A 2CV also needs regular maintenance. Good maintenance ensures a lot of safe kilometers and reduces the chance that you will come to a standstill. In addition, you will get to know your 2CV well.
The maintenance of course depends on the kilometers driven and is divided into four schemes that you can download for free at the bottom of this page. If no maintenance history is known, I recommend that you run the most comprehensive schedule: maintenance schedule D:
