Re: Citroen c3 picasso
Just a quick rough edit of red pen which is an example of where the coolant is leaking

Re: Citroen c3 picasso
Not having had a C3 myself I can't place that part but if Jim brings Polly to lunch tomorrow I'll have a look and see if any light dawns!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: Citroen c3 picasso
Marc, along with your VIN, should be able to produce this Husky...
The thermostat housing may be a good place to start looking...
Mick and I will certainly have a close look at Polly tomorrow and see if she can help...

Re: Citroen c3 picasso
The oil cooler is bolted to the front of the block - it's under the oil filter and sort of behind the DPF. There is a set of gaskets that seal it to the block, and stop the water and oil mixing. Usually the oil ones let go, but water not impossible!

Re: Citroen c3 picasso
Hope you're very soon on the mend Husky, likewise the Picasso but wife is right, you need to rest
I'm always being told to rest by one of my Strava stalkers... My way of resting is not conventional...

Re: Citroen c3 picasso
Have read a post i think 2015 on here and the person said they replaced the oil coolant housing & all was back to normal , i hope this could be my problem with my car if it is then the fix should be ok,

Re: Citroen c3 picasso
Ive also found some owners have reported the heat sheild to the dpf can wear the oil cooler housing by rubbing on it and peirce a hole and cause leaks !

Careful Husky, she'll be locking you in your room if you don't behave yourself and rest!
