It might be that the temperature sensor is playing up.  A few years ago I had a Xsara which had the same fault.   £8 on a new sensor cured it.

Have a look at this post and the one linked to it for some info. If you have the 1.4  75 hp petrol engine there are 2 temp sensors and one of the linked posts has photos showing the locations. http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/22559-p0118-code-on-citroen-c3-2005-14-petrol/

problem solved went to main dealers a bought a water heat sensor cost 8 times more than the one i got of ebay so looks like it dose not like aftermarket stuff. ebay £4.00 citroen dealer £32.00 inc rubber ring. at least Dick Turpin had a mask

I have read before that sometimes copy sensors not from main dealers may not work correctly with air flow sensors being an example.

 

I have edited the topic title a bit to help when searching.
