Just called Citroen service dept
Recall is for "Upgrading the software on the engine management system to avoid illumination for lack of power"
AND i asked her to repeat that (Almost sounds like their just gonna take the lamp out!)
When I said dont think I'll bother as I dont have the issue, she got quite determined and said they would have to have the car back to do it
Lets hope all runs smoothly after- anyone had it done yet?

If I didn't have so much fun driving it as I do I probably would have just rejected it, given the option and bought another bike.cyclone> Fish is the man

Note that the explanation doesn't say "to avoid lack of power" but "to avoid illumination for lack of power" - so, presumably, once this software "upgrade" is done, when the almost inevitable power loss problems occur, the warning light won't illuminate. How much do you want to bet that if you were then to ask your dealer to investigate the power loss, they'll say "no warning light showing? no fault found".
In my experience, the only time that Citroen have been prepared to do anything about the power loss & uneven power delivery on mine is when the warning light is illuminated, as the car itself has provided me with incontrovertible evidence that it is poorly.
Or am I just being paranoid?

I took mine in the other week and had a chat with the manager there after telling him it had the same juddering fault as before the last time the engine was replaced. Explained that I knew the car wouldn't be covered under warranty but took the time to sit down with him and politely explain that the issue with the engine isn't one I have created. I even went as far as to log onto the forum with him and detail the problems others had in the past.
1 week later, I got a call from the servicing department asking when I could drop the car off. Took it in that Saturday, went home with a courtesy car for 2 hours, back into the dealers and out of the forecourt with my freshly tightened chain
When in doubt, shop about. Try another dealer if you get similar issues in future Gar to see if you can progress things faster.cyclone> Fish is the man
