Hi, My dad bought an almost new C8 from Citroen in October, and since the beginning of this year we have had no end of problems! We were aware of the common electrical problems prone to Citroes (as well as the Puegeot and Fiat) but we have had 2 Fiat Ulysse over the past 6 years and not had a single problem. Anyway, we first had an "airbag fault" warning displaying, but were told this warning was wrong, the airbags were fine. They fixed this, but it came back. Then in Easter teh electrics totally failed (windows, elec sliding doors, temperature display and more) so it went to the garage, and they tried various things to fix it. To cut a long story short, it has been to and from the garage at least once a fortnight, and they don't know what's wrong with it/what to do, they've even replaced the whole main brain of the car. I saw this post the other week, and thought it terrible. Then today, after a day of driving with my dad, we got back into the car but it filled with white smoke, and we thought it was on fire. Luckily we were next to a car garage and they had extinguisures, but before they had chance to use them it stopped. I thought this problem sounded familiar, and remembered this topic! After reading again, in the diagram provided by "Moi", that is the exact place I thought the smoke was coming from. Was there ever a solution to this? We love the car, but are so pissed with the continual problems, help!
