 After almost 2 years of ownership and nearly 130k this month has finally taken it's toll.
After owning a Xsara Picasso for 4 years as a taxi (Most reliable car i ever owned) i bought a C4 GP.
Maybe I was unlucky but the vehicle has been the worst car I've owned in 20 years of taxi work, This month alone it has cost me £2500.

I have always had Citroen or Peugeot vehicles but this experience has put me off of them for life and I will not be buying any other cars from either manufacture.

 What cost you £2500 then? At a guess I'd say Gearbox, clutch, DMF and probably suspension parts???

 Eolys bag replaced again as last one ruptured (4 months out of warranty).

Gearbox rebuild 2 weeks ago.

Turbo being replaced this week.

Thats just in the last 3 weeks the gear change modual has been replaced as well last November £1040.

Clutch/Flywheel and slave cylinder changed £1000

I've owned some piles in my time but this one takes the biscuit.
