Hello, my C4 needs two new summer tyres. At the moment, drive the original 205/50 ZR17 89W. Price inquiry from the dealer showed today that a tire (depending on the manufacturer – all brand companies: Fulda, Goodyear, Bridgestone, etc.) costs between 140 and 180 Euro (but then “already” incl. assembly, VAT, etc.). I’m really a bit flat, but according to the dealer I can’t take any other tires either 🙁 Why does such a lame crate actually need a W-tire (up to 270km/h)?? A tip or other info?

Hello out there, wanted to ask questions about your experience with the customer hotline. I myself had the need to contact them twice in the meantime. They probably don’t have e-mail address – a pity – should be standard today. 1. Wanted to request the report for my 18″ Krakatoa rims, because I want to switch to 225/40R18. Requirement was made by letter. Until today (approx. 2 months) no reaction, resp. answer. 2. After reprogramming to day running light funkttio Workshop had no idea. The nice lady at the hotline (this time the attempt by phone) knew nothing – but wanted to take care of it and call me back. Until today (about 2 months) no call back. I found and fixed the problem in the meantime. I ask myself now: What do I do if I really have a serious problem? The workshops in the Stuttgart area are all not the Brüller and the hotline probably reacts to Customer requests are not. What are your experiences? Ask for feedback. Greetings MyC4

It happened, I now have an Activa V6! 1997 year of manufacture, i.e. an X1 with 140Tkm from Switzerland, checkbook AU booklet, new tires – all ok. The only thing he doesn’t have is sliding roof and leather. The approval was no problem. I had a few worries about the TÜV, this one found only one defect. It was a loose Torx spray on one of the mechanical sensors on the hinerax. It is a great car. First you have to get used to it without inclination to drive through curves, But it’s a great thing. On the country road you normally drive your 100 and have a free rear-view mirror, because you can do it everywhere. 😉 The car has a much better chassis than a current 3 or 5 BMW. You don’t have to compromise. The engine is first cream. A nice V6 rumble. The draught is enormous. The consumption is between 8.5 and 14 liters depending on the driving method. It’s no problem with the traffic on the highway between 110 and 170 km/h and n Ach 700km “only” 60 liters Super to refuel. The processing is good for a Frenchman. The gap measurements sometimes run a little apart, but it is forgiven. Beauty is always in the eye of the viewer. I keep you informed! Martin

Greetings. I’m new here and I’m asking you for help. I used the search function and so far did not find a problem that really coincides with mine. I’ve been picking up my ZX for a month now and I picked up the part from Austria. On the trip I didn’t notice any problems, however, when then 2 weeks later the tank needle tilted over half to a quarter it started with the problems. Again and again I had the problem that while driving a n power failure up to 0, which I got control of at the beginning by “pumping” with the accelerator pedal again and thus I got back my power. Unfortunately, these dropouts took to the less I had in the tank. Up to now the car could drive at most until the reserve light started. During the drive to the petrol station about 3km I had to stop 5 times, because the “pump” did not work anymore and the engine simply went out while driving. And the car jumped up again immediately and had full speed. So it was noticeable that the problem only occurred in gears 4 and 5 mainly. So now at the petrol station fully fueled and see there, the power is back again. Unfortunately it then started again after reaching half of the fuel level with the power loss. I have now replaced the fuel filter (no change) , checked the air filter and the petrol pump once looked at. Contacts and everything still sees On the advice of a buddy I also drilled a small hole in the tank lid to guarantee the tank ventilation and ventilation. In the tank is also enough The car also has only 60,000 down and is in itself in a well-kept condition. I wonder what can cause this power loss. The petrol pump is just my greatest attention, and I wonder to what extent the pump can have to do with the fuel level. I just don’t understand the interplay of level, 4th and 5th gear while accelerating and loss of power.

Hello, I have a problem with my Xsara kombi 97Bj. As a Hatz receptor, I don’t have the ability to buy a new car or visit workshops.

About suggestions I would be very happy n! thank you in advance!

Hello friends I could despair, because I bought a c8 with just 46000 km lt seller consumption between 7 and 8 liters on 100. that didn’t work from the beginning. So I got into the workshop consumption and performance (max. 10 to 160 quite fast, then yawn after 8 km times the 170 or just over (yawn again) so I expected more lt vehicle data should be 182. The workshop found a hose the first time v the turbocharger was defective. The second time it renewed an injection nozzle, which probably had wrong values. Unfortunately no change, I now drove again 200km of which half short distance the other long distance about every time so 30 km before the long distance consumption lt BC 11,7 liter/100 after the 200 km then refuelled calculated consumption 10,75 l/100. I now need information from other c8 riders, to the data it is a 2.2 l HDI with 128 hp Bj 2003 47000km. i.e. the seller has cut me over the ear, please ask for a few dates what need currently the same vehicles or if an expert is there, what is going on with the engine, probably both defects have the same cause. Need a few tips or factual usages. Still so much to my driving style I drive as a business car a T5 TDI by 1.9l with 2.5 tons weight in urban traffic with about 9l/100.

Hello. After Citroen advertises that the Citroen C1 is available in standard version less the scrapping premium already from 5490 euros, I went to some Citroen dealers and wanted to buy such a C1 as a replacement for my wife’s AX. However, this is practically impossible, as such C1 is currently not available. So I would have to order such a vehicle, accept the delivery time of about 3 months and whether then still money in the pot of the federal government for the premium i I will try my luck at FIAT and see if they can deliver us a panda immediately – and in standard version. Personally, I don’t believe in it and feel easily ridiculed by the manufacturers. Greetings VG

This is a call for help! I drive (drive???) a Citroen ZX Break, and I love it very much (have it????). 3 days ago I wanted to leave it on, but the engine gnawed strangely and didn’t jump on. Then my father and I dragged the car into the workshop to let it thaw and put better antifreeze in the cooling water, since the previous obviously had not done its service(-18°C). Today it was agreed that I could pick it up, but when I a When the workshop arrived, the owner told me that there was nothing to save on the vehicle, there was no “compression” anymore. It was probably something bursting in the engine due to the expansion of the ice. Now I want to know: What exactly can have happened? And what, if at all, can you do about it without changing the engine or buying another car? I’m a layman as far as KFz mechanics and the like are concerned, but I don’t think this problem is more cost-effective. I thank you in advance for all the answers, would be very connected if someone could help me.

Hey Loide, at the detachment of the middle air nozzles in the dashboard this foil detachs itself. Directly at the breakthroughs for warning turn signals and door locking. Is it only on the decor vein that is also on other decors like that. I have this carbon similar. The car is only a few weeks old and these places are not overly touched or nibbled. Sure, the friendly will fix it on guarantee, I have no worry. I will ask him if he with some kula nz this “Alu brushed” jumps, that seems more massive to me than this foil. Is there just ́ne stupid corner there at this probe, there is certainly not such a foil without great effort. Is this known or did I just get a “bad” part?
