Either way, the most common C3 Picasso issues are associated with the suspension, the gearbox, the carβs electrical systems, engine issues, and the brakes. Some of these issues are worse than others which means that they require mending as soon as possible. Otherwise, the repair costs can easily add up which will eventually retire the C3
Current Citroen Models. Citroen C3 Forum. C3 - Technical. C3 Picasso - Door Locking Chaos. Hi, I have owned my 2012 C3 for nearly two years. It has just developed a fault whereby every time I close the driver door, the central locking immediately locks the car up. This is regardless of whether I am just getting in, or completing a journey.Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do not open doors.). Switch on the side lights through the driver's window. Switch on the ignition and check system's functionality. Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds. Remove key open & close door test central locking system. Start the engine and complete the system's check.
1.1-Test the opening of the doors of the Citroen C3 with the key. A first test to be carried out is that of the central locking. To do this press the key of your car. Observe if the problem is central. That is, is there a single door stuck or several. If this is verified then it is likely that the problem is with the centralization.
Go round all the doors with a can of WD40 and the nozzle extension tube. Use it to attempt to disperse any moisture on the lock servos, gaining access either by removing access plugs in the doors (if there are any) or by lowering the windows. Then replace the fuse, cross your fingers and hope it works. Tags: locks technical issues central locking.
