Good Points

Superb to drive great all round vision electric doors climate control.

Bad Points

Almost too many to list; new engine 30000 miles, problems with power steering fluid from new diesel injectors, umpteen saty recals, excessive tyre wear both front and back, engine control unit waterloged, umpteen weeks wait for the part, foam coming out of drivers seat front, passenger seat makes grinding noise, parts seem non existent, various strange messages on computer screen regarding need for oil, water and the famous air pollution fault, even Citroen UK do not know how to cure this car. Used as private hire vehicale now waiting for its return from dealer to part ex for something hopefully more reliable.

General Comments

The Citroen C8 is beset by all sorts of problems anybody considering buying any of cars in this range you should think very carefully. Applies to 807 Peugot and Fiat Ulysees all have a reputation for problems.

    I agree with this review because... I own a C8. I have had some of the problems listed and many more, flaky door and boot handles, exhaust fell in half, cool electric sliding door almost cut my head off and so on. My timing belt has failed at 55000 miles. My wife uses the car to get to and from her work and do the shopping and it's regularly serviced and well looked after so it's not due to misuse or neglect. THE BELT IS NOT DUE FOR REPLACEMENT UNTIL 100000 MILES, 75000 IN EXTREME CONDITIONS! The car is 4 years and 2 months old and Citroen are not interested in helping us get it repaired. I had the car inspected by my main dealer and independently and nothing has caused the belt to break, it has just failed. I am very disappointed!

    I have the Citroen C8 SX 2.0 HDI 2003 with 70k miles - the timing belt on mine has failed as well and they want £5,500 to repair the damage. The dealer are not the slightest interested in the problem. The car is now only worth scrap. Citroen must have a design fault on the fuel injectors. Because of the design fault they cannot remove the injectors and have to cut the cylinder head off and that's what is causing the large bill.
