Changing the silencer on a Citroën C1

Necessary tools:

sanding cloth

high temperature grease

multi-grip pliers

12 flat key

The collar is located under the car near the right rear wheel

use a flat wrench to remove the screw

here is the collar and the screw disassembled

slide the rubbers off their mounts leaving them on the exhaust muffler

use multi-grip pliers if necessary

on the images left side next step right side

the right side rubber is removed

hold the silencer to prevent it from falling suddenly

The silencer is only held in place by the exhaust pipe fitting

In this step you will have to pull the silencer by exerting a slight rotation movement in order to separate the silencer from the exhaust pipe.

Here is the old silencer dismantled

nothing too complicated, you just have to slide the rubber and put it back on the new silencer in the same location on the right side at this stage

left side on this step

use a pair of pliers to remove the rubber if necessary

put a little high temperature grease inside the muffler pipe this will make it easier to insert the muffler into the exhaust pipe and above all easier to disassemble next time

Yes, we think of our friend;)

Use a sanding cloth around the part that will be inserted into the silencer (see 2nd image, part circled in red)

Insert the silencer pipe into the exhaust pipe see photo 2

insert the rubbers into the supports provided for this purpose on the right side first then on the left side

Bring the "beads" of the silencer and the exhaust pipe as close as possible (see photo 1)

grease the collar nut to facilitate assembly and disassembly see photo 2

place the collar on the close “beads” and tighten the screw see photo 3

Here is the silencer in place, all that remains is to start the car ;)
