Re: Speed limiter

No It's electronically governed, so the engine ECU will only allow the set speed regardless of how far you press the accelerator - with the exception of emergency kickdown, where you must floor the pedal quickly to override the setting when you need a boost in certain circumstances. With this excep...

Speed limiter

Maybe a stupid question, but just wondering, if I consistently use speed limiter, by pressing the throttle further than normally required, and allowing the “system” to “limit” the speed (Conditions accepting) would it have any effect on fuel consumption?

Re: Engine noise

I seem to get a lot of road noise at higher speeds. Enough to make talking to the wife a strain. My previous 2 Cacti were quieter.

Re: Noise front wheels whilst turning on full lock

This has been covered before. By a coincidence my C3 Aircross Flair automatic has started doing this too. Basically it's because the wheels are at an acute angle and the torque causes the wheel to jump. It was especially bad on a wet carpark floor today for mine. Also it passed the MOT on Wednesday...

Re: My Citroen app, again

Mine is now FUBAR. I drive every day, but my last recorded journey is 10 November, and is shown twice. As is every other journey recorded in November. This continues into October until 26th, when in addition to being duplicated, the finish time is before the start time. Then the many intermittent mi...

Re: As if by magic

The new version of the app is absolute rubbish! Since it installed about a week ago, it doesn't connect to my phone much, when starting/restarting the app it takes a lifetime to load my data, and in about 800 miles of journeys this week it's only recorded a couple of very short ones; it did record ...

As if by magic

I noticed recently that the icon for the “My Citroen” app has changed to the new style chevrons. Then today, when my low fuel light came on, the sat nav screen opened, with the nearest petrol stations highlighted. I assume the two are connected. That’s new :D
