Faults:

No problems up to now, but I have heard of some problems with the poorly designed clutch cable clip. Maybe someone ought to invent a metal conversion so this fault can be rectified!

The air conditioning needs regassing, but that can happen to any car.

General Comments:

I'm very pleased so far, it starts at the turn of the key and has been OK up to now, it's probably too early to tell what it will be like a couple of years down the road.

It handles well enough so long as you're not Michael Schumacher.

I think the styling is OK the interior on my car is very nice, the back end is a bit bland, maybe a spoiler would make it look a little more interesting.

Having read some of the reports on this site from other owners, it seems as though older cars suffer more with faults, I suspect this is down to age and lack of some servicing.

Faults:

Clutch clip snapped at 100,000 miles. One hours labour and cost about £40.

Overheating engine, I replaced the radiator at 120,000 miles.

Usual remote radio control problems:- The volume buttons sometimes change station settings.

The suspension has got very shuddery at 130,000 miles. I suspect our Irish roads. It may be the spheres need replacing.

General Comments:

An absolute joy to own. It has let me down once or twice but I wouldn't hold that against the car.

I got this car in London from an auction, and drove it back to Dublin. The roadholding is superb and I found myself unaware I was speeding.

I got 45,000 miles out of Continental ContiEco tyres, as recommended by Citroen, and for my first 20,000 miles, I got up to 50 miles per gallon at motorway speeds.

I have problems with the suspension now but I believe that a change of spheres will sort that out.

Faults:

Too early to say.

However the drivers side door has been welded at some stage apparently a common fault.

There's no service history, but the numbers on the clock are all in line.

There's some kind of oil leak from the sump / gearbox - could be the drive shaft oil seals or could be hydraulic fluid leaking from the tank.

Not as economical as expected, only does 30 mpg around town & 35 on a run.

Rear suspension sticks when inflated then returned back to normal height, cured when totally deflated & returned back to normal height.

Seems to burn oil, perhaps due to lack of servicing.

Goes like a rocket when driven hard, the turbo only kicks in at approx 2700 RPM.

The car's comfortable enough, however avoid the A/C version, the air-con works fine, however this drinks the diesel. I have not used this yet, but have heard this from 1 or 2 people.

General Comments:

Overall not a bad car for its size & weight.

I plan to tow a caravan, the tow weight is approx 1250-1300 Kgs, 50 - 100 Kgs over the limit.

3 diagonal lap belts is a very clever design.

Parts are cheap, however the dealers are pricey. Suggest people use a Citroen specialist rather than expensive dealers for repairs on cars 4 years +. It cost me £60.00 for a belt change, that's using a genuine Citroen belt.

Providing that nothing serious occurs & that I can sort the fuel consumption problem, I intend to keeping the car for 2/3 years.
