  • Another one bites the dust :-/

    Yesterday I had a major engine failure on my DS3R.
    Don't know yet if it's the same that others have described here, but judging from the sounds that came from the enginebay when it happend, it's no small thing :-/
    (Could not read any errorcodes from OBD...)

    Sorry to hear this Fingers crossed it's not the death of the engine.....

    Let everyone know when you can what the diagnosis is.

    Good luck

          Citroën shop says it's just a coil, and suggest I get all 4 changed along with new spark-plugs...
          I was under hard acceleration when it happened, but seems strange to me that a failed coil would "feel" and sound that violent :-?

            I would be back to them and ask that they confirm the cylinder they've pulled the "faulty" coil from isn't caked in carbon

                    I payed 490 Eur (w/o VAT or Shipping) for my front splitter. And that's just for splitter without the Lip, if you also need the lip it will be an additional 260 Eur.

                          Not trusting, hopeful :-)
