1996 Citroen XM vsx review from UK and Ireland
"A spectacular bargain, but hard to find"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
External temp gauge doesn't work - they never do!
A.B.S. warning light comes on - bleeding system & cleaning all electrical connectors cures this.
Alarm sounds for no reason - caused by worn out batteries in alarm unit.
Sunroof won't open - lubricate drive belt with wd40 (through open roof, undo cover)
General comments?
For a diesel car of this size it performs and handles to beat any other.
The fuel economy is unbeatable at 40 m.p.g. plus.
There is more room & comfort inside than any other car.
