Citroen c5 woes

Post by StevieOMG »

Well what a day. On leaving hospital this morning, car decided to leave a massive bang from the rear passenger side. Whilst driving rear suspension has clearly given way as it was bouncing up and down on every uneven surface. Over a total of about 12 miles the power steering also began to fade. On arrival home, suspension pump has clearly had enough and will now not operate. Car now on bump stops. I feel a call to the scrapper coming on.

Are you sure the fluid has not leaked hence the steering fading?
Check the fluid level 1st, maybe not too bad!!!!!.

This^.
Sounds like a pipe has ruptured and dumped the LDS.
If the pump has run dry it could be cabbaged though.
