1990 Citroen BX 19 TZI review from Netherlands
"Big, relaxed, comfy, luxury bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hydraulic tubes leaked
Rear wheel arm bearings worn
Front wiper and little stuff.
General comments?
This model is the top of the line with all the electrical gadgets.
I only paid 500 euro for it, knowing about the rear wheel arm bearings (would cost 400 to fix). I took it to the garage to fix that and get an MOT and worried about the hydraulic oil that had to be filled up and up. In the end I got a bill of 1450 euro and fixed her all up. Now I just hope I can drive it for at least 2 years.
I love the suspension, it really floats and glides you through the streets.
