After it's last MOT (Sept 2015) it developed a leak NS front - long story, but it ended up at the local Citroen dealers with a bill of £1600+.
The bill states they replaced the low pressure and high pressure pipes, hydraulic unit and of course fluid (3ltrs). This was in February @93685 miles.
Last week as I was following a slow moving lorry up hill when the "Service" light beeped and came on, quickly followed by all of the suspension lights.
As I was in the middle of nowhere I drove 3-4 miles to the next town as nothing seemed to have changed with the suspension or steering.
The RAC noted that the fluid reservoir was empty but could not replace it and after inspection could not find any obvious leaks. As I don't have recovery (that will change this renewal!) a friend got me the correct fluid, we topped up the tank (1ltr) and drove carefully to my destination checking every few miles for leaks and fluid use but non were found. A week on, and after having it checked with a local garage, I have driven the car home with the same 1 ltr of fluid still in the reservoir. The service light and suspension lights still come on after a few hundred yards. Garage found that the car does not respond when the height switch is used, and there is "dampness" on the chassis under the reservoir and where the new pump has been fitted but can see no obvious leaks, spheres seem ok too.
As I can't afford another large garage bill I want to take it back to Citroen in the hope that it is something that is under guarantee (£60+ charge just to put it on the ramps!!). Is there anyone out there that can advise i) what the likelihood is that it is something to do with the work carried out in Jan/Feb, or ii) what is the possibility I can get the problem fixed at my local garage at a fraction of the cost!!
