Hello, short to me: I am 20 years young, Azubi and need a car now! Distance would be short distances and from time to time vacation/road trips and then when vocational school is 60km a day. I would like to buy a C2 VTS, as my mother drives the C2 1.4 and I like the car quite much, but a little more performance. However, the offers are limited. Within a radius of 100km there is currently only one vehicle:https://www.autoscout24.de/…/…b566-cbcc-476f-9aad-762e9799a3ad?… Have this sc He has TÜV up to 5/2021, is well cared for inside and drives very well, but there are also a few defects: – down strongly rusted, especially the exhaust pot (if reperatur, 210€?) – damaged with both sun visors folding mechanism (70€) – new winter tires (200€) – timing belts have never been changed. Stands up now. (300€?) – air conditioning might need service (100€) Is a purchase worth it despite all the costs still outstanding? If the price can be traded down? (Would you say 2300 to 250€, no idea if the seller is doing that) Which other cars might be a better alternative? Seller thinks that a young woman drove him in front of it and the car was not “stepped”…do not know if that’s true. During the test drive he only let me drive very briefly (10 to 15min). Maybe some problems only become noticeable at higher speeds on the AB.. LG

The Citroen dealers should have a circular letter of the Zenrale which makes a statement on the above topic – although not yet published on the homepage. This is, which will start production from October 2018 ! , ie. who today orders this car with the better Eurornom 6 d temp (from 1.9.2019 mandatory) can no longer count on the delivery this year … What are your information?

Hello together, have a Citroen C3 Sensodrive __ the vehicle stops again and again with the familiar “snow mode” transmission finds no gears any more ect. vehicle I can also no longer start with all the well-known tricks like battery, etc. If then I have the vehicle on the lifting platform ….. close the starter briefly and the car runs …. then I make out again __ put the car back on the ground _ ignition _ gears are searched and found_ car can be found start and drive again as if never had been anything. But!! next test drive over 10 / 15 KM it happens again …. under driving the beep goes on _ Snow mode comes _ _ vehicle no longer takes gas and stops. It still runs … but I can’t drive. As soon as the C 3 is turned off it’s over __ it doesn’t start anymore and possibly even has the gear in it and can’t even be pushed away :-(((( Would be grateful for every tip 🙂 ) …. if someone software h At which I can read__ I would like to do this myself and of course here also what “pay” At Citroen it is a barrel without floor __ there is just too much money going on and everything is considered.

Hello together, for about 3 weeks the engine control light has been constantly shining during the ride. Then I drove to the workshop about 1 week ago, because my car had already started to go to the engine control light, but after a restart I thought nothing about it. But since the light was on now constantly I drove to Citroen to let the error memory read out. Out of that came only a fuse, and that the second car was constantly on. Then it was changed. After that it was quiet for about 2 days, then this damn engine control light went on again. I then checked the fuse myself, but that was OK. Then I removed the secondary air pump, and see there was a good half liter of water in the pump. I then cleaned it and dried it up and then installed it again. Since I could not delete the error myself then the day after I went to my workshop But now after 2 days the lamp is back on again. I checked the pump again, but it is perfectly fine and also runs who you start the car. Since I planned to drive to the TÜV tomorrow and the engine inspectors probably don’t like, I would like to know if there is any possibility, how I can delete the error myself. My car is by the way a Citroen C3 1.1 with first registration February 2005. Please help me! Thank you in front of ==References==

Hello all!! Our C3 Picasso has rust bubbles without end!! -Bj 2012 (newly bought) -Underfloor protection immediately additionally,so that we have no problem with rust cutting. -2016 Rust transparency for warranty,without complaint. -2018 in January unfortunately rust vision not made, was unfortunately overlooked.(otherwise all service made at Citroen) -2018 in August rust bubbles (partly 2cm large) at the tailgate and li+Re Holm noticed. From to the car house,short information rust damage in the value of 270€-Autoankau fswert max. 4500=Economic total damage. No guarantee since review was not made in January 2018.Kulanz solution 20%Citroen +20%distributor.As the rust bubbles are closed outside, the rust clearly comes from them, my opinion should be 100% culant.Car is only 6 years old. Ask for your opinion. Lg a disappointed Citroen driver.

Dear people, I have a C3 II Exclusive with the 120hp engine (real 4-speed automatic transmission) and it claps and claps when I start or when I stand (except in idle). Now I was at a Citroen branch yesterday and they did a test drive. Feedback: I’ve never heard of it. Is probably a gearbox problem. Let’s not do it here. I thought so. The whole thing is as follows: 1. When I start the first time after engine start there is a physical S You can really feel it at the bottom of the foot and it’s always like that. 2. As soon as I stand (except in idle) the car claps from the bottom/left side. The guys also raised the car and could not see anything that caused it (also hotplate would be fixed). It’s probably the gearbox. It actually does so as normal when you take into account that the car has only 4 gears and you notice the 120hp zero. Has someone similar he problems and can report or a tip? Thanks already.

Hello. Just looking for a car for my parents. We stayed stuck at Citroen C3. You like the car very well and to rehearsal they have already driven a 110 psler and were very satisfied. Yes, the prices have increased significantly in recent times and in the vicinity (Lower Bavaria) we find nothing about price/performance. Keyless go should be already, automatic anyway. Was in the last car also available and they do not want to miss it. Now we found one what my parents But what makes me think about it is that the PDC sensors are present on the front fenders sideways, which I know are responsible for tracking assistants, but on the pictures of the interior equipment, where the light control is not available. Thinking error on my part? Thanks in advance https://link.mobile.de/KfSdELpESxkHNqHa7

Hello, I stayed on the highway with my pluriel with my toddler. he just went out during the ride and it looked only briefly the battery. After an adventurous towing action (the towing device in the thread had suddenly broken off. At home then only Ecomode stood in the display. I tried it again the ignition went then at work was not even the warning flashing light went.. Battery charged overnight. It also did nothing. I bought the car in front of you and it never happened what it purred like a kitten. Ok, I’m a woman, but I want to keep my car and really need your help with this car. A workshop manual is not to be obtained. what do you think it might be?The Lima? (coal through) And how can I expand this part? Can I get a copy of the car? I’d rather ask before I can’t get my car started. I’m really stuck on the mortar How can you test the Lima itself? What do you think about it?I’m more than grateful about every help and not quite untalented about cars, but that really makes me feel forgiven. Letting the fault diagnosis through was a very nice one.And that came out on the Bidern, only he didn’t know what to do. Something about Getri ebeschreiberung…ähh yes but where can I find it? You can check the cables and I just don’t know where. lg Bianca

Good evening together, After a long time thinking I decided to buy last month a Citroen c3 Picasso 2010 with the 1.6 vti 120 HP engine used. Fing already well at the Kies dealer that came after a day exhaust system defective. So let again there and Lambdasonde exchange. Since the last service entry was long back, I had it made last week in a friend’s workshop, complete service. Fresh oil (whereby the dealer said he made another one with it, but r just tipped oil to it), spark plugs were completely fried and the air filter hasn’t breathed freely for a long time. I also noticed that the front right, crossbar or similar is defective. Was only the rod and is now exchanged on both sides and set track. When the spark plug change compression measured, fits. Now the car is better in shot than before, but there is a little something yesterday. And indeed, the on-board computer no longer works, completely dun kel. Tacho goes without problems and it is not set to the dark mode on the radio either. Someone already had such a thing and can please tell me the solution? Radio plays, but it shows nothing at all in the display, where the missing time is the most annoying. I thank you already in advance. Greeting Matze.

Hello, with me went during the ride, acceleration to the overtaking process ( 4th gear, high speed, wanted to turn up) the engine lamp, red. With the indication error engine oil pressure, stop vehicle. I stopped, car turned off. After 1 minute started, engine ran and drove 25 km without any problems. Next 2 rides without problems, now it came back a few times. Engine oil tested, the stand was clearly above max., and smelled of gasoline. Workshop looked at it and said, dr Ingend change timing belts. It can be seen in the opening to the oil filling, it would be porous. Question: can this be the cause? If so, what costs do I have to reckon with?
