How's that Ragnarock? Have you got some information that I don't?
I've got the car booked to the dealer next week, will update this thread if they find something. In the meanwhile the car has been great ever since, no problems or power loss at all.Comment

Exactly, let's put it this way. ATM I'm not in the best terms with them.Originally posted by cyclone View Post
However, have read more than enough about the issues of THP and it seems in most cases when Citroen cannot figure out what causes e.g. juddering they just feed you "tough shit, no can do". Some sea foaming, badabing badabong, if it the problem does not disappear then just get the f*ck outta our estate.
pmatil btw how many kilometers do you have on it?Citroën DS3 Racing 2011 Polar White

Oh ok, I have so far a few bad experiences with the dealer but they are from basic maintenance sloppyness etc. Luckily they repair what they break
Ragnarok, currently I have about 23 000 km.Comment

Pretty sure the THP engine doesn't like the coldsigpicJog on NoddyComment

Hi chris most engines love the cold they breathe better took mine out to day God it's quick it loves the cold ESP was coming on all over the place.Comment

Fully agree they love the cold air intake, not sure all the metal and oil like sub zero temperatures though
Oil gets heavier and less fluid, timing chains prefer a decent operating temp, but I am no metallurgist LOL
Never kick my turbo in until am on mid temp on the gaugesigpicJog on NoddyComment
