Citroen Evasion: The Maintenance

Gasoline powered and diesel engines' cam-shaft Citroen Evasion boasts of is set in motion by cogged belt that should be replaced every 60-80 thousand km. Experts advice to examine and if needed to replace water pump in gasoline powered engines. This power plant life makes up somewhere about 160 km if quality antifreeze is used. What concerns diesel engines, they need to have valves and expansion gaps adjusted and injectors cleaned and adjusted once every 80 000 km.

The location of vacuum brake booster that is placed on the cylinder head is the constructional peculiarity of diesel engines Evasion is provided with. The booster is "nourished" with a lubricant through an oil gallery. If you don't use quality oil this gallery will gum up and the pump won't function normally leading to brakes troubles.

Manual gearbox is maintenance-free, the inside-oil should be enough for the whole service life and the only thing one has to do is to assure that differential axles' gaskets are sealed. The service fluid must be changed every 60 000 km when it comes to automatic transmission. The dust caps of constant-velocity universal ball joints should be watched over very carefully because their breakage leads to balance weight failure and it can be replaced in assembly with differential axle only and which costs quite a lot.
