Question/s about DS3 Racing

[Ran]

I remember when the DS3 Racing launched it was a limited edition, but on citroen.fr it looks like it on standard sale, is it?

Why do I ask? Because I want to ask the local dealership to import one for me

Deep pockets for the huge list of problems on them? If so good choice in car and an epic thing to own... Not sure on how many they r making but some 1 will answer that soon

Hi,
What do you mean by "...huge list of problems...(?)" ?
isn't it the same engine as the 208 GTI? I know some guys with the 208 and no problems what so ever.

Ran- use the search button for "DS3 Racing issues" and have a read of a few of the threads
It just seems the THP 200 Racing engine has had a few more problems than some other DS3 engines

But the again, some DS3 Racing engines have had no problems at all

As Chris said... Do some deep searching before you buy... Some have no issues but a lot of had issues.. pistons melting and so on and after very very little miles as well.. that's why I never bought a racing.. my pockets where deep enough for the car just not to replace engines and so on so I settled for a normal thp

[Ran]

I will.
Thanks all.

Snap. Lovely looking motor, the Racing however.
I know a fair few that have had no engine issues, (Lowish mileage tho) bout the same that have had issues on here.

If you do get one, ensure you have an extended warranty in place
