Hi njdudsbury, if you have access to the 2010 1.6 c3 hdi, I would look at the existing guides for the 1.4 16v and get a start from there, the engines are quite similar and the C3 doesn't change very much. Then take pictures and write a few words to describe what you have done and the guide is written, feel free to upload it here.

Oil change
Oil filter for the 1.4/1.6 https://citroenc3owners.com/tools-share-tips-on-special-or-useful-tools-requir-f14/oil-filter-removal-t8.html
(undo the sump nut and drain out the old oil first)
Information about the oil https://citroenc3owners.com/diesel-c3-ti ... 3-t51.html

Air filter change
on a 1.4 16v https://citroenc3owners.com/diesel-c3-ti ... i-t80.html from this you can hopefully get the idea of what is required.


Pollen filter change
Probably the easiest to tackle first. Compare the pictures to see how similar the pollen filter flap is to the 2010 to the 2002/2005. If they look similar, you are good to go.

No problem. If you have access to a digital camera, photos of the car engines and parts that are not already on the site are always welcome. Pictures of the air filter box, with its lid removed, or the pollen filter cover removed can all help others make a start on their own maintenance.

If you are looking for service parts, its worth looking at Euro Car Parts (click here) with their free delivery or collect from a store service if you have one local and need parts in a hurry.
