  • Another THP Problem?!

    My THP DS3 decided to put the Engine Management light on this morning....

    I was within a mile of my local Citroen Dealer so took it straight there...

    Awaiting call....

    It's 16 months old, 18,500 miles, up to now had not skipped a beat.

    Ah well, let's see...

    Regards,
    Clive.

    Got car back - new spark plugs fitted - and advised to use Super Unleaded by dealer (I think it's CUK that have recommended that)...and to give it a bit more welly! I do anyway!

    I didn't know the THP was supposed to be run on Super Unleaded????
    Ah well, will see how it goes, it drove home fine no problem!

      I think they have been advising people to do so but it doesn't say that you have to in the handbook.
      Bit of a cheeky one methinks :P

        Sounds like a bit of CUK Bollocks

          ^ this ^

          Are they charging you for the new plugs? Not sure what the recommended change intervals are (mine's still on the originals at 33k)

              Nice one - thought they might have tried the service item/wear & tear argument.
