C4 Grand Picassio Trolly Jack points?

Unread post by CitROeNALD »

C4 Grand Picasso MkII (2018)

I was trying to work out the locations for a trolly jack lift, but I can't easily find information for locations other than the cills.

This thread seems to suggest that there are no approved locations on/under the chassis? Is this correct?

viewtopic.php?t=61151&start=15

Any info with images of any other locations for a trolly jack would be useful....if there are any,.

It will depend on why you are jacking. I always use the lower control arm rear mounting bolt and chassis at that point for the front, and the rear chassis rail for the back. I am not saying that is good or bad but it works for me. !! :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

I'm only jacking to change the remove the wheels and potentially change the pads.

Is this the location you are referring to?



In addition, can anyone confirm the correct pads for , 2018 C4 spacetourer 2018.

From my measurement the discs are the 280(ish)mm and it has the 16" wheels.

Different sites seem to give a lot of different numbers and codes or seem to suggests slight variations.

I want to use bosch ones so I think the correct ones are Bosch BP1690.

Appreciate any help!

I would provide your VIN to the dealer or where ever you are getting the parts from so they will be able to correctly identify the right parts.

You would think it would be that easy,

But all the dealers I have called have refuse to confirm part numbers, they just want to sell them.

I assume that jacking point in the video is the best place to use.

First time working on this car so being overly cautious.

Appreciate the replies.

You could try Citroen direct parts for prices and hopefully that will include the correct part numbers if you do not wish to buy ones from a Citroen dealer. https://citroendirectparts.co.uk/

I have a trolley jack but rarely use it, preferring to use the car supplied jack on the sill jacking points, leave it in place and use an axle stand under the suspension somewhere, often where the front arm joins the body or at the back on something similar. On trolley jacks I do not like the way the arm moves in an arc and if it can not easily move on its wheels can bend the sill jacking point. I also chock a wheel as well as use the hand brake/keep it in gear depending on front or back brakes being worked on.

I emailed them, and they sent me a link to the parts that would fit, which was the complete brake kit, and not just pads.

Needless to say, there is no information on that page about the kit.

If you look closely it includes the pad and disc Citroen part numbers near the top right
SKU: 1647873580 / 1647883280
if you search on these 2 numbers separately you will find many sellers. Autodoc gives the discs as 283 x 26 mm.

Last time I changed the front discs on the C5 I used the eurorepar discs as they were a lot cheaper than Citroen branded ones, whilst ok I think they did not perform as well as the original ones.

Ahh, yes! It only appears when you select in the drop down box, I see now. Silly me. Thank you.

I must say, having experienced a Eurorepar battery, which seemed to start struggling a few months from new, I am not convinced of their quality.

That brake pad sku code matches the ones I thought they were, which is good to know.

Unless anyone has any experience otherwise I might just go with OEM equivalent Bosch aftermarket.
