Owning a Citroen isn’t just about driving – it’s about embracing a piece of automotive history. At Chandler Motor Company, Bristol’s premier Citroen dealer, we understand the passion that comes with Citroen ownership. As a Citroen Classics Specialist, we’re here to share expert advice on maximizing your vehicle’s lifespan.
1. Adhere to Your Citroen’s Service Schedule
🛠️ Following your Citroen’s recommended service schedule isn’t just a suggestion – it’s essential to keeping your vehicle in peak condition. Regular servicing allows us to catch potential issues early, preventing minor problems from becoming major repairs. Our factory-trained technicians use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and genuine Citroen parts to ensure your car gets the best care possible.
2. Special Attention to Hydropneumatic Suspension
🔧 Pay special attention to unique features like the hydropneumatic suspension system. This innovation is at the heart of Citroen’s legendary comfort, but it requires specialized care. As a dedicated Citroen Classics Specialist, we ensure your suspension system remains as smooth as the day you first drove it.
3. Don’t Neglect Fluid Maintenance
🛢️ While regular oil changes are vital, don’t forget other fluids like coolant, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. These play crucial roles in your Citroen’s performance and longevity. We recommend a comprehensive fluid check during each service, and our team will advise on the optimal replacement intervals for your specific model.
4. Adopt Good Driving Habits
🚗 Driving habits significantly impact your Citroen’s lifespan. Avoid harsh accelerations and abrupt braking, and always allow your engine to warm up properly in colder months. These simple habits reduce wear and tear, potentially adding years to your vehicle’s life.
5. Drive Your Classic Citroen Regularly
🚙 For classic Citroen owners, regular use is key to maintaining your vehicle. Letting a classic sit for long periods can lead to deterioration of seals, gaskets, and other components. Aim to drive your vintage Citroen at least once a month to keep it in top shape. We also offer maintenance and restoration services to preserve your classic Citroen.
6. Consider Environmental Factors
🌍 Environmental factors such as salt air in coastal areas or stop-start driving in urban environments can impact your Citroen. Knowing these risks allows you to take preventive measures like more frequent undercarriage washes or adjusted service intervals.
