2001 Citroen C5 Exclusive review from UK and Ireland
"Superb car spoilt by poor reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump failure.
Engine cooling fan relay failure.
Engine control unit failure.
Ignition module fault.
Drivers door lock faulty.
Oxygen sensor faulty.
General comments?
This car is very roomy and comfortable and great for long distance motorway cruising.
The boot is square with very little wheel arch intrusion.
The handling and ride are better than the new Vectra.
However the reliability has been poor and the dealer whilst very competent are also very busy causing delays in getting the car fixed.
