A Citroën C4 Grand Picasso owner cannot measure the timing belt condition because the official PSA/Stellantis measurement tool does not fit through the plastic grid covering the oil filler hole.
The official manufacturer tool is incompatible with the vehicle's design (plastic grid blocks access), and the owner is unwilling to damage the grid to avoid debris contamination.
