DS3 workshop manual help please.

Unread post by BarryP207 »

Hi guys,
Can somebody help me obtain a copy of the above manual if it exists. Can pay a reasonable cost. Really need some info on the puretech 1.2 EB2FA engine as it looks like i am going to have to do a rebuild over the winter.
Thanks

Baz.

Have a look here, can't vouch how good they are, but something is better than nothing.

Thanks buddy,
That 'online' version is crap! A con i think! Nothing but the blaringly obvious or not relevant/generic crap! The old paper workshop manuals were much, much better imho.
I have the paper one for the 208, but they switch to a completely different engine from the puretech in the rebuild section!
Thanks,
Baz.

Thanks for the review, I've been looking for one for my car and almost bought an online Haynes. Doesn't surprise me though, even the last printed ones were, if its broke take it ti a dealer/mechanic!

I believe I found a resource that might be exactly what you're looking for.

For the 2010-2014 Citroën DS3 (Gen 1, 1.2L), a full workshop manual appears to be available at this link:

Nxtmotorsnxtmotors.com/item/2010-2014-citroen-ds3-gen-1-1-2l-workshop-service-repair-manual

Double-check that the manual covers your specific model year and engine variant before purchasing or downloading.

I hope this helps you get your DS3 sorted out. Good luck with the repairs!
