1999 Citroen Saxo L review from UK and Ireland
"Waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idle regulator.
Exhaust.
Fan belt.
Ignition collapsed.
General comments?
The car was quite quick for small engine.
However when I took it home, I had nothing but bother with it. I bought it brand new from the Citroen dealer, and I have regretted it ever since.
After a week the fan belt was screaming and fell off an average of every 8 months.
The ignition collapsed after 12 months and the exhaust fell off when I drove to London.
As if this want bad enough, it started revving on its own. I took it to the garage and it was the idle regulator, which cost over 200 pounds to be replaced, but it seemed OK after this.
I will never buy another Citroen again. I now have a Renault and have no trouble with it.
