Hi, I have not owned a Citroen before and I thought I would try a C5 (2004 Hdi 2.0 110 bhp).
Thanks to the advice from people on this forum I have been able to sort out most of the issue on the C5.
But I still find it a little unusual to drive in that the engine appears to have most of its torque and Bhp developed at a low rpm.
What I mean by...

I've had two C5's , a 2.0hdi 8valve and 2.2hdi both nice cars to drive but as you say seemed lazy next to my wife's 1.9dci Laguna she had at the time . Very comfy cars though.

Why do they make different grades if 0W30 is suitable? Probably cost I would think. 5W30 has got to be cheaper under normal circumstances than 0W30 and 5W40 covers a different temperature range.

In a nutshell, GL5 has additional anti-friction additives. These can interfere with the action of the sychromesh on some manual boxes, resulting in baulky changes, and can also attack copper- and brass-based components in the box. For this reason, where GL4 is specified, it should be used.

GL5 does not supersede GL4, which some suppliers might...

I stand corrected, I had mis-remembered the rules. Cars which were factory fitted with Xenons AND built before 2010 don't need washers, Xenons with power of less than 2000 lumens don't need washers.

Hi Faddy, not going to be much help here, but as you have an auto I assume it also has the Hydropneumatic suspension, it sounds as if the vibration only happens when the car is warm, I am thinking, engine mount or the exhaust bouncing around.

Whilst I believe the RHR does have the turbo oil filter, the injectors don't contaminate the oil if they leak carbon as they are not under the rocker cover.
