  • Citroen Xantia (1993 - 2000) - 00 1.8 Intermittent Shuddering brakes problem! 17 Feb 2010 (Forum)
    Hi, I wonder if anyone might be able to offer me some advice. Despite having liked Citroens for quite some time (my favourite car as a child quite bizarrely being the XM), I have only recently ventured into the world of citroen ownership, with a 2000 Xantia 1.8 16v petrol in LX trim - I would have prefered a diesel but the petrol model that I came across and subsequently bought was a steal - and in fantastic condition.

  • Citroen C3 (2002 - 2009) - 03 1.4 16v ECU failure 13 Dec 2009 (Forum)
    BTW, no complaints with the main dealer service. Should I consider myself lucky that I got some concession from Citroen or would it be fair to say that the ecu (and the coil spring) were not fit for purpose as they are not designed to be replaced in such a short time? all opinions gratefully received. Ta.

  • 1.1 Citroen Saxo desire 03 - Advice needed on whether or not to purchase Saxo 30 Jan 2021 (Forum)
    ok so I'm currently looking into buying a cheap run around car and I've come across an 03 citroen saxo desire 1.1L for £325. The car looks in great shape and has been well looked after. The problem though is that it has no MOT and hasn't done since November 2020. Now I've been in touch with the seller he has told me there are 3 problems with the car. 1. he has replaced the wiper motor as it wasn't working but says there must be another problem because the wipers will not run if there's any resistance. 2. he says that the rear left hand brake isn't engaging as well as it should. doesn't know why but says he can feel it. 3. there's a loose bolt connecting the drivers seat to the floor and he says it's possible the floor could be cracked but doesn't know.
  • Citroen Xsara Picasso - Front suspension on 2006 1.6 hdi 30 Jan 2019 (Forum)
      So after contacting them about there article and getting nowhere I want to ask if anyone in the forum has any idea where I can obtain these items, Citroen Customer Care did not know about this problem of springs failing and did not know of any device to combat this problem, there must be hundreds if not more that this has happened to.  So your forum is my last bet, hopefully someone must have heard of these or know where I can obtain them, they are just a cup that goes around the strut held together with 10 mm bolts.

  • Citroen C2 - A temporary fix needed to keep a damn car going 8 Oct 2012 (Forum)
     Also, it obviously loses quite a bit of water and if I don't top it up often the temp warning light comes on. (For some reason Citroen don't have a temp gauge on these models, just a warning light.) In order to chuck it in as a part-ex or through Suresell, do any of you lot know of a way to temporarily fix this, for example by pouring some kind of gunk into the coolant?
