❄️ Winter Care Essentials
Cold temps can be brutal on your Citroën. Stay ahead with:
🧊 Battery check – Cold cranks are harder, especially with older batteries
🛞 Tyre inspection – Switch to winter tyres or check for grip wear
💡 Headlight health – Shorter days = more night driving
🚿 Salt rinse – Wash underside regularly to prevent corrosion
🌸 Spring Maintenance Musts
Time to refresh after a long winter:
🧼 Deep clean – Remove grime from paint and wheel wells
🧃 Fluid top-up – Check coolant, washer fluid, and brake levels
🛠️ Suspension check – Watch for pothole damage
🌼 AC system test – Ensure it’s working before the heatwave hits
☀️ Staying Cool in Summer
Hot weather affects more than just your comfort:
🌡️ Coolant inspection – Prevent overheating
🌀 Air con gas check – Recharge if airflow isn’t cold
🔆 Sunshade & screen wash – Protect the dash and keep vision clear
🛢️ Oil check – High heat stresses engine oil faster
🍂 Autumn Prep for a Smoother Ride
Slippery leaves, wet roads, and low light? Here’s what to do:
🍁 Wiper blades – Replace if they squeak or smear
🌧️ Tyre tread check – Grip is key for rainy days
🔋 Battery retest – Summer heat may have weakened it
🌫️ Fog lights – Ensure all bulbs are functional and bright
🔧 Why Routine Checks Matter All Year Round
Preventative care saves you time and money:
🗓️ Service intervals – Stick to annual or 12,000-mile services
🧠 Diagnostics – Early fault detection = cheaper repairs
🔍 Brake checks – Worn pads can damage discs fast
🛠️ Fluid & filter swaps – Boost efficiency and performance
