Should the antifreeze in my Citroen be changed every three or four years?
There does not seem to be a specific reference in the service schedule to changing the antifreeze in my 2006 Citroen 1.6-litre 16v. It is always checked at the service for concentration but does this take account of the anti-corrosion content? Should it be changed every three or four years depending on its type?

No. The corrosion inhibitors degrade over time. With some of the new antifreeze compounds this can be a very long time. Take advice from your Citroen dealer.
