1993 Citroen ZX Avantage from Portugal - Comments

18th Dec 2000, 15:37

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Mostly I've had problems with the IR door locks, and it seems that the car's electrical system (user focussed) is not at all "bullet proof". It does have some problems with right side door locks and window electrical system, as well as the console lighting, which is not functioning.

General comments?

I found this car to be an exceptional well built car. It's almost 7 years old and there are no major noises, and the engine is running quite smoothly.

Its cornering stability is impecable, and it's amazing how you can travel for 200 Km and not feel cramped up, due to its very good driving position and overall performance. It's been projected to take on the open road, with a good dose of comfort.

It's quite cheap to maintain and very cheap to drive.

It's my best car, and I also have a BMW...

Is it not true that the zx advantage, 93 model had to be recalled due to a fault, this in my girlfriends case was never done and has now spent 3 months in the garage after Citroen dealers refused to touch it.

What is this guy on about. make some sense. interpret his comments in three ways: 1. The ZX had no problems 2. The ZX had problems that your girlfriend did not get fixed 3. your girlfriend was recalled.

Can't wait to find out which it was... Safe money is on number 3.

I have a citroen zx 1.9 diesel 1992 model.

It seems this had the same problem with no lights on the dash.

I traced it to open circuit track on the lighting panel.

Only had it a few weeks, but very happy so far.

Phill.

I have had my zx avantage 1.9d estate for 7 years, done 210,000 miles with no problems and would not part with her for anything, the only problems I have had are the occtional brake light bulb blowing on the passenger side, i still get approx 50 mpg.
