Hello everyone,

On Sunday whilst driving on the M1 my car threw a massive wobbler and lost all power, went into limp mode and showed ASR/ ESP fault with the engine light illuminated, running like a bag of nails too. Obviously first concern was to get off safely and home.

Car went to dealer on Monday which diagnosed an injector fault requiring replacement which along with associated parts comes to the grand total of £1337.00!! The tech. said that because of the fault code displayed (P2062) that Citroen might contribute something, which they have (paying for parts).Guess which part of the bill is greatest!!

Given that there wasn't any warning that this was going to occur I mentioned that if this one component is faulty then its is likely that the other three will turn up their toes in sympathy and might be a good idea to change them all but I've not had a response from Citroen UK

The car is not yet 6 yrs old was purchased new and has only done 20000 miles, it's also been serviced by same main dealer from new, we've been really happy with it until now and don't really want to change but when used it's for long journeys often on motorway or rural roads.

Any thoughts on a possible way forward greatfully recieved

I had an issue with a C3 1.6HDi, with a permanent 'get engine fixed' warning. I took it in and they diagnosed an injector fault. They wanted over £1000 to fix it. As I had a warranty I wanted it done under that. Turned out the quote was to replace the faulty injector and the 3 non-faulty ones as well. Of course the warranty would only cover the essential work, so one injector was changed and programmed, and its been fine ever since.

Hi Routemaster,

it's interesting that the quote you received was to replace all 4 injectors whereas the work done on my car is for replacement of only one.

Do you know what fault code was associated with your problem?

Thanks

I had the same issue, was on the motorway and car went into limp mode. It was under warranty which was about to finish in 5 days so the dealer changed injector number 2 and didn't have to pay anything.

Since then it has had injector number 3 seal changed and few other bits and bobs happening to the car on a regular basis.

My overall experience of owning the first-ever Citroen has not been very good but I am still loving the car.

Visit a diesel engine specialist. The DV6 engine is in many many vehicles, private and commercial. They are arguable more knowledgeable and experienced than yer average Citroen dealer.
