section of a letter send to my dealer Wingrove Newcastle 4th jan 2006

The car c8 exclusive 7 seats with all the extras bar leather (3 roofs, sat nav, tint windows etc)

car is thirteen months old. Best people carrier in the world when it works.

I will list all the faulty parts I am aware of that have been repaired, replaced or swapped with other cars on your forecourt.



Fuel Cap R Fuel level reset F Heater Fan burnt out R

Heater resistor R Front storage lid R 5 Seat belts R

Front wings loose F Head light bulb Rx3 Rear door runners Fx5

R/D runners R Tire pressure Sensor R Roof Bars R

F Sun roof Fx3 F Sun roof R R Sun roofs Fx5

R sun Sensors Rx2 Head Cloth Fx2 Head Cloth R

Front Seat covers both R Seat Electrics Fx3 Seat Electrics R

Door handle crack Rx2 Esp. Fault Fx3 Fuse Box R

Head unit cpu Rx3 Cpu re prog Rx6 Heater elec Burnout Rx3

Head unit cover R Arial R Nav Re prog Fx3

Oil sensor F Engine tap noise R Buttons head control R

Windscreen R Seat elect rewire F Cig lighters Fx3

Auto mirrors LOST Auto windows LOST Nav disk poor condition

Alarm Fx3 Door trims R Scratches to paint Fx3

Interior cleaned Fx2 Mats R Dip stick Fx1 R



R = REPLACED F = FIXED x No NUMBER OF TIMES



RAC have attended road side twice, towed car once. Cars electrics have totally shut down at speed over 50 mph and approaching junctions twice more. Recently power steering shuts down at low revs this has happened four times over last two months. Due to current ice road conditions we have little confidence in the car for school runs on icy mornings.







Work pending



Heater mixer R Belt tension wheel R Rear door motor R

Exhaust Earth lead R Loss of power steering ??



Work to report



Rear Seat Wear Roof Bars



Please feel free to add and delete items, I am no mechanic but it’s a canny list



All this work was carried out over a period of greater than 140 days in your work shop, when you provided a lower grade courtesy car.

Not sure about the codes, but got the gist of it, and doubt our list would be much shorter. If you've still got it and are about, what was the problem with the headlights, which I presume will have been the Xenons? Ours flicker, flash, blink, wink.....they have a mind of their own, at times we do an impression of a police vehicle on emergency call with alterntate flashing!!!!! The dealer recently replaced the 'BSI', (main brain?), thought it would cure the problem amongst others, but if anything it is now worse. Its back into them next week, and the are going to be scratching their heads with the usual lack of support and ideas from Citroen UK, who don't seem to think anyone, customer or dealer, should pick fault with their vehicles!!!! Any suggestions on the lights gratefully accepted!!!
