Will I Ever Get Her Back?

[budbeat]

Hi ... not been on the Forum for a year as the simple fact is my DS3 has been off school since then. Guess what no compression in cylinder 4 and yes 2011 THP 150 DSPORT
Finally sold the family jewels to get her back. Low and behold engine stripped down at dealer . Man cant find anything. Might need new head gasket. I said please check the pistons.
Man say pistons ok. Man fit new gasket and rebuild engine only to find problem not solved but alas when taking it apart. BOOM . Pistons as much together
as Donald Trump on steroids. Finally take down and rebuild and test drive .. O we cant give you it back just now its sticking like its misfiring on full beans some times. Been in for 4 weeks now. Not Citroen
but reputable dealer and i am getting 50% parts n labour family discount. I know the piston is sorted but is this common JUDDER JUDDER THP temp loss of power ever
fixable. ? Sorry for the rant but if i phone them 1 more time to suggest what it is I may not have a wife. O the last thing i mentioned was carbon build up and judging by the time the cars in the garage
I MAY HAVE CARBON BUILD UP...thanks in advance and as per no warranty fully serviced at main dealer and CITREON UK abandon me like a lepper holding a baG
OF ANTHRAX......

Personal opinion - Get rid of it.

After 4 weeks I'm surprised Citroen haven't replaced the engine. The juddering could be being caused by a faulty fuel pump. If the engine has had a full rebuild then carbon build up shouldn't be an issue now but it could be again in future.

Sorry for your woes

But your writing made me smile I realise that's littler help or assurance!

Cut losses, new (Quality used) engine. The older the THP , the more notoriuos the reliability. Not on all, admittedly, but some.
Then as Fish says

Thanks folks.... got Bella back from the Doctors today... drives like new thank god... piston was replaced and engine overhauled... turns out the problem with the flat spot was some sensor near the turbo not getting the air in as it hadnt been adjusted properly...

700 is a great price for a THP fix! Glad it's worked out

That's really good news! Glad your DS3 is back on the road!
