The starter has been replaced.
The alternator has been replaced.
New parts have been welded into rusty parts of the chassis.
The temperature sensor of the cooling system malfunctioned, leading to temperatures of up to 113 degrees Celsius (!).
The suspension system once was damaged, leading to the loss of all suspension fluid, preventing us to drive home from holidays.
The hinges of the back door have been replaced.
The air conditioning no longer functions, in spite of a repair.
Over the past ten years my wife and I have become attached to the car. Particularly on the highway it is a very comfortable car, driving for two hours at 120 km/hr does not lead to any fatigue at all! Driving at 180 km/hr is a bit disappointing, only the engine becomes louder (and consumes more fuel), without any further signs of high velocity in the handling characteristics of the car. Superb!!
Going on holidays is what this car is made for. Loading everything you need, without any puzzling what to put where, and off you go. With a heavy load the car sticks to the road like glue.
Hi,
my name is Prakash and am in Toronto, Canada.
I have 3 x CX's' one is an 1986 CX Sedan with the 2 Litre Douverin engine 4 speed/gang manual gears, 2 others are 1988 CX TRI's one is a 5 speed/gang, the other is an automatic. I love these cars with all my soul and find that there just isn't any other car in the world that compares its characteristics including the hydro-pneumatic suspension, brake and the powered self centering steering wheel. All my CX's are well looked after as I replace all the spheres, the LHM, any pipes or any bearings in the suspension arms/bushings and anything the car needs I just do it, mind you they are not that bad, if one is mechanically inclined, I am sure that anybody can look after these beautifully designed and manufactured by the Citroën company now ofcourse it is Pëugëot.
These cars are way ahead of their time, mind you Citroëns as far as I know have been very innovative and very aggressive and came with the vehicle with safety in mind.
Amongst other cars I will say this much that I am spoilt with falling in love with this breed of superbly innovatively designed cars that when I test drive other modern cars that I have great difficulty in choosing anything out there as I tend to compare them with the Citroëns.
