Oil Change Interval:
Typically 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first (refer to manual for specific engine type).
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial for petrol engines, often around 80,000-120,000 km or 5-7 years. Diesel engines may use a timing chain or belt with different intervals.
Engine Oil Specification:
API SG/SH or ACEA A2/A3, viscosity typically 10W-40 or 5W-40 depending on climate and engine type.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol based coolant with corrosion inhibitors. Typically 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Brake Fluid Specification:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Common Problems Petrol Engines:
Ignition coil failure, lambda sensor issues, coolant leaks, exhaust manifold cracks.
Common Problems Diesel Engines:
Glow plug failures, injector pump issues, turbocharger wear (TD models), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) problems.
Suspension Wear:
Rear torsion bar suspension can require adjustment or replacement of bushes over time. Front ball joints and track rod ends can also wear.
Electrical Gremlins:
Common in older French cars; wiring harness issues, grounding problems, and intermittent faults can occur.
European Car Of The Year Nomination:
The Citroen ZX was a contender for European Car of the Year in 1992, but did not win.
Consumer Ratings Era:
Generally well-regarded for comfort, handling, and practicality for its class, though electrical reliability could be a concern.
