[SOLVED] Looking for info from someone who owns a Citroen with a service book circa. late 2009-12

Hi all,

I've decided to keep the 3L C5 X7 that I bought a month ago without service history. I was wondering if anyone that owns any Citroen from late 2009 to maybe 2012 could share some pages from their service stamp book. I'm specifically looking for all pages that list official mileage intervals for fluids, belts and whatever else. Unfortunately, the service book for my 2L misses the crossover point between the 2.7L and 3L HDI so I only have the info for the 2.7 (images below for anyone that might need them) and the blank book I bought is one of the new ones with no useful info in it. I know it's actually a Ford engine and that loads of JLRs use it, so I'm yet to look for their info (as per wurlycorner's advice). But I'm kind of OCD about it and want the PSA numbers. Funnily enough, both of us are in the same boat of having bought slightly dodgy 3Ls with no service history and could both use the info. LOL

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

If you post your VIN admin might have somewhere from where they can provide the service schedule. Otherwise you could visit a Citroen dealer and get them to print it out. This will also include the latest oil spec.

I assumed Marc was the only one with access to the system, good to know that's not the case.

As for asking a main dealer, good joke. I wouldn't trust a main dealer to breathe without being specifically instructed and closely supervised.

Your main dealer does not sound good if you do not trust them, ours seems ok and we have been using them for 9 years. Probably not best though to name/shame them on this forum, the rules might not allow it. Ours printed out an up to date service schedule for our 308 when I asked which included the latest oil spec which had changed early last year.

I made a post here almost two years ago that chronicled the misery of main dealers and officially authorised places I've been through. I'd sooner gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon than go anywhere near one ever again. I use the Chevronic Centre religiously now, they've been exemplary. Funnily enough, I might be able to ask them for a schedule at some point.

Went for a walk during lunch, turns out there was a main dealer near my workplace that I've walked past before that I just forgot about. Figured it couldn't hurt to see if they can indeed provided the info. Took them a couple of attempts to find the car in the system, but ultimately they managed. Looks like the service schedule is more or less that of the 2.7, except the timing belt is rated at 160K miles under normal conditions. That to me is unhinged considering I had my 2L done at about 85K (official rating being 95K). I definitely wouldn't leave the 3L to 160K that seems way too high.

FWIW this is the service schedule Land Rover specify for the same engines (2.7 and 3.0 lion v6)

The engine is in a slightly higher tune and you might ‘expect’ the engine to be worked harder in that vehicle, but the service intervals are much reduced. 112k for the timing belts on the 3.0…

I went looking for the JLR info but only really got generic servicing info for Range Rovers or speculation from non-owners. Most of the replies were along the lines of "log into your JLR service portal thing" which obviously doesn't apply here. Guess I wasn't looking in the right places.
