What about the C8 / 807 / Ulysses 2004-2006 snapped cambelt saga? Isn't it about time it came to an end? Aren't you tired of reading about jammed injectors and replacement engines and broken bank balances when all it wants is for someone to slip you the word beforehand that you do not have a car you have a nightmare uxb under your bonnet?

Hey! What a macabre club the 2.2 diesel C-eighters / Fiat Ulyssers and Perjo 8-0-seveners born between 2004 to 2006 find themselves enrolled to. Join us at camfag and help us find a way out! We had a similar problem when we were on the motorway on May 31 and our cam belt snapped at 68,000 miles, again, well before the recommended change. Our car has been regularly serviced by Citroen dealership. When we contacted Citroen UK, they said that they would only consider any payment towards repairs if we had it towed to a Citroen dealership, and no contamination showed on the broken belt. This of course was after they had taken the engine out at a huge Citroen dealership cost! The dealership were really helpful and said said the last time this happened, Citroen paid £2500 and the customer £4500. We are considering having ours repaired at an independent garage, with an engine out of a C8 write-off. We still don't know the overall cost of this. camfag
