1988 Citroen BX review from Netherlands
What things have gone wrong with the car?
170,000km Thermostat.
175,000km Full set of suspension spheres.
176,000km Exhaust pipe (due to prev. broken suspension!).
187,000km Fuel pump.
190,000km Fixed oil leak around axes.
195,000km 1 Wheelbearing.
198,000km Axles worn out.
Can be fixed, but at a price... car will, however gradually develop ever more noises.
General comments?
Keep it serviced - failing to repair in time will create additional costs, which can run up fast at any Citroen dealer...
