hi mate.

i was praising my 2.2 c5 hdi a few weeks ago and have had nothing but grief since!

yeah, the car tows great, good fuel economy, plenty of power, and very comfortable.......when it wants to.

it will (RANDOMLY) completely lose power (foot off, on, off, then back on accellerator cures this!), displays "engine immobiliser fault" and wont start (a few lock and unlock of the doors cures this!). radio comes on when it wants to, windows go up and down when they want to, trafficmaster comes to life when it wants to, suspension goes up and down when it wants to, air recirculation comes on when it wants to, diesel "disappears" on the gauge then reappears a few days later, sometimes i even get 999 mpg............ i could go on.

i took the car to citroen and paid £42.95 for a diagnostic check, and guess what....no fault codes showed up. so all perfectly normal then!

sorry im not really answering your original question (the foot off, on, off, then on may work), but if anyone has any solutions please send them to:-  Citroen, France, CR4P

My C5 started to go wrong (03 plate). I spent loads on it and wished I hadn't. Whgen they start to go they don't do it by half.

Citreon Mechanic said that once you start getting problems they start to moive around from one area to another. My advice, get shot.

I got an X type estate, Lovely car to drive but I found it an awful tow car, although I was on 87%

French electrics have always given problems, and always will.  Seems to be one of the things they just can't get right.

Now you are all scaring me, we have just brought an 09 plate citroen c5.  Are the above what we have got to look forward to?

Fingers crossed, I hope you are right.
