Ricardo Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 :blink: I Bought my C3 HDI 70 Sx Pack 3 days ago in Portugal( with Security pack ) and today, when i parked the car, after a few minutes, the car just doesnt start ! No lights, no eletrical windows, no board, no Nothing! I called the Citroen assistance and they said it was better to wait ten minutes before making another attempt to start the car, so i did and it worked... :) Anyone knows why this has happened ? The car is 3 days old ! Ricardo Vaquinhas Quote
pork_pie Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Welcome to the party!!!!! The ECU resets itself but NO MODERN MOTOR CAR DOES THIS AND EVERY MODERN MOTORCAR HAS AN ECU. ECU = Engine control unit. The "brains" of the car. In the case of the C3, the unit is made from pig excreta. Quote
mooseshaver Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 "In the case of the C3, the unit is made from pig excreta" Actually I think the ECU is running some form of MS Windows. What we are all seeing when we get a loss of power or it doesn't start is really a General Protection Fault. Try pulling the door handle, turning the indicators on and tap the brake to reset it.

Ricardo Posted April 26, 2003 Author Posted April 26, 2003 I talked to the sales man who sold me the car and he said that the problem would be solved soon... he said that preety soon i would receive a letter to recall the car to be "upgraded". my former car was a Ford fiesta TDdi and i never had any problem of this kind in 3 years. :rolleyes: Quote
