Hi,
The drivers side front coil Spring has just snapped tonight...luckily I was just starting to pull away when it went so I was able to stop as soon as I heard the twang.
I hate to think what could have happend if I had been on a Motorway when it went as the spring had jumped over the cup that it sits in on the strut & the sharp pointy end of the snapped spring was digging into the tyre.
I believe Citroen had a recall for this problem, does anyone know if the Xsara II hatchback was covered by this recall?
I'm sure I have have read somewhere of Xsara's having a modified part fitted to the strut to stop the spring jumping over the cup if it snaps?
Cheers.
