If you click "SHOW MORE" in the description above your be able to see Links to the Tools 🔧🔨🔧 I use. Also Clickable Chapters📋 📙 throughout the video and other Links 🎬 that may be of interest. I've had a few viewers request where they can buy the tools they see in some of my videos but it's not very clear that the "SHOW MORE" tab has a lot of information in that may be of interest.

Just finished doing this job on my daughter's 208. Absolutely perfect step by step guide. It hd done 77k and the belt was showing sure signs of breaking up. Most difficult bit is getting the manifold off. Other than that it is a fairly straightforward job.

The best and informative video I have ever seen. full of details, nice shooting and calmly presented

[streetrider]

Disassemble 1/2 the engine ....for a timing belt change. well done PSA!!!

[RobertoDellatorre-nn]

Very well done video I managed to replace timing belt following step by step only a little change for getting out the intake manifold i took off the engine braket and lowered the
engine with a jack thank you so much never could have done the job( 8hrs)without your precious explanations keep on going Roberto from Rome Italy

Did my wife's last week using this guide, did it quite easily over 2 days with plenty of breaks. Would be interested on more info regards getting more access to remove manifold via either dropping the engine or removing the bulkhead as it was a bit of a pig! One thing I found from another internet write-up was there was enough access to change the belt without removing the dephasers so I did it without removing them. Two less bolts to torque as the torque of the crankshaft bolt was terrifying!!

I'm about to make a 4000 km trip with my 2016 1, 2 puretech citroen c3 with 160 000 kilometers on the meter. Being a bit concerned even though 175000 km/5 years is the intervall. Talking to the citroen mechanic at the destination of my trip I'm told there's a tool which measures the width of the belt and if it hasn't swollen more than the tool can slip easily on it's ok. I'm also told that the turbo engine has more problems with the belt.
Also he said that it's not very common that the belt brakes apart which is good since, also on the petrol engine, the valves will hit the piston in that case.

Just a quick tip: You can remove the intake manifold easily by loosening the motor mount to let the engine drop slightly. This way, you can avoid disconnecting the battery or draining the coolant.

Bravo, tranquillo e pacato nei movimenti, sei un King!

[fivedotsdave]

@ 15:30 where this person was struggling with the manifold, I took the engine mount off and moved the engine forwards and lower on a trolley jack, it makes life so much

[Paul_VanGo]

The top of the bulkhead is fairly easy to remove, which gives you heaps of room to see and work. And, in that case, there is no need to drain the coolant, remove the battery, etc.
Same goes for all the smaller cars where this engine is mounted in.
C3, 208, even the C1 and 108.

Thanks for the video, will help a lot with a job coming in next week, cheers!

[itstheterranaut]

Great video, just what I was after- many thanks. The kit is ordered for my daughters.

May I ask (if you know)- how are these engines for longevity? This one we have seems to use a bit of oil.

thanks

[boxingphysique]

do you have to change the water pump and antifreeze with this belt???

[NicholasStreet]

Just bought one of these. Would be nice if there was an access panel to have a look at the belt without taking everything apart.

[SynthGrooves]

subscribed well documented video i have a quastion please
I own the same car with same engine its a 2016 model with 40, 000km is it time to replace it ?
thanks very much

[julianrojas]

Thank you for such video. Do you have a video replacing the oil pump to the same engine?

[Huseyin]

Thanks for the video. Do know which type of coolant to be used in this vehicle? I see blue or colorless (light brownish/dark yellow) coolant on different vehicles. The handbook says coolant is not to be replaced and doesnt give any specification.

[clintbalzan]

Very detailed video which makes it a fairly easy job.
Is it safe to disconnect the battery to don’t loose any codes on this model?

[Kalix]

Any way to check up on the belt without disassembling half the engine? Thanks for the video
