Once again my c3 is spending another day in the garage :( Last month it had the knock senor replaced the turbo presure sensor replaced .Last week it had the fusebox replaced and guess what the engine mangement lights on again This on top of so far this year new rear windscreen ,gearbox selector, new front discs and in 2 and half years of owner ship a total of 14 visits for other odd problems realy shocking build of my c3. Citroen = lemon and i got sold one And with no replys from citroen uk about my problems customer care more like dont care :lol:

Odd problem again the engine light coming on for no apartent reason .Car bleeps drive around then hey presto goes out ,maybe more electrical gremlings again :) I hope i stop geting these problems the waranty runs out next feb :D Wouldnt want to be taking it into the garage for little probs at £50 an hour :(

Once again the c3 gets a good kicking.I can agree that it has poor build and reliabilty but performance is good from my 1.4 16v hdi .Comfort and practicality gets knocked as well .I disagree with this as well i think for a small car you can get alot into it and the seats are ok .The handerling got 93rd place as well again i would disagree the c3 ok its no sports car but ive yet to get it going out of shape when going round the twisty stuff and having driven a corsa in the past alot better round townAlso acording to this 1 in 3 would not buy another one ,would i? erm no maybe a c4 next time :P

I complained to citroen uk this was there reply I am sorry to learn of your concern regarding the brakes and gearbox on your vehicle. As you may appreciate, brakes will wear progressively during the vehicle’s serviceable life and may eventually require replacement. The rate of wear will depend upon many factors but mainly the conditions of use and driving style will determine this. Citroën UK relies upon its dealers to identify the reason for failure and, if they can identify a manufacturing or material defect, the repair will be attended to under the terms of your warranty. If, however, no material defect is evident and wear is the result of driving conditions, as the owner of the vehicle, you would be responsible for any costs involved. Should your dealer consider Citroën UK has a responsibility, I am sure they will be pleased to represent your interests by contacting our Guarantee Department on your behalf Not much good mind you i found a very good aproved dealer in bedford.He sust out the gearbox problems in minutes.Faulty selector bracket

All you have to do is press the right button on the speedo pod while the ignition is switched off then turn the ignition key up one knotch till the battery light comes on there will be a count down on the dash wait til it goes to 0 turn off and then start the car it should go back to 20000 or 12500 depends on if its petrol or derv

After my shock at the dealers with my c3 last week where 1 worn out frount disc after 22000 2 unable to fix rear demister 3 unable to find rattle in b pillar 4 unable to sort out gearbox probs I decided to email citroen uk and guess what no reply customer service for you CRAP!!! They are in a hurry to take your money but in no mood to help out when you have problems just waiting for something else to go wrong now i can now see why citroens customer care always rates so low when compared to everyone else :D

Good to see they have changed the door handles the silver has gone off mine cheep crap gearsticks gone as well which has to be an improvement (that was cheep and nasty as well)

Its a1.4hdi 16v sx It gets tough to get into gear i drove a 1.1lx yesterday and found that the gearbox very light on that get back into my car and find it very stiff in comparisment

nomanual and after asking for it to be looked at at the dealer a real surprise can't find anything wrong :D also they could't test rear windscreen as demister faulty and told me to take it to autoglass so after coughing up for a service and new brakes i was't happy

Took my car in for a service only to find that my frount discs are warn out What do citroen make them out of plastic? Complete joke plus £200 for parts and labour surely they should last longer than this :D

Having probs with gear change again had to go to cheltenham on sunday and found the gear change was bloody awfull could be the linkage but not sure any ideas? 1.4 16v sx 2004 :D

I forgot to add yes i do get a free car for the day so all round pleased and cheep :D

Just booked my hdi1.4 16v in for a service .My main dealer in bedford shut down in 2005 so i was forced to look around phoned a number of main dealers and was shocked at the price difference between them . One garage said 2nd service £250 which sems steep considering they only change yhe oil and a couple of filtters .Rung inderpendant approved so not to cause probs with the warranty and was quoted £132 which is much more like it . There seems to be a number of these type of aproved dealers springing up which can only be good news for us citroen dealers
