Gearboc

Unread post by Pyres »

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some help to identify the exact gearbox code for my Citroën C3.

Here are the details of my car:
- Model: Citroën C3
- Engine: 1.4 HDi (motor code F8HX / 8HX)
- Year: December 2004
- VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

If anyone has access to Citroën's ServiceBox or a similar official parts database, I would greatly appreciate it if you could check which gearbox code (for example, 20CQxx / 20CPxx / 20CNxx) corresponds to this VIN.

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Normally the forum has access but we have an issue at the moment which has denied our access. However there are members with their own access and hopefully one of them will see your post and help you out. You will have to send them your VIN in a private message once someone has replied as it can only be read by forum staff as it is. :)

Ebay seems to think it's a 222RC box.

Beware, servicebox indicates that there are 2 applicable boxes with different ratios, but I don't have access to lookup by VIN.

Hmm, that link now gives a different result! 20CP80 comes up a few times.
