New Mk1 C5 owner from North East England
Posted: 07 Sep 2012, 09:37
Hi all,
My names David and I'm from Newcastle-Upon Tyne, England, although currently living "down south" in Durham..
I have just bought a Nov 2002 (52) Citroen C5 2.2 HDi SX Auto Saloon, in boring silver. Luckily the rest of this quirky car is far from boring!
I did my research regarding FAP/DPF issues, and the car I have bought had the Eolys fluid replaced 12 months ago, along with a brand new FAP. It is driving fantastically and displaying no "anti-poluttion" or "Diesel Additive Low" type errors.
Despite this, I will 100% be getting the FAP removed and mapped out. I was thinking of using a place called Energy Tuning UK, who are 30 miles from me, in Ashington, Northumberland. (http://www.energy-tuning.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)..... just wondering if anyone has used these?
I paid a paltry £575 for the car, taxed and tested and with a huge service history. As well as the recent FAP / Eolys, it had all calipers, discs and pads replace (£650 bill) in April of this year.
It does only have a short MOT at present but I'm confident it will go through with little if any work, in October.
I'll post up some pics soon.
Great to be hear - good forum! (I've had a poke around already).
Cheers,
David (Longyear)
