Citroen, a renowned French automaker, is known for its innovative designs and performance-oriented vehicles. However, just like any other automobile, Citroen models may encounter certain problems over their lifespan. This article provides an in-depth look at the common issues faced by Citroen car owners and the potential solutions to these problems.
Owners of the Citroen C4 Picasso and Grand Picasso models have reported a recurring problem of water ingress and subsequent water damage. The culprit often lies in the scuttle area's drainage system, which appears to be under-designed, leading to water accumulation and dampness.
Many Citroen C3 Picasso models have reported water damage in the fuse box, a crucial component located under the bonnet. This problem often leads to the rotting of multi plug wires, necessitating costly replacement.
The 1.6/1.4 THP engine turbo, featured in many Citroen models, has shown frequent cooling fan problems. Often, these issues are attributed to misfires caused by poor maintenance. The engine control unit (ECU) declares a state of emergency upon detecting excessive knock and misfire.
Some Citroen C5 owners have reported that the central locking system does not work with the key fob, even after replacing the battery and trying all reset options.
The Citroen C4 VTR+ has been reported to suffer from intermittent loss of power during normal driving and occasional non-starting issues. These issues are often attributed to injector faults and require diagnostic testing.
Citroen C5 Tourer owners have reported faults with the front windscreen wipers. The left wiper often stops working, while the right one only moves back and forth over a small range.
The Berlingo model, particularly the 1.9d variant, has reported issues with the engine not starting, despite having a good battery and the engine turning over.
Owners of the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso have reported issues with the brake lights, ABS, and ESP warning lights coming on intermittently after driving approximately 15 miles. This issue also leads to gear selection problems.
The Citroen Xsara Picasso has been reported to have the airbag light stay on, which could lead to MOT failure.
Some owners of the 2008 Citroen C3 have reported warning sounds indicating various lights not working. However, upon checking, all the lights seem to be functioning normally.
