Reconditioned Citroën C3 1.4 VTi EP3C Engine

This reconditioned engine for the Citroën C3 1.4 VTi corresponds to engine code EP3C, a 1397 cm³ petrol unit widely fitted to this model. The EP3C reference offered here allows a faulty block to be replaced with a reliable base unit, fully rebuilt in our workshop before dispatch.

Signs that your engine needs replacing

On a C3 fitted with the 1.4 VTi, several warning signs should prompt action before the problem worsens:

  • Engine warning light on persistently, even after a diagnostic check
  • Noticeable loss of power under acceleration, with the engine feeling breathless
  • Abnormally high oil consumption between services
  • Metallic noise or unusual knocking at idle
  • Blue or black smoke from the exhaust, particularly when cold
  • Repeated stalling or difficult starting with no identified electrical cause

Exchange basis: a reconditioned bare engine delivered to you first

This engine is sold as a bare unit; the exact details of what is supplied with the EP3C reference are set out in the quote prepared before your order. Reconditioning follows a rigorous process: complete strip-down of the block, cleaning and inspection of every component, replacement of internal wear parts as required, then reassembly to manufacturer tolerances and bench testing before sign-off.

Under this exchange arrangement, the old unit is not collected before delivery: the reconditioned engine is dispatched first, so your vehicle or workshop ramp is not left idle. The old unit — the intact block — is only collected after delivery and installation of the reconditioned engine; return of the old unit is required in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. A deposit is taken at the time of order and refunded once the reconditioned engine has been delivered, fitted, and the old unit returned and received.

Compatibility

This EP3C engine, with a capacity of 1397 cm³, corresponds to manufacturer reference EP3C and fits Citroën C3 models equipped with this 1.4 VTi petrol engine.

Warranty and payment

This rebuilt engine comes with a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over multiple instalments, in up to 10 instalments.

EDEN BOITES supports you from quote through to collection of the old unit.
