Greetings from the Netherlands

Post by Sjoegerd »

Greetings all!

Hello from the Netherlands. My name is Sjoerd, I'm 29 years old and living with my girlfriend and our three furry friends. I work in the parts department of a VW/Audi dealer :oops: , but used to work at a Peugeot dealer.
I found this forum to hopefully find more technical information to fix our baguettes on wheels.

My first car was a Citroën AX and since then I was hooked to the (kind of) simplicity of the Citroën and Peugeot cars. Cheap to run, pretty easy to fix and parts for good prices (and I needed some :roll: ).

A few months ago I bought a Citroën Xsara 1.6-16v Exclusive with an automatic gearbox for my girlfriend (she likes some Citroëns also, her dad drove BX and now a C4 Picasso). It is a joy to drive, very comfortable and quiet compared to the Saxo we also have.

Unfortunately, the Xsara has some issues, thanks to this forum I fixed some of them but not all of them. I will make a separate topic about this soon.

I hope to fix the Xsara with the help of you and maybe I can contribute to the community as well!

With kind regards,

Sjoegerd

Hi Sjoerd,

I’m sure you’ll find loads of help here, it’s a very well managed and good source of information with very knowledgeable people! But are you aware that there is a very good Dutch Citroën forum which might be useful too?

Hi furriegurrie,

I'm aware of the Dutch Citroën Forum. I'm also getting a lot of information from it, but thanks for noticing!

Hi Sjoerd

Welcome to the forum. Hope you get all of your problems sorted.
