unfortunately i don't think that is going to be an affordable option. i've tracked down possible engines from a breaker, but they are D4162T and TZJA codes from 2010 onwards. Do these fit a 2008?

thanks for that pau. i bought the car from here: http://www.arnoldclark.com/find-a-dealer-search/perth-citroen/ref/arnfa/ so is there a reason they wouldn't have given me a 12 month warranty, being a used citroen from a citroen dealer?

No warranty, got a hugely uninspiring 60day warranty with it and despite pressing for a year they wouldn't be shifted due to the car being more than 3 years old. I've got a local garage looking into sourcing me a secondhand or recon'd set up, as well as having stuck my requirements into 247parts, and see if I can get it going for less than the car actually cost me. What I don't get though is the total lack of warning lights or messages at ANY point before, during or after.

Hi folks, first post and all that... I got a 2008 c4 Picasso 1.6hdi in mid December last year. 86k on the clock, pretty extensive service history, great price at £4.7k or so I though..... It's now on 96k. Last week it decided to lose power to the engine. No smoke, no noise, no warning lights, nothing. It just refused to go beyond about 30mph with any gusto. Limped it the last 2 miles to work, then got it towed to local garage. Garage couldn't get diagnostic kit to speak to the car, and neither could their neighbouring garage. So off it got towed up to Arnold Clark, the dealer from whence it came. They have diagnosed "a collapsed turbo which has put debris through the engine" and are suggesting £4-5k to replace both. Am I missing something? Shouldn't there have been some kind of warning from the car? And is it likely to have done so much damage as to need the entire engine replaced?
