Well it depends what the £2800 bill relates to. As far as we know it may have been unrelated to the injector problem. You'll have to tell a longer story. As for not having any more Citroens, faults can happen to any make of car. We've been a four Citroen/Peugeot family for more than 22 years and we're all very happy with them.

Complete cylinder head rebuild due to a cambelt tensioner failure now two injectors go within 100 miles

[paul.h]

Injector failure on the C3 petrol is quite common - caused by water ingress through the windscreen washer jet holes in the bonnet and from the washer jet pipe connectors. This drips on the injectors causing corrosion of the coils. Prevention is to seal the bonnet and replace the plastic washer hose with a better sealing rubber one. The injector coil holes where the water enters can also be sealed. On our C3 (1.4 SX petrol), shortly after purchase, 2 injectors failed after heavy rain. Fortunately they were replaced under warranty since the car had only done a few hundred miles since we got it. From this forum I then found out how the failure is caused and then took the preventative measures and the car has been ok (now 5 years) and is always kept outside.

 

Now, whether the timing of the failure in your case is related to the cylinder head rebuild may be difficult to prove.

 

Out of interest to help save the rest of us a possible big bill, what caused the cambelt tensioner failure - high mileage/not being replaced when the belt was replaced/age/other ?
