  • Engine ran like it was being strangled of air, then the fault light came on. FFS!

    As said in title. Very pissed off with it now, will check it again tomorrow. First thing I will check will be the MAF sensor.

    Any ideas?

          could be that aswell, im no expert but these citroen cars are all the same. mine sounded like an areoplane like it was sucking far to much air in. and it lost abit power its was my spark plugs you would be amazed even tho it had a full service they didnt change the plugs

                If the fault light has come on it will have stored a fault code. Get the car to a dealer & get a diagnostic check done. It could be any of a number of components that's faulty - all covered by your warranty!

                  I have discovered it runs like shit as if the fuel is bad then the strangling is limp mode. Then comes on the joyous light! :-D I love the light, it makes the dashboard look festive!

                        If your dealer is near where you work why not get them to pick it up from you, mine does

                          Nice idea, I will find out if they would be so kind. I will put the story up on here when it's resolved.

                              Hi Gareth,

                              Don't know if you have had the car re-mapped or not, but when I took mine to the dealer they wiped the map and returned the car to standard.
