Rough Idle

[stephenhoughton]

Hello

my 2.0 hdi c8 has a rough idle problem

I took it to citroen garage as i bought it under the citroen approved scheme. It is a 2007 model

The garage did a test and said it runs rough, ok thats why i brought it in so at least we both agree on that

Citroen wanted a compression test

The garage then wanted to remove the injectors to do a compression test

The injectors will not come out.

The garage is taking the engine out to try and remove the injectors.

If the injectors will not come out, we may be looking at a new engine.

This will be if citroen agree

The garage will be trying to get the injectors out until Friday 30/9, then they will contact citroen, not buy phone but using a standsrd form detailing the problems and sending it vis e-mail

Citroen will respond - sometime

The garage is not allowed to ring citroen direct.

All this could take up to 1 month for citroen to approve, then god knows how long to source and fir a new engine.

So i will be without a car for about 6-8 weeks, the citroen dealer i have taken the car to doe snot have a car that i can use, while the work is being not done or done.

Does anybody have any idea how to get injectors out of the engine

To complete the story.

None of the 4 injectors would come out. After 17 days trying ( they had the car for 17 days ) the garage gave up.

I kept pestering them and asked for Citroen uk number. The local citroen garage were blaming citroen uk for the delay saying they were being told to keep trying to remove the injectors.

After contacting citroen uk and complaining, they told me that they would contact the garage and get things moving.

The next day the local garage rang me before 09:00 to tell me that a new engine would be fitted to my car.

Citroen uk rang at 10:30 to tell me that i would be given a courtesy car, mpv size, free of charge for the duration of the work.

I am very happy with the way my problem has been resolved.

Just glad i bought the car under the Citroen approved scheme.

Have a look on the C5 forum, this problem (stuck injectors) has been recently (few months ago) posted by Coastline taxis. A search shows the post to be on the Problems and Fixes pages, last post April 25th 2011.
