Just purchased A 2004 C5 2.0 16V with 30K on clock. I have only done about 100 Miles but fuel economy seems lower than i thought at about 28 MPG.
My drive to work of 15 miles each way is country roads and i hardly ever sit in traffic. I have so far used a very light foot and am not driving really hard. I have checked the air filter and it is a little dirty but nothing excessive. The lamba sensor prints from the MOT give a 1.009 i think so this looks okay. Car has not been properly serviced since 27/03/06 at 17,295 miles. I know garage fitted new rear brake pads before they sold it so they say. Oil looks fairly clean etc. Does it just need a good service. If so i may book into Voiture Technique Services in Warwick. A specialist Citroen small garage.
Otherwise the car drives and runs fine, no roughness i can see. A little rattle on acceleration from idle but i think one of the steel exhaust shield baffles maybe vibrating (a cheap fix)
A average fuel economy of any other C5 2.0 petrol would be nice.
My old Xsara 1.8 which had 101K on it did more than that. Strnage the quoted MPG are the same for both cars.
