    If its not the engine wonder what else it could be (Meaning the engine issue could be the symptom of something rather than the cause)
    Ask them the build date of the replacement- that might be an indicator

        Do the engines come fully built with all auxiliaries fitted already, turbo and fuel pump etc???
        Would be interesting to see the live data coming back from this car on the dyno, Im sure this would help diagnose the problem.

          My dealers knew within 3 seconds what the build date was on mine. But the engine numbers can date the engine build AFAIK
          He knew what date it was shipped, when built. Pretty sure he was honest because the dates were 4-5 month previous to when I viewed the vehicle
          And I have seen mid 2012 build which are differently configured (Older versions)

          Think about whizzing up to Jamie at SPT as he suggests, if Citroen not much good- he does know what he's talking about

            Not sure, maybe bigfeet can answer that. A dyno test sounds good to me.

              Going to give them a call next week and book it in and take it from there, see what the outcome is and then arrange the dyno with Jamie.
