I have owned my Citrone C8 for 3.5 years, upgraded to top model larger car with a view to keeping it longer than the 2 years we usually keep them. Having all the added extras made it a special car to be in. Have had to change the brakes twice and every six months I have to change tyre due to wear, but apart from that it has run fine until the first day of the Easter holidays, when the engine just stopped. Green Flag towed me to a local garage, where i was told if it was the timing belt not as bad as the cambelt, but then it went down hill from there. Two garages refused to touch it as the job would take to long. Current garage has advised timing belt will have ruined rockers and to remove injectors need to come out and you never get all four out without them breaking, and then has to be sent away. Estimate of at least £2,500. I have no cash, can not work without my car and weeks until I know the extent of the final bill. I have been offered £1,500 for scrap!! I owe more than this on finance. The car is 5 year old, but only has 45,500 on the clock.
Have read numerous reviews since this problem, only wish I had read them earlier and got rid of the car for the £5,000 it is worth earlier. LOVE THE CAR, HATE THE REPAIR BILL!!
