sluggish pull away hdi c5 automatic

Post by trevsw »

my sister in law and mother have both owned citroen automatics and they both seemed to need a lot of wellie to move away form stationary position - much more than other autos i have driven.

my citroen c5 hdi auto has the same issue and wondered if there is any way of improoving this?

many thanks

ZF boxes usually pick up quickly with not much slipping. I find Aisin and older Jatco boxes a lot more slushy that ZF.
Apart from the mechanics of the box, some car company's software can have a bearing on feeding the power in.
They will benefit from fluid changes.
