Citroen C8 04



This C8 has been the worst car I have ever owned.

Cam belt snapped at 90,000 miles when it was not due for replacement untill 100k.

Depolution system warning light comes on and car limps home at 10 miles an hour. Citroen main dealer told us it needed a new depolution system so they fitted one £1200 and no difference, then they decided it was a fault with the turbo - yes we replaced that on there say so - no difference, they replaced various bits at costs I wish to forget.



This car has not run properly for over a year despite main dealer attention and nearly £7000 spent.



All common problems I am now finding out. DO NOT BUY ONE THEY ARE S**t

It seems that your problem originates with the dealer and not the car. If they had made the proper diagnosis, the problem would be solved at once at relatively minor costs. Isn't there a kind of customer organisation who you can turn to to help you?

I agree... I have a peugeot 807 (basically the same car) and I too think its the worst car I have ever owned. Don't worry you are not alone just check out the forums! I have had particulate filter failure, turbo failure, egr valve failure, fly by wire failure... The car has only done 80K with full main dealer service history. The HDI engine is shocking. I am currently 2,500 - 3,000 in repair bills in the last 6 months. Such a shame as Citroen/Peugeot used to have such a good reputation for quality diesels. All thrown away with this shocking example of poor quality design and engineering. You don't have a one off, they are all like this.
