Additional Notes

  • The Citroën C1 manual transaxle fluid capacity is 1.7 liters across all listed engine variants, covering the 1.0-liter CFA, 1.0-liter CFB, and 1.4 HDi 8HT configurations for the 2005-2014 period.
  • A capacity figure of 1.7 liters is consistent with a service fill level, meaning the amount of fluid required when topping up or refilling a unit that remains installed in the vehicle, rather than a full overhaul fill on a bench-rebuilt gearbox.
  • The service interval for all four configurations is a fluid check at 48 months or 60,000 km under normal use conditions, whichever comes first.
  • The interval is defined as a check rather than a mandatory drain and refill, which in transmission service terminology means verifying the fluid level and condition at the specified mileage or time threshold.
  • The normal use condition applies uniformly across the 1.0 CFA, 1.0 CFB, and 1.4 HDi 8HT variants, with no separate severe-use interval listed for any of the four configurations.
  • The 1.4 HDi 8HT diesel engine appears in two separate row entries, one covering 2005-2008 and another covering 2008-2014, yet both share identical capacity and interval specifications of 1.7 liters and a 48-month/60,000 km check.
  • The shared 1.7-liter capacity across both petrol and diesel variants indicates the same manual transaxle unit is used regardless of engine type in the Citroën C1 for the 2005-2014 model range.
