Citroen C5 VTR 2004

4 star review

I love this car with its HDI 2.0 engine. The ride is smooth and the car seems very stable on the motorway. The engine is responsive and easily climbs hills much better than my previous Ford TDDI 2.0. The car has quite a bit of room for the driver and front passenger. I’m not short, but I have to pump up the seat to maximum height. This is a used car and the only problem I’m having in the interior fan stops working, but I don’t know what is causing it yet. I can’t seem to find out where the fuse boxes are either as they seem quite concealed compared to other cars I have owned. The stereo system is not all that great, but I’m pleased with it. I will definitely recommend this car and I will also be very happy to buy another Citroen C5.

Citroen C5 110BPH VTR 2004

4 star review

Hi! I bought this car at 7 months old with just over 16000 miles, it now has over 96000 miles. I have to say the best Citroen I have ever owned. The only problem other than general maintenance has been the alternator failing and that was over 90000 miles. I also had 2 rocker covers break shortly after the alternator, the car was nearly 6 years old, and fair credit to Citroen U.K, after writing to them they accepted and paid 30% of the bill, think that is great service. Other than these two issues, never had any problems and here’s hoping I get another few years worry free motoring. Cars age like the rest of us, so as they get older, problems do occur.

Citroen C5 20 HDi XS EST 2004

3 star review

I’ve had my C5 given to me by my brother. The engine I bought on eBay for £200 pounds -a bargain with 90,000 miles on it. I had the cambelt changed at 80,000 miles and I am well impressed with car performance and comfort in total. The car has cost me £245... well chuffed.

Citroen C5 2.2 deisel auto 2004

3 star review

Bought this car second hand. Automotively it has served me well. Even with the faults and warnings that were to follow. Recently the de-pollution light came on along with the servicing light. After short while this service light went out. At MOT all was well and the garage(non Citreon) checked and cleared the faults afterwards. Approximately 30 days after the de-pollution light re asserted itself. This was followed by a warning that there was a fault with the suspension and not to drive it above 55kph. However, the car would not start. No problem disconnect the battery for a few seconds, re-connect. Started first time and has at subsequent failure. Next we have a warning that the seat belt pre tensioners have a fault. Mechanically they operate fine. Lastly we have a warning that the tyres are under inflated. When we check they are not. So at start up I get:- Tyres under inflated, de-pollution fault, seat belt pre-tensioners possibly faulty. I’m now awaiting the next warning! Apart from these the car runs well, I like the car. I think the poor old EMS has become confused dot com and unreliable. OH before I forget this all started after giving the car a wash!!! Any worthwhile advice on these ailments?

Citroen C5 2.0 143 hp exclusive auto petrol 2004

5 star review

One of the best cars I have owned. The hydractive 3+ suspension offers superb ride. Increasing the ride height helps when the road gets uneven. Though there are some complaints like the car is to complicated. However it is a great car.

Citroen C5 2.2 hdi estate-exclusive 2004

3 star review

I have owned the car for two years, the engine is fantastic no problems, the ride is very comfotable, but over the last three months a few things started to go wrong. The boot interior lights , the button in the boot which raises the back of the car up and down, the rear wiper and then the tailgate opening button all stopped working. The back up power on the computer read empty . The car is out off warrenty. I thought this will cost me lots of money to put right, so I started to check the wiring myself. I found where the wires came from the car into the tailgate , in the top left hand corner covered in a flexible rubber tube. Three of these wires inside the tube were broken all in the same place. I repaired these and every thing now works, but I am sure more will break as the wire bends double everytime the tailgate is opened and closed. Citroen UK tell me they have not had any reports of this happening to any other C5 estates. I cannot believe this. If you have any of the above problems it maybe worth checking these wires. I would buy another C5 but I am disappointed with both by Citroen dealer and Citroen Uks lack of interest and response to my problem and solution.
