Re: Extended warranty

How many miles has it done? My C3 had a limit of 64000 mile on the original belt. If yours is getting near that mileage, say 50,000 miles, it may be a better option to heve the belt changed before there is an issue. Mine was done under Citroen warranty, but I had 2 quotes from Citroen main dealers, ...

Re: C5 Air cross 1.2 Puretech Timing Belt change

I had this on my C3. I did get a couple of low oil warnings, then I had 3 low oil pressure and stop warnings and the car going into limp mode. These happened 2 days before it was due to have the belt changed. If you are starting to get warnings, then there may already be bits of belt in the oil pick...

Re: Red engine warning! Belt destruction common fault

I am surprised that no documentation has been provided. It might be difficult to provie documentation to a potential purchaser if the only documentation is on the Citroen computer system. I had this issue in December and had it dealt with by a Citroen dealer fully paid under warranty, and I was prov...

Re: 1.5 BlueHDi engine timing chain information.

I had the issue with the wet belt on my C3 (may be a post above on it) after 63,000 miles with a replacement requirement at 64,000 miles. The car has been Citroen serviced on time and mileage, and I have maintained the Citroen warranty. No problem at all. I had already booked the car for a new belt ...

Whatever happened to Duckhams 20W50?
My mother-in-law died in November. We are clearing out her shed, and we found a half-full container of Duckhams. My father-in law died in 2015, and I wonderhow long it had been in there.

Cambelt problem.

This is concerning a 2019 C3 with the 1.2 110bhp belt in oil engine. As this is almost identical to the Aircross engines I thought this could be of interest here. I have had the car from new, and it has always been serviced on time by a main dealer. I made sure that I knew when the cam belt needed t...
