1989 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
High mileage problems (106k on original running gear). Brake master cylinder, blocked carb (cos of K&N filter), tappet clearence, cam cover seal.
I have uprated the exhaust, suspension, sound system, interior, brakes and wheels/tyres for aftermarket items. Makes all the difference.
General comments?
Fantastic car, quick, agile, good looking and insurance friendly. Has all the bits as standard. Always starts 1st time. Brakes are shocking, uprate them before anything else, or you may have a close encounter with a wall! Highly recommended 4 people looking 4 cheaper alternative to turbo cars etc.
