1990 Citroen BX 16v review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump.
Cooling fan terminals corroded, causing overheating and burst radiator.
Small hose at back of head chewed by cam pulley.
Starter switch, intermittent fault.
General comments?
Very, very fast. Costs are reasonable for a car that can out accelerate most cars on the road. More than compensated by low purchase cost.
Mk2 models are badged as BX16v.
Losing 'GTI' tag drops one or two insurance groups.
