1997 Citroen Xantia SD review from Bulgaria
"Close to perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust gases penetrate into the cabin.
It seems the EGR assembly has gone wrong.
Or the luggage compartment sealing band has worn out.
General comments?
Very comfortable car.
The rearward visibility however is awful.
The front wiper sends water into the cabin.
I just wonder what exactly SD means - if Soft Diesel, as suggested, what is Soft Diesel itself?
