Hi All,
11 months old and nearly 13k had her in for the first breakdown. Overheating, 3 to 4 litres of water getting to work and back. loss of power, then cutting out to a coast.
In all fairness, Citroën in Romford were good. sorted me a car whilst they looked at it and I hadn't even booked it in.
2 days later diagnosis was a split coolant pipe and failed fuel pump so they replaced both under W.
Sanity check though.. Since I had the car back there is a hot rubber/smokey smell coming from the engine bay. More the zero miles engine smell rather then the wiff of a track day car. I just noticed this morning white residue on the top and round the cap and 'blue' liquid in the water bottle..??
To confirm I'm not confusing the screen wash.
Now your MIN/MAX water bottle does NOT require BLUE liquid of any kind right?!
Thought I'd ask before I call Citroën.
Cheers

I am not sure of what color antifreeze PSA specifies. There is a blue color antifreeze, nowadays it comes in every colour of the rainbow it seems. The colors usually indicates the type of antifreeze and what additives are in it.Originally posted by cyclone
It is in the handbook. Satisfied.

It has always been clear in colour. Still need to get to the bottom of the smell.
As I mentioned before the smell is familiar to that of new parts so could be the pipe they replaced getting hot. I guess I'll know in a week or 2 when the pipe has settled.DSTYLE+ S/S Ink Blue | White | Aphrodite Rims | LED Xenons
