1987 Citroen AX TRE review from UK and Ireland
"Head gasket eater!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric windows played up.
Head gasket blew causing the head to crack and melt the cambelt cover!!!
General comments?
I was warned about French cars being crap on the head gasket side of things, I now know why, it overheated one day, then the engine sounded like a diesel tractor, the head gasket had blown!!!
I know of other people who have bought them only to replace the head gasket soon after.
