2001 Citroen C5 HDI SX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had many problems with my C5, too many to mention.
Many the same as other people; won't start, anti-pollution faults, which I still have after spending loads on getting the fluid topped up, and twice in two weeks it has packed up while driving, a bit scary to say the least.
It has failed to start on average every week, whether starting it from cold, or like sunday while at the skip, when the engine was only off for a few minutes, couldn't find enough people to push it directly into the skip.
One RAC guy said it's the fuses, and the last one has said it could be a wiring fault or the fuel pump relay, but I can't find the fuel pump relay anywhere in the engine. Does anyone now where I can find it please?
Have put up with this car for a year now, but it is so unreliable, and only works when it wants to. Any information would be gratefully appreciated.
Christine.
