    My c8 has been a great family car until the timing belt went at 70,000 mile not due to be changed until 110,000 miles this seems like a very common issue with the car would not buy a citroen again!!!

    Had the C6 2.2SX HDi from new for 5 years. Performed brilliantly throughout with only few faults.I had one apparently big electrical problem of doors opening on own, ABS lights and other warning lights coming on. Eventually I found it was in need of a new battery after just 2 years. If the amperage drops too low, even if the car will start it upsets the engine management system. A new battery totally cured the problem.

    2 years later the same symptoms appeared and again a new battery fixed the ...

    Our C8 packed in at the weekend. Currently in garage and we've been told bill to fix it could be between £1000 and £6000 depending on exactly what they have to do to it. Problem seems much the same as everyone else is talking about. What I want to know is; has anyone managed to get Citroen to pay up? Has anyone had any joy taking the issue to BBC Watchdog? Your comments/advice will be gratefully received.
    Before I made this purchase I would like to have known that Citroen C8 ...

    Having 3 kids the Citroen C8 SX 2.0 HDi solves all of luguage problems. The car has run 160,000 kilometers and still is running as if it were new. Thinking of getting a new c8 next time.

    The sliding doors are great when I'm lifting the small kids in and out of the car, especially in the rain. It fits 3 car seats in the middle section really well (had a Zafira before and I couldnt do that). The boot fits my double buggy in, no problem and I can fit a few bags of shopping in there even when the buggy is there (not the weeks shopping but a few bags). Theres great room between the middle row of seats and the front seats which makes it a lot easier for me to put the kids' seat belts ...

    Owned car from new, May 04. First major problem was electrical drain. Main dealer had car for total of about four weeks, changed battery, alternator and apparently checked entire wiring loom but couldn't find fault. Eventually (just after warranty) independent electrician found faulty radio in about 5 minutes. Next catalytic converter broke down and destroyed particle filter, managed to get this done under warranty. Now, 59,000 mls and timing belt broke in France, will cost circa £3,000 ...

    I have a Citroen C8 2003 (mar) 2.0 5dr HDi SX and my timing belt broke 3 weeks ago. The garage I bought it from seems unwilling to accept any responsibility. It has only done c57k miles and is just over 5 years old and I still owe thousands on the loan. The garage can ' t fix/repair the cylinder head as 2 injectors are stuck in it so we are looking at either a new cylinder head or new engine. It ' s not recommended to replace just the cylinder head so I'm facing the prospect of a complete new en ...

    I have owned my Citroen C8 for one year and nine months now. My wife loved the car despite the 'niggles' until the latest big problem occurred. I got it from my main dealer as an approved used Citroen with 30000 miles on when it was just two and a half years old. Now 25000 miles later it has suffered catastrophic engine damage due to a failed timing belt. Due to the car being out of warranty now Citroen wont contribute to the repair cost despite the fact that nothing in the engine that the deale ...

    The Citroen C8 is overall a good people carrier , let down only by quality control and a poor interior.

    I have had my Citroen C8 SX 2.0 HDi for 11 months now, and I have had rust on engine components, rust on rear door hinges, rear electric doors open and close on their own, lots of creaks and rattles. The front passenger seat vibrates at 70mph, so much so that the tray behind it can't be used without all the objects placed onto it falling off!! I have also had 3 noisy window motors replaced. 2 Climate control noisy fans replaced. 2 rear door sensors replaced. 2 rear door rails replaced due to fla ...

    Over all not bad and I would still recommend it to a family. I had a few problems with my Picasso but as now they have all be rectified by Citreon with the minimum of fuss. Still a good car.

    I would recommend this Citroen C8 SX 2.0 HDi People Carrier to anybody although the Trowbridge Wilts Citreon dealer told me that the reason for the rear light assembly gong wrong was because its hot in France! Told him the car was made there so should be able to cope with the conditions.
