Have you ensured it has plenty of Adblue? Any fault codes or warnings?


Ge best thing you can do is get it diagnosed to read the fault codes

Hi, and :welc: to the forum.

Might I also suggest you post up the vehicle VIN (which will, for security reasons, be obscured so only forum staff can read it) so that a Moderator can then look up your C3 and see exactly what it had when it rolled out of the factory.

OP says that there are no codes stored.

But the question is what code reader was used to check for faults. If it's a basic one then it may miss specific manufacture codes that a high end reader, or a proper Diagbox, would find.

@SeanDuffy What code reader did you use?

He didn’t mention a code reader at all and some refer to fault codes as EML or dash warnings.

There will be a 99.9% likelihood of a fault code for this sort of problem, but agreed it does need a decent compatible diagnostic tool to be able to read them. Ideally Diagbox.
