C3 intermittent fault, cutting out power loss

Post by Bogman »

Hi There,

I wondered if anybody can help with a problem with my car, it has an ongoing fault, basically cuts outs, when this happens the Anti pollution message pops up.

I've had it looked at new filters, new EGR valves, on the last visit ,when I still had the problem after some cost, it showed a fuel injector not working properly, I've also had issue with the front vent filling up with water, due to a blocked overflow that resulted in the water making its way back in the car.

I wondered if this was somehow connected, I lost confidence in the garage I was using, due to the fact that they seemed just to adding and swapping parts but not getting to the bottom of the issue which was racking up some hefty bills.

Any advice on the fault or even a recommendation for a garage would be brilliant, I live near Selby in North Yorks , but work in Leeds, any decent garages between those areas would be fine.

Thanks in advance for any help .

Was it an Indy garage you took it to or a Citroen dealer? Reason I ask is that any decent garage would of had it diagnosed and given you the fault codes. If you have been given these can you post them here along with your VIN so we can determine the exact vehicle and engine type you have?

No codes given at the garage, I'm afraid.
I can post the VIN, that's no problem.
