Engine Family:
Citroen CX Series (various configurations possible, but 1987 typically offered 2.0L, 2.2L, 2.5L, and potentially the CX Turbo models)
Horsepower Range:
Varies by engine variant (e.g., CX 20 ~80-90 hp, CX 25 ~110-130 hp, CX Turbo 25 ~165-170 hp)
Torque Range:
Varies by engine variant (e.g., CX 20 ~150 Nm, CX 25 ~190-210 Nm, CX Turbo 25 ~280-300 Nm)
Fuel Delivery:
Typically Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection for later models or carburetion for earlier variants.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Petrol (Premium)
Layout:
Inline-4 Cylinder, Transverse Front-Wheel Drive
Crash Test Results:
No standardized crash test ratings available for this era and region in the same way as modern vehicles.
Active Safety:
Disc brakes on all wheels, advanced hydropneumatic suspension providing stable handling.
Passive Safety:
Front seat belts, integrated crumple zones (design philosophy).
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 5,000 - 7,500 km or 6 months (consult specific engine type).
Suspension Fluid Change:
Regular checks and flushing/replacement of hydraulic fluid are critical (intervals vary, often tied to mileage or time, e.g., 30,000-50,000 km).
Engine Oil Specification:
API SF/SG, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-40 (confirm for specific engine variant and climate).
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Citroen LHS 2 (mineral oil based) or LHS M (LHM, green mineral oil based for later models and certain repairs). Crucial to use the correct type.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors, typically 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Hydropneumatic System:
Leaking spheres, worn seals, accumulator issues, loss of ride height, noisy pump. Requires specialized knowledge.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion on connectors, aging wiring harnesses, issues with relays and fuses can cause intermittent problems.
Rust:
Common in vulnerable areas like wheel arches, sills, and chassis points, especially in regions with road salt.
Engine Performance:
Carburetor/injection system tuning, ignition component wear, potential for gasket leaks.
