Hello

I have had two C5s a 2001 2.2 HDI saloon and a 2004 2.016v HDI estate both have been superb tow cars and I have enjoyed many miles of comfortable trouble free motoring. I kept the 2.2 for two years and sold it for £300 less than I paid which I thought wasn't bad. I still have the 2.0 estate and would only change it for another.

I am a bit of a Citroen fan but I understand there are those who wouldn't be seen dead in one. Each to their own I suppose.

  I hope have you better luck than me i picked a c5 2lt hdi 110 hp up on friday drove it home 13 miles and it went into limp mode only go up to  2000 revs dealers had it 2 days now still no joy rang him to today he asked are you sure you put diesel in it and not petrol. (twat)

Hi, guzgog,  I had the same problem on my omega (going into limp mode) it turned out to be the throttle switch. I won't tell you the cost it will give you nightmares, but it might sort out the fault.

sorry to hear this Guzgog particularly after me encouraging you, I can be pretty sure this is down to a dodgy maf, there appears to be a design fault in the inlet tract which allows condensation to form on the hot wire and causing it to rust...

it doesn't always show up when the codes are read either, mine was running okay when warm but a bit of a dog when it was cold, £35 for a maf from ebay and it's right as rain :)

can you remember the seller id as i am interested in replacing mine (2001 c5 2.2 hdi), and £35 seems a good price. is it an easy job to replace?

thanks,

simon.
