As some of you know my DS3 was having issues with the "super knock" and revs slip since October last year. To date Citroen have spent £4000+ on the following items
-Inlet manifold spray cleaner
-Cylinder head off and decoke
-Timing chain and Guides
-High Pressure Fuel Pump Replacement
-Dual Mass Flywheel replacement
Out of all the above only the DMF made a difference which was to fix the revs. The car still had the "super knock" and the rattly sounding engine issue. Last month I had enough when I waited 8 days for them to analyse the latest set of data from my car to be told it needed to come back in but the earliest appointment was 3-4 weeks away! So I managed to get the dealership to purchase the car back off me. I've taken a little hit in cash considering I only managed to put 6k miles on the car but it was worth it to get out of the mess...
Oh and to add to the pain I noticed a week after my car went into them that there was a creese in my passenger door! Tamping I thought someone had hit my car and drove off. I got an expert PDR guy out who identified that someone had already PDR'd the door (done a poor job) and showed me all the evidence of such work had taken place... The only people other than me who had access to my car to undertake such a repair was Citroen! I know there's a no name & shame policy so I will just advise you all to look further than the Cardiff area for an approved Citroen Dealership!
However I now have the below to keep a smile on my face.
Lovely full Recaro leather interior, satnav, 28k on the clock... But most importantly a 5 Cylinder engine which makes the nicest of noises!
So if any of you are in the Cardiff area and are thinking of purchasing FG60 FPF. DONT!
