1995 Citroen Xantia SX review from UK and Ireland
"Economical tank of a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bracket snapped connecting the front hydraulic suspension to the rear which meant the rear suspension went to the highest or lowest position, not to the drive position.
Overheated radiator caused major engine damage, over 1000 spent to fix.
Constant problems with the lights on the dashboard, warning of water in the diesel fuel and ABS failure.
Battery failure at the first sign of winter.
General comments?
When everything is working, a nice car to drive even though I do not believe the suspension has ever been at its best since I purchased the car.
