Common Problems: CITROEN C3 PICASSO
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Engine bay fuse box (BSM) relay failure(Serious)
The under-bonnet engine fuse and relay box (BSM) suffers from moisture ingress and internal relay burnout. Faulty connections lead to intermittent stalling, loss of headlight or wiper operation, or sudden limp-home mode with antipollution warning messages.
- 1.6 HDi turbocharger oil starvation from gauze strainer blockage(Serious)
The 1.6-litre HDi 16V engine utilizes a miniature mesh filter inside the turbo oil feed pipe banjo bolt. Extended oil change intervals or degraded oil cause carbon deposits to clog this gauze strainer, starving the turbocharger bearings of lubrication and causing sudden bearing destruction.
