I agree, totally useless when they do work and for the little range you get, the trade off is as you say additional weight and loss of space. Statistics: Posted by Juan Sheet — Wed May 01, 2024 4:46 pm ..read more

Correct. They will be classed as a 'modification' and because of the front crumple zones impact system, so these may interfere with that operation and cause injury or become lethal in an accident. Your insurance company must be informed beforehand and get it it writing, or they may decline cover in the event of an accident. Most of the ones on that site are horrendous 'weapons' and are not made for the individual vehicle. I've seen several types and wouldn't touch them.

This is a tricky area when buying upgrade bulbs. You have to think of two aspects. 1) Lumen - this measures brightness 2) Kelvin - this measures colour A brighter white light, say 6000 kelvin will be a lot whiter than the standard bulb but NO brighter if the Lumen value is the same as the standard bulb. It's just the colour of the light that is different not how much better you can see. There is a limit on the development of halogen bulbs. If the Kelvin was about 6k and the Lumen value was about 3k it would be a lot brighter and whiter but the heat created by the filament would mean a serious ..read more

With such low mileage and a full Citroen service history, even if out of warranty this is an outrageous failure. Citroen should do the right thing and pick up all the cost. A replacement engine is going to cost about 5k. Statistics: Posted by Handy Andy — Wed May 01, 2024 2:06 pm ..read more

Most of the time is reconfiguring the system for the download. I also only download UK as I don't intend driving abroad. It also saves space on the system. Statistics: Posted by Handy Andy — Wed May 01, 2024 10:20 am ..read more

Is it just me who thinks Hybrids are pointless for anyone whose main driving is long distance. What little range is available must be cancelled out by burning more fuel lugging around the extra weight when it's flat. Statistics: Posted by Handy Andy — Wed May 01, 2024 10:16 am ..read more

The petrol 1.6 four cylinder is chain driven. This is the best engine Citroen produce. Its a shame that now it is only available as the Hybrid version. Statistics: Posted by Handy Andy — Wed May 01, 2024 10:11 am ..read more

Hi, most of the issues I am aware of on the 1.2 EB2 engines stem from the wet timing belt (belt in oil system) which can cause shredding of the belt material and clogging of the oil filter, leading to oil starvation, vacuum problems and ultimate failure of engine seizure due to oil starvation. I'm not aware of this issue. Is it an automatic? If so the only thing I can think of briefly is the oil / coolant exchanger where if these fail you can end up with transmission oil in the coolant. Hopefully Citroen will do the right thing, but if there is any further info do let us know. Statistics: Po ..read more
