Have stop here for some time but will only now had time to make the introductions.
Please be gentle with me ,because I speak little english and I am using Google Translator...
My name is Paulo ( in english the equivalent is Paul ) and I am Portuguese.
I live in a wonderfull place
It seems the creator used the protractor here ...São Martinho do Porto
About this car I love so much :
This Citroen is delivered to my wife and was one of the best deals of my life.
Powerful, economical and reliable QB, just have given me joy today.
Zero mechanical breakdowns, today only replace a tube circuit air conditioning and a battery.
We call it affectionately as .... "our fridge" ...
... it is white, it's cold inside and when opening the door turns on the light. I do not intend to sell it and I see myself in 10 years to lead it.
It's a Citroen C3 1.4HDI 16V SX Pack , January 2003 and currently have about 78,000 KMs.
Some photos of the meteor:
The choice blank was the best option to cope with the summer heat ... Heats least strives less air conditioning.
Disadvantage: It gets more dirty ... but for that there is water for washing.
Sometimes,it rains a lot 
Mr. Motor »» »» »1.4HDI 16V
97 horsepower / 200 NM torque
Fuel: Diesel (and also burning biodiesel or vegetable oil)
10 years old , and do seem new
Here without lid valve covering . Note that the battery is enclosed in a dust guard.
The engine is extremely compact. There is not much room to fiddle around ...
When I finished the starting trial (up to 1500 KMs) figured consuming 3.6 liters \ 100 KMs on highway and 5 liter \ 100 KMs in town.
Currently in consumption is 6.5 liters \ 100 KMs in town.
I assume that the engine is ageing and clearances ... you may need to tune the injection pump and replace the nozzles.
The EGR valve access will be very difficult to predict, since she will meet with mounted partition for the passenger compartment. I intend to take it apart along with the pipe to perform their cleaning. Over the years it clogs and the engine will lack breath.
Still not notice anything like that ... but not spinning.
More pictures:
I wanted to enjoy taking a photo but the day was typical April
Here it started to rain and I had to shelter in the refrigerator.
Since the ancients said: "In April ... thousand waters ..." ( In portuguese it rimes - we loose the meaning on translation...
)As this vehicle was premiered by me from the beginning, that the water takes on the windscreen washer is distilled. Here there is no limestone or clogging. The hoses are new to tighten.
The distilled water will have her tassel because the dehumidifier produces about 200 liters of it per year.
I give it to the family and friends and I just had to send it down the drain ...
When I see unconscious people, in fuel stations implementing public water supply in cars ... just makes me want to cry and give them a spanking in the ass.
They are killing the automobile ...
I had to change a tube from the air conditioner when the 60,000 KMs. Was ruptured in welding.
It was a manufacturing defect was detected but out of warranty
And it's all for now.
Please do criticize and ask ...
An participated forum ... is a live forum.
