Re: 2018 Aircross Squeaks when turning

What do you mean by turning left or right? Is it when the car turns or when you turn the steering wheel? I have an issue with my 2019C3, which has had creaking steering almost since new, and despite the suspension being rebuilt a couple of times, it is still creaking.

Re: Extended warranty

No need to buy at the garage. Buy on=line, then take it to the garage as fait-a-compli. (hope I spelled that right)

Unfortunately Citroen Extended Warranty cannot be taken out after the initial 3 year warranty has expired, even by one day.

Re: C3 aircross oil fault/engine failure help!

I thought that the warranty should provide a hire car, but it seems that they are trying to worm their way out of this by claiming that at present, as the car hasn't been diagnosed they are not yet responsible. When I had a fault on my car which my usual agent couldn't solve I was told to try anothe...

Re: And blue

The trouble nowadays is that the dealers rely on computer diagnosis for everything. The computer will never diagnose an oil leak, a water leak or a brake fluid leak, although they may be able to diagnose a symptom that the leak causes, and this is possibly what has happened in this case. So they may...

Re: And blue

Again, thanks for clarifying. It makes me wonder whether many of the Adble tanks have been replaced unnecessarily when it may have been a simple case of removing the injector and cleaning it out. This should be a simple matter of dissolving the urea out using hot water.

Re: And blue

I have been following Adblue threads on various sites since it was first introduced in ~2013. This is the first instance that I can recall where the Adblue jet has been at fault.

Re: Clarification of tyre pressure monitor system

The indirect system is not a real time system. It takes a while for a puncture to register as the system needs to recognise some kind of average rotation speed over a period of time. This is so it doesn't give false positive warnings. When you need to reset the system after a warning you are not res...
