Hi , i put my c5 aircross in for the recall but now feel that it is not as responsive and sharp with acceleration as it was before..
Am i just imagining this or has something been done when it has been reprogrammed to cause this?
Has anyone else got this issue?

Could you give more info on the recall please. Since the Adblue system was introduced ~7 years ago there have been, to my knowledge, two recalls, both ~2017. One was to do with the pump wiring harness, and one was to replace the Adblue tank cap. The first was certainly for C4 Picassos, but I don't know whether this affected other Citroens, the cap was on every Adblue fitted Citroen. I keep an eye on several forums and I am well aware of the Adblue tank issues, having a nearly had a holiday disrupted due to the tank failure, and there are dozens of threads on several sites. But I have never heard of a third recall. Can you shed any light on this?

C5 AIRCROSS: 1 October 2019 – 9 March 2020
A safety issue has been identified whereby there may be a defect in the urea injector, which might block and lead to NOx emissions going out of the regulatory limits.
Question - How do you determine the manufacture date? I took delivery of a new C5 Aircross in October but some of the earliest dashcam footage was from Feb/Mar (date is from memory and it was of the production line!).

I have reported my concern with the dealer who carried out the recall and it is booked back in later this week for them to have a look.
i have also raised my concern with Citroen but have not had a reply yet.
