01 3.0l V6 Servicing advice - Pugugly
I am on a tight budget but my Citroen C5 (2001) V6 3.0 Litre (I think) is in desperate need of service and some repair. I have not had it serviced for at least 15,000 miles and the baffles are gone in the exhaust. It also needs new tyres all round. It sailed through the MOT in January of this year and I want to keep it until the end of this year so need to give it some TLC. The on-board computer displays weird messages and clearly needs fixing or re-booting or something.
Can you please suggest a private individual in the Stratford Upon Avon area (because I will not be able to afford the many hundreds of pounds that a dealership will charge) who would be able to do all of what my car needs and be able to do it while I am away for a week from the 22nd of this month?

I really would appreciate any help or suggestions you might have - thank you.

This might help. They have menu servicing for a C4 and they do an MOT at the same time for less than the real cost of £45. Have a look at

Citroen C4 2001 3.0 V6 ? Surely that can't exist ? C4 wasn't introduced until 2004, and i have never heard of one with a 3.0L V6 !

C5 maybe? I know they did a V6 Xantia, did they stick one ( inexplicably ) into the C5 too?

I've e-mailed the "OP" to ask.

Edit: According to Wiki they did do a 2.9 litre V6 from launch in the C5.

Why not join the C5 group on yahoogroups.com? It's a very active forum and someone usually knows the answer to any problem.

not the sort of car for budget motoring, imho.
Why not get the manual and get spannering?
