Hi Allan

The computer says no. The VIN is not valid.

Probably a typo

But the 8v diesel from 2004 has the MA type gearbox and the filler point is on the end of the gearbox.
MA 5 gearbox 8v diesel Citroen C3 filling point
MA 5 gearbox 8v diesel Citroen C3 filling point

29 is the fill and level, while 30 is the drain point.

Use the approved total Gear 8 oil (here) for the MA gearbox.

I know later C3s don't have a level/filler port, but I would have expected a 2004 to have it. My 2006 does not have a fill port, and so to fill it has to be first completely drained, then under the battery tray there is a breater port (covered by a little plastic/rubber cap) and the exact qauntity has to be filled into there.
