Front right brake squealing. Fixed with new discs/pads.
Clutch release arm snapped. Difficult to get hold of from Citroen/Peugeot Dealers.
Gearshift very loose, needs new linkages.
For the price these are fantastic motors. I average 500 miles on a tank (10gallon).
Starting to lose a bit of power now, due to high mileage.
I own an AX 1.5 diesel (N reg), with 89,000 on the clock. Generally happy with the car in terms of performance - it's pretty nippy, probably the torque that helps - reliability is excellent, and of course, the economy is fantastic. On a recent trip to Europe, returned figures of around 60mpg; this included long stints of high speed driving on German autobahn's (80-90mph).Car was faultless throughout, offering decent comfort, though noisy at autobahn speed. Handles fairly well, though absolutely terrifying in a cross-wind at highish speeds due to light bodywork; very sluggish up alpine passes in France, Germany. Only a 2CV was slower!
