1994 Citroen Xantia review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since a year the engine has had serious problems, when slowing down it just shuts down. Specialists hired by Citroen dealers have not been able to solve this, on bad days the car will shut down every time you release the gas before stopping. I have read on a Dutch car magazine web site that it is a known problem with early Xantia's and that it is an engine management problem.
General comments?
When it works, this is a great comfortable car. The suspension saved our life once (I was able to swerve by a suddenly oncoming fire truck).
