C5 Aircross

Unread post by erkan »

Greetings. I am writing to you from Turkey. I have been a Citroen C5 aircross owner since 2020. Between 2019 and 2020, there were problems in the paint of thousands of vehicles with black painted roofs that came to our country. I wonder if this problem has the same problem with Citroen C5 Aircross vehicles in your country? Thank you

Yes, it's a known issue with some models with the black (Noir Perla) roof that the paint can start flaking.

The resolution was a re-paint job and clear coat seal, which takes at between 5-6 hours + depending on whether there are roof bars fitted or not.

Models build at factory from 14th July 2020 had a new painting process.
