1993 Citroen ZX Volcane Turbo D review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Throttle Damper, Coldstart Relay, Suspension Bushes (Rear), Suspension Ball Joint. Usual tyres and Brake pads.
General comments?
Sporty with diesel economy. This car was ideal in its earlier years. Dealer Service is quite expensive and they are not exactly focussed on the important things.
After 50,000 miles I checked the Air Filter casing and a birds nest fell out. The Air filter was never changed by the dealer. My impression is that the electrics are poor with little fuse protection. The faulty coldstart relay took out the glow plugs and part of the wiring. £375.00 !
Suspension seems overstressed in the Volcane as wear is higher than I am used to. Front suspension is rattling again but I can't see why. Paint is soft and easily marked.
