common with the 1.6 HDi.
Transmission Fluid:
Specific fluid type and capacity would be detailed in the manual (e.g., PSA specific manual transmission fluid).
Euro Ncap Rating:
The first-generation C5 achieved a 5-star Euro NCAP rating in 2004.
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Esp:
Electronic Stability Program (ESP), likely standard or optional.
Ebs:
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
Airbags:
Multiple airbags including front, side, and curtain airbags.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 20,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first, for diesel engines (specifics in manual).
Timing Belt Replacement:
The 1.6 HDi engine (DV6) uses a timing belt. Replacement interval is typically around 240,000 km or 10 years (critical to verify with manual).
Engine Oil Specification:
Likely requires low-SAPS engine oil meeting PSA B71 2290 specification (e.g., 0W-30 or 5W-30).
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with organic additives (OAT), typically purple or blue color. Specification PSA B71 5100.
Brake Fluid Specification:
DOT 4 (or DOT 4 LV for low viscosity) brake fluid.
Dpf Problems:
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clogging can occur with insufficient long-distance driving or frequent short trips. Manual would detail regeneration procedures.
Egr Valve Issues:
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become stuck or clogged, leading to performance issues and emissions faults.
Hydractive Suspension:
While advanced, Hydractive suspension components can require specialized maintenance or repair, detailed within the manual.
Citroen Legacy:
Citroën has a long history of innovation, particularly in suspension technology (e.g., Hydropneumatic) and avant-garde design.
C5 First Gen:
The first-generation C5 (X4) replaced the Citroën XM and Xantia, known for its distinctive styling and advanced features like Hydractive 3+ suspension.
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily manufactured in France.
