Citroen Relay swb 2.0 HDi 2006

3 star review

I bought a swb 2.0 HDi brand new in July 2006 and in the main it has been reliable. It has now got 220,000 miles on the clock, only just had to have new wheel bearings fitted along with a clutch. The engine remains sound although very slow up hills. The only thing stopping me giving it a higher rating is the fact that the paint is peeling off all over the roof and bonnet, this started just after it was three years old. I have been having an argument with Citroen regarding the paint work but they just don’t want to know. I am now looking to buy another van but due to the paintwork it is unlikely to be a Citroen.

Citroen Relay 2006

4 star review

I bought a new lwb Relay about 3 and a half years ago, I’m a glazier by trade and its always loaded to the brim, in that time and seventy five thousand miles on it’s had a pair of shocks, 3 oil and filter changes and a Mot. It has never missed a beat, never let me down, I would not hesitate in buying a new one again.

Citroen Relay L1H1 STANDARD 2006

3 star review

Same as the first review. Build quality was poor. My roof has no paint on it, just a gritty primer I think. Numerous recalls, one being the steering rack reported on other review, same with the imaginary door open buzzer when going round roundabouts. Also taken back now for the fifth time with poor brakes, they have changed nearly all except the servo under warranty and still broke, going in to have the servo changed next week. Side door being repaired as it locked me in the van without being able to open it from the inside, then I couldn’t open it from the outside either. Windscreen washers have fell apart once and been replaced. This is a good one that caused me some havoc on the roads... when indicating, the corners of the van flashed the right direction but the mirror indicators flashed the other direction.. the solution by Evans Halshaw at the time was black tape over the glass till the fault was found (classic) and one more I can remember is the heaters are so useless I had them looked at... no problem says Citroen - it’s that bad I have bought an inverter for the van to convert 12 volts into 240 volts and I now have a 1000 watt electric heater plugged in by my feet! It was a lot cheaper than going down the diesel cab heater route for about 600 quid plus fitting... I have had the van 2 years and am now looking for something else as the warranty is about to expire.. all this from brand new.
