I was given great advise many years ago " when it comes to changing any fluids, always make sure you can undo the refill nut bolt or screw before you drain it".

[@gilberesrepairs]

@@ggj666 Excellent advice 👍

[@londonboyrocks]

This video is very Detailed and Useful. Brilliant job, Thank you👍

[@gilberesrepairs]

@@londonboyrocks Not a problem 👊 I’ve not put any vids out recently, as i’ve injured my knee. When i’m good to go, my sister inlaw’s C3 is waiting for me to carry out a job on it 👍

[@SonOfScotland]

Thanks so much couldn't believe my luck when there was a clear video on my actual model of car!!!

[@gilberesrepairs]

Excellent, glad to of helped! Check out my other C3 videos in the playlist 👍

[@sbhepworth]

Useful video Found it quite easy to remove air filter box to get to fill point Just a jubilee clip and a pipe to unplug

[@gilberesrepairs]

Glad the vid was of some help 😎 I’ll remember that tip about removing the air box to gain access rather than removing the battery. I’ll be replacing the oil in my C3 Picasso this year and will try that 👍

[@ahshanhabib84]

What a helpful video! I have a gearbox oil leak 😢 and need to replace the oil soon. Thanks for making this video!

[@gilberesrepairs]

No problem 👍 Glad to of helped you out. Check out my C3 playlist for other C3 items! 😜

[@Zanger93]

Thank you for information , you help to save a lot of money!!!

[@gilberesrepairs]

Not a problem 👍 I’ve now created a playlist of C3 videos so it’s easier to find them on the channel.

[@todayintheshopbanksy5904]

Just done a drive shaft on sisters c3 and lost a bit, so will do a change on it. Thought is was going to be a pain but looks ok to do

[@gilberesrepairs]

Yes, it’s worth doing a full oil change! The main job is actually removing the battery 👍

[@MoiAimeBien]

Thanks you, this vidéo help me a lot. But removing the battery was a nigthmare 😱 I was changing the suspension but the drive shaft came too and, oil everywhere. Sorry I'm not english so it may be difficult to understand.

[@gilberesrepairs]

Merci pour le commentaire positif! J'ai aussi trouvé que c'était un cauchemar de retirer la batterie 🤯 Je suis content que la vidéo ait été d'une certaine aide! Découvrez ma liste de lecture C3 😜

Great video

[@gilberesrepairs]

Thanks for the positive comment 👍 Don’t forget to look at my C3 playlist 😉

[@ÇağlarEfesoy-r6k]

Could you put 2.5 liters of oil? I think that is the maximum capacity I wonder 2 liters or 2.5 liters is the best result.And is it necessary to change the oil filter as well?

[@gilberesrepairs]

@@ÇağlarEfesoy-r6k Oil filter ??

[@ÇağlarEfesoy-r6k]

Could you put 2.5 liters of oil? (My gearbox is automated manuel) I think that is the maximum capacity I wonder 2 liters or 2.5 liters is the best result.And is it necessary to change the oil filter as well

[@gilberesrepairs]

@@ÇağlarEfesoy-r6k I’m unsure of the oil capacity on an automatic gearbox. If it has a filter, i would definitely renew it 👍

[@Rozhlya]

Thanks so much for video. I have this issue (P0937 Gearbox Oil Temperature Signal Fault. Permanent Fault.) can you tell me where the location sensor, gear box temperature please?

[@gilberesrepairs]

Hello, Has your car got a Manual gearbox or a Auto/Semi-auto gearbox?

[@Rozhlya]

@@gilberesrepairs sami auto. 2012(Citroen C3 Airdream Vtr+ E-Hdi S-A) please.

[@gilberesrepairs]

@@Rozhlya I think the temperature sensor is inside the gearbox, not externally mounted. I’m not 100% sure, I’ll do some digging and get back to you 👍

Which year is the car ? Great video!

[@gilberesrepairs]

Thanks for the positive comment 👍 It’s a 2011 C3 with the 1.4 hdi engine.

[@MegaRusty64]

Hi, fantastic how to tutorial. The fluid you are using… would that be the exact same oil for the Citroen Ds3 e-hdi 1.6 ?? Cheers

[@gilberesrepairs]

If it’s a manual gearbox then it’s the same. Glad the tutorial is of some help! Have a look at the C3 playlist for other vids on my sons car 👍

[@MegaRusty64]

@@gilberesrepairs mine is a manual gearbox and thank you for taking the time to reply, appreciate it. I’ve subscribed and will take a look at your other tutorials. Thanks

Hello thanks for the video! There Is another way to fill up the oil in order to be sure to have the maximum level?

[@gilberesrepairs]

Hello, I’m unsure if there’s another way. This is the only way i know. There maybe another method.

[@rubenaguilarbianchi7966]

cuantos litros lleva entonces, 2 litros?

[@gilberesrepairs]

Hello, yes it takes 2 litres 👍 Don’t forget to look at my C3 playlist 😉

@@gilberesrepairs thanks

[@ashleybrown2560]

Great video, would this be similar to a c2? Thanks

[@gilberesrepairs]

Yes, i think it’s the same but i would check how much oil it takes. It maybe less if it’s a smaller gearbox 👍

[@frv6610]

Is it possible to top up the gearbox oil at engine compartment or somehow?

[@gilberesrepairs]

Hello, I'm unaware of any other method to fill the oil other than i showed in the video.👍 Hope this helps!

[@moshazza5684]

Hi how do you know when youve got right amount..emg if you were topping up. My cars done 46000 miles some leaked out from drive shaft sili im not sure how much i need ir shouodbi just charge the lot

[@gilberesrepairs]

Yes, i would drain the oil and replace it. The oil seals are not expensive, i think they are only £15 ish. A garage would probably charge up to 2hrs labour to fit a new seal. Then you know your new oil will stay in 👍

[@moshazza5684]

@@gilberesrepairs I am fairly competent d.i.y mechanic as I changed the control arms and shock myself. Is it not a case of it pushing into place and sliding over the lip edge on one side to create the seal? Or a specific tool is needed? Looks straightforward?

[@gilberesrepairs]

The oil seal just gets hooked out with a screwdriver and then the new one pressed in with a nylon mallet or with a big socket. Take a look at my C3 clutch video… kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHWrY5yOZd6Inbs Driveshaft removal at 8mins 10secs You can see the oil seal above my grease can at 37mins 10secs Hope this helps 👍

[@moshazza5684]

@@gilberesrepairs thanks yes saw it. The drive shaft is it simple slot in to place and the rubber seal seals it. Or does it lock into place by pushing or tapping it...I.e circlip type It popped out without me even realising until I saw the oil piss out lol. So I was messing with it trying to get it to lock/engage in place? But as soon as I tried to lower car police was leaking out.

[@gilberesrepairs]

@@moshazza5684 They normally just tap into place.

Que tipo de aceite le colocas ?

[@gilberesrepairs]

Hola, es aceite de engranajes 75w 80. Se utiliza en la caja de cambios manual. El aceite que usé se muestra a las 6:11 en el video. Gracias por el comentario y mira mis otros videos de Citroen C3. 👍

@@gilberesrepairs Good. It is the same as mine then.

[@gilberesrepairs]

@@johanhallgren 👍 Let us know how you get on 😉

[@donsswitchlite8178]

Cant you put a extractor pump through the breather and suck the gearbox oil out

[@gilberesrepairs]

Thanks for the enquiry 👍 I don’t think this would be possible, because of the internal workings of the gearbox obstructing the extractor pump pipe. Don’t forget to checkout my C3 playlist 😜

[@sedatdenizz]

Hello, Is this transmission automatic or manual?
