Where is the transmission oil filler port located on the Citroen C-Quatre?
3 Answers
The location of the transmission oil filler port on the Citroen C-Quatre is not uniform and there are two possible scenarios: on the side of the transmission; or by removing the reverse gear switch, where the reverse gear switch is located. If you need to add transmission oil to the Citroen C-Quatre, here are the methods: 1. Manual transmission models: There are two bolts on the transmission housing, one at the top and one at the bottom. To add transmission oil, unscrew the top bolt. Before adding oil, you need to drain the old transmission oil by unscrewing the bottom bolt. 2. Automatic transmission models: There are two bolts on the transmission pan, a larger one for draining the oil and a smaller one for adding oil.
I've been driving a Citroen C-Quatre for years and remember the transmission fluid filler port clearly. It's located under the engine compartment, lower left side of the transmission, usually covered by a small screw cap that requires a wrench to open. The first DIY attempt was tricky as I had to remove some heat shields, but it became easier with practice. The key is parking on level ground, starting the engine in P gear at idle, and waiting until fluid reaches operating temperature (oil should weep from the inspection hole). Under/overfilling causes rough shifting – I learned this the hard way with a $100+ repair bill. Recommend changing fluid every 60,000km and routinely checking for discoloration – it makes driving noticeably smoother.
The transmission oil filler port is located on the left side of the Citroen C-Quatre's transmission, specifically in the lower part of the engine compartment on the driver's side, where there's usually a plastic plug. I recommend owners to proceed with caution, as this area is hard to reach and accidentally dropping something could cause oil to spill everywhere. Personally, I think if you're not very familiar with mechanics, it's safer to let professionals at a repair shop handle it. Transmission issues are no small matter—leaks can lead to expensive repairs and inconvenience. For regular maintenance, it's best to check the oil quality as well to ensure proper lubrication and prolong the vehicle's lifespan. In short, safety first—don't mess around.
