What are the differences between the new and old Citroën models?
1 Answers
The differences between the new and old Citroën models mainly lie in the exterior parts such as the dashboard, front and rear bumpers, hood, tailgate, and front fenders. Essentially, these are just the outer shells; the rest of the components remain the same. Turn on the ignition before starting the engine: Before starting the engine, turn on the ignition first—do not start the engine directly. When the ignition is turned on, the vehicle usually performs a self-check, during which all indicator lights will illuminate simultaneously. After the self-check is completed, the lights will turn off one by one. Once the entire process is finished, you can start the engine. This typically takes about 3 seconds. Regularly clean the dust in the engine compartment: After a period of use, the engine compartment tends to accumulate dust. It is essential for car owners to clean it regularly, as excessive dust can hinder the engine's normal heat dissipation. Severe heat dissipation issues may lead to oil leaks from the gaskets. However, since the engine compartment must never be washed with water, it is recommended to take the car to a repair shop where professionals can clean it using a high-pressure air gun. Precautions for cold starts: During a cold start, allow the engine to idle for about one and a half minutes to give it time to warm up. When starting, the engine's internal temperature has not yet reached the normal operating temperature—90 degrees on the coolant temperature gauge is considered normal. The car may shake, the engine noise might be louder, and the tachometer may read slightly higher—typically between 600 to 900 RPM. Starting under such conditions can lead to engine carbon buildup because combustion is incomplete at low temperatures.
