  • 90HDi Diesel hesitation - Not mine ! :D

    Hey guys,

    Neighbor of mine has a 2010 DStyle 90HDi (Not the e-HDi) and been having some problems.

    They've had no problems with it before but recently its had really bad hesitation issues - to the point where if Colin (The owner) would normally accelerate a tad while cruising in 5th - he's having to drop it to 4th and sometimes 3rd to get enough revs to get the car going. I've had a go and it's like driving with a massive flat-spot where it's asif the turbo is non-existant. He says it goes on for a few days and then will be ok again for a day and then the problems arise again.

    No warnings or lights on the info screen or dashboard when it happens ?

    They're obviously worried as it's become dangerous e.g at roundabouts where it's not pulling away quick enough. They've been to the local dealer twice and they can't find anything wrong with it and they can't recommend anything ?

    Car is totally standard and has done around 25,000 miles.

    Found this thread and PM'd the user but wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms ? http://ds3club.co.uk/showthread.php?...sel+hesitation

    Cheers guys !

          25k done on mine and no problems, other than a little sluggish below ~2k revs.

            We had a DS3 eHDI with what you are describing late last year, Citroen instructed us to change the software on the car with an update they had at the time. This fixed the issue, granted it's hard to say if this is the same or not but it does sound similar.
