Pluriel, With A Different Gearbox?

If you need help with your C3 Pluriel, that seems specific to the Pluriel (like the roof), ask here. Engine and Transmission problem must be asked in the relevant topic for the problem. The Pluriel shares the same Engine, Gearbox, Brakes and Transmission as the other C3 models (see above for the correct section).

Questions about the Pluriel Roof system can be asked here
No engine, gearbox or running gear questions
Think: Pluriel roof and rear window jobs
Did you know the Pluriel shares the engines, gearboxes, electrical, audio system, suspension, steering and running gear with the early C3?

No and er no, but only because there is not one to change ;)

There is no filter in the semiauto gearbox or the manual gearbox on the C3. But as was mentioned earlier checking the condition of the oil is useful so take some pictures before you take the oil to the disposal site :)

It will be there somewhere. Is yours semi auto or manual?

You can often find the Citroen C3 Battery cover plastics (HERE) on Ebay.

Same goes for the air box there are several types depending on fuel but there are a few to choose from.
