🔍 Why Regular Maintenance is Essential for Classic Citroëns
Owning a classic Citroën is a privilege, but it requires commitment to keep it in top condition. Regular maintenance ensures:
- Preservation of vintage components, extending your vehicle’s lifespan.
- Enhanced safety and performance on the road.
- Protection of your investment, increasing its value over time.
At Chandler Motor Company, your trusted Citroen Bristol dealer, we specialize in the care of classic Citroëns, ensuring they stay as iconic as the day they were built.
🛢️ Fluid Checks and Replacements
Fluids are vital to keeping your vintage Citroën running smoothly. Focus on:
- Engine Oil: Use period-correct lubricants for optimal performance.
- Coolant: Check and replace to prevent overheating, especially in older engines.
- Brake Fluid: Essential for reliable braking in classic systems.
- Hydraulic Fluid: A must for Citroëns with hydropneumatic suspension systems.
💡 Pro Tip: Regular fluid top-ups and replacements are crucial for older vehicles to avoid corrosion and internal damage.
🔧 Caring for the Hydropneumatic Suspension
The hydropneumatic suspension system is a hallmark of Citroën engineering. Proper care includes:
- Inspecting suspension spheres every 5-6 years for leaks or wear.
- Ensuring ride height adjustments are functioning correctly.
- Regularly checking hydraulic fluid levels for smooth operation.
Our team at Chandler Motor Company is experienced in maintaining and repairing these unique systems to keep your classic Citroën’s ride as smooth as ever.
