We got the Citroen C5 from a main dealer in Worksop, first day it would not let us drive it due to a sensor fault, returned to dealer, then the outside temp gauge went, rtd, then the air I take sensor, then the ecu failed, twice, then had a new cat and exhaust, new discs and pads, then all the locks, then another sensor, and all the time the car dances, yes jumps up and down like a drug dealers car, common fault I € m told. then when you leave it for a number of days it drains the battery with it's dancing, had the mod done at the dealers, still dances, then they altered the timing to five minutes on the ecu before it reduced the electric output and after standing at the airport for two weeks [with a brand new battery] again flattened the battery, dancing.replaced eight headlight bulbs in six months, until I took it off auto light, none since. near impossible to change bulbs due to bulkhead and battery, but after eight it only takes about an hour, yes an hour, on the near side, forty minutes on the off side, with lots of hand /arm cuts.

Very unfortunate as we really liked this Citroen C5 SX at first. Citroen UK are also apparently unable to find a C5 estate to loan us.

The car in question is a Citroen C5 2.0 110bhp VTR. My problem with the vehicle is that the flywheel is a major fault, as this makes a noise at turn off, and also when changing gear. The noise sounds like it is a big bird under the bonnet, but until Citroen find a fix, we all have to put up with this annoying problem.
If anyone else is having this problem, get in touch with Citroen before your warranty runs out, or you will have to PAY to get rid of the noise.
