CITROEN FAULTS

SAXO

Will not rev up properly & vehicle speed severely affected. The saxo is known for its catalyst problems, the lambda sensor is usually the first part to go when this happens the cat gets soaked with fuel and causes it to become brittle until it eventually breaks up and blocks the exhaust solid - restricting the flow of gas and causes a severe loss of power and top  speed, usually restricts the car to a max speed of 30 - 50 mph. in this case the  cat and lambda sensor should be replaced together to avoid damaging the new catalyst.

wisted spine from offset driving position and big feet can hit more than one pedal at the same time. 3-speed 1.6 automatic replaced by 3-speed 1.4 auto. Can suffer mechanical problems and unsympathetic dealers. Only two stars in Euro NCAP crash tests. ECU problems begining to be reported. Reports of symptoms of premature bore wear on 1.5 really due to oil misting as a result of overfilling. Should not be filled with more than 3.5 litres of oil which reads to 2/3 full on the dipstick.
