High speed judder which couldn't be rectified. Made driving above 80 mph very uncomfortable.
Front suspension leg needed replacing.
Used a lot of oil (a litre every 700-800 miles)
Exhaust back box rattled first thing in the morning.
A quick car when the rev range was used, but not much low down torque. Noisy at cruising speed, but excellent, stable handling with great high speed ride. Very well equipped and good value.
Felt a bit lightly built in places, but was reliable.
Timely LHM oil change will prevent many mishaps in the hydraulic system of any Citroen car.
The oil use of older BX gasoline engines is caused by the valve seals that have become brittle. Replacing is possible without removing the cylinder head (putting the piston in top-dead position will prevent the valves from falling into the combustion chamber)
