🔋 Why Won’t My Citroën Start?
If your Citroën refuses to start, possible reasons include:
Weak or dead battery – Look for dim dashboard lights as a clue.
Faulty starter motor – If you hear clicking but no engine turnover, this could be the issue.
Fuel system problems – Low fuel pressure or a clogged fuel filter can prevent ignition.

🚦 What Should I Do If a Warning Light Appears?
Citroën dashboard warning lights indicate potential problems. Here’s what some common ones mean:

🟡 Yellow/amber lights – Caution; service required soon (e.g., check engine, traction control).
🔵 Blue/green lights – Informational; typically normal operation.
💡 Quick Tip: If in doubt, refer to your owner’s manual or contact us for expert advice.

Using the right oil is crucial for engine health and efficiency.
Petrol engines: Typically 5W-30 or 0W-30 fully synthetic oil.
