A 12 Plate car getting a de-coke what ever nextI used to do that quite often on my old Morris Marina back in the day
If It was me the car would have been thrown back at the dealer giving them loads of shit about crap engines etc
The car is only young what happens when the miles pile on a de-coke every year?
Sorry to come across negative but you by a new car for reliability not pissing around haggling with Citroen about crap engine build and performance

I have a '61 plate THP150 and before that I had a '10 plate THP150. At idle, especially when cold they both sound horrendous, so noisy and rattly sounding, even when warm they aren't much better!
Nothing wrong with the current car though and it had it's 20k service 2 weeks ago so is freshened up. I wouldn't worry too much unless the sound changes.
Still one of the worst sounding engines I've heard at idle though (mine also sounds quite whirry at lower revs), one of the very few things that I really dislike about the car!'10 DSport in Black/Carmen Red 'Daisy' - Traded back in
'61 DSport+ in White/Black 'Poppy'
