1995 Citroen AX Memphis review from UK and Ireland
"A reliable economical runner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windscreen washer pump faulty when bought. Fixed by dealer.
Cracked filler tube to fuel tank resulting in water contamination of diesel. Tank replaced 40,000 miles.
Head gasket 55,000 miles.
Brake cylinders replaced on the rear at about 90,000 miles.
Water pump failure at 105,000 miles.
Also at 105,000 miles rear trailing arm of the suspension on the drivers side badly worn resulting in replacement of whole rear axle.
Clutch now playing up at 120,000.
General comments?
Excluding repairs, running costs are cheap. 62+ mpg, low road fund license, cheap insurance.
My model has comfortable seats, electric windows and a manual sunroof.
It still looks good despite being nearly 8 years old.
