Citroen C3 - Engine light with error P0013

Unread post by kubby »

Hi All,

My car model is petrol C3 (A51) 5 DOOR SALOON 1.6 VTi 16v 120. It's a 2011 model.

I am getting an error P0013 with the Engine light on.

I want to my take out and if required replace the Exhaust Variable timing Electrovalve (Exhaust Solenoid) to see if that fixes my issue.

Can anyone please guide me on the Torx size required to remove the "Self Tap screw"?

The nut/bolt looks like the attached picture.

My VIN # is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].

Thanks in advance.

You are best off buying a set of torx bits in 1/4" and/or 3/8" drive from ebay, Supercheap, Repco or Autobarn. Cost is about 15-20 AUD depending on the drive size and number of bits.
If you are going to start doing your own work the cost is cheap and the sizes of torx bits varies all over the car, they will come in handy.
If you look at it, the cost of a set of 8 bits is about the same as 3 individual bits.
If you insist on just knowing the size of that screw, someone here might tell you the size. Sorry, I cant.

You said exactly what I was thinking! I will buy a whole new set.

Thanks for showing me the light :P
