Do brakes pads and discs need replacing after 23000 miles on a C3 Citroen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They need replacing when they wear out. They could wear out at 23,000 miles if you drive hard with lots of stops or ride the brake with your foot. It is not normal for them to need replacing that quickly but it all depends on how you drive.

Why does your car sound like it is drinking antifreeze and disappear when you put it in but it is not leaking on the ground?

If losing anti freeze but not visible leaking typically means bad head gasket. Antifreeze is leaking into combustion cylinder and therefore evaporating and going out exhaust pipe as steam.

Why is your fan belt squealing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The accessories on the engine cause alot of torque to be placed on the belt. When you first start the car the device whos belt is loose wont be up to speed and the belt spins causing it to squeal. Same thing if you are at a stop sign and step on the gas to go. The engine speeds up but the devise has to catch up. This is usually a quick fix and one person can do it. Some cars have a belt tensioner built in and it only takes a few turns to fix it. Others require a little longer but I havnt found a hard one yet.

Will a 1994 mustang take a Lincoln mark viii v8 4.6 engine swap?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The 94 intake hits the firewall so as is the engine will not fit. However the intake from 97-98 Mark VIIIs are different and will fit in a mustang engine bay. All you have to do is swap a 97 or 98 Mark VIII intake onto your 94 long block and it will fit. Now there is one other problem and that is that the Mark VIII engine is a modular engine so you will need a front k-member from a 96-04 mustang so that the motor mounts on the k-member line up with the ones on the engine. Any k-member from a 96-04 mustang will work even if it is from a v6 mustang.

Will anything happen if you put too much antifreeze into the overflow?

The hot water (which expands, by the way) has no place to go, so either the cap will blow possibly causing steam burns, or it will drain out onto the ground creating a biohazard.
