tinxi Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 is anyone having the same problem ? The noise is coming from the front end but me nor my partner can decide which side it is. It sounds as if two piece of metal are banging together. It gets extremly loud when you go over speed bumps or dips in the road. I have asked citroen if my car is one affected by the spring recall and they say it dosn't affect my car i have an 03 c3 lx. It has just passed its mot no problem didnt need anything doing so im confused any help would be greatfully recieved. Quote

Guest CE05LDB Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 When the dealer done my spring The Service Manager said its a common fault on the older ones but funny on the newer ones but it was the same fault as on the older ones. Quote
stimulator Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Broken springs is not an uncommon fault. Mine went on my 54 reg car. The dealers know about this and any that say otherwise are not being honest up front. there was a recall to fit retention cups that stop the broken part of the spring puncturing the tyre. True that recall only covered a certain VIN range. according to citroen my car was outsdie the VIN range but it still broke a spring. The result both changed without quibble. Quote
