I think (but it's not 100% clear) that it's only for the listed models that are fitted with the TU engines.

That restriction is shown as applying to the Peugeot models. There is no such qualifier against the Citroen Models. I understood that the Dipstick on the BX was common to all models (maybe with the exception of the suitcase 1.4?)? :?

:idea: Tim might know the detail from his study of model differences?

Ive bought one from Citroen in the past albeit a few years ago, but couldnt give a definate answer chaps. I imagine the diesel and petrol would be different though as they are located in different places.
Lots of Motors, mostly semi broken....
