Help!!! How Can I Get A Mechanical Expert To Repair My Citroen Car? by motherlode: 7:50pm On Jan 04, 2015
My fellow members of this forum, i hereby seek your help in finding a mechanical expert in repearing my dad's Citroen car even if i called it mine up there( title of post ) grin but seriously we are in need of an expert to do the job because from experience i believe road-side mechanics contribute to many problems associated with cars but in the case of CITROEN, experts in maintenance and repairs are scarce in Nigeria. The Citroen car which we used formally was butchered by the (condemn iron) they pay less! *sad* it was butchered simply because we couldn't get a competent mechanic after our personal mechanic left Lagos to occupy the position of a chief priest in his village cheesy grin funny but i don't want this second one to be butchered. undecided Please!!! wink

Citreon is closely related to peugeot as toyota is to lexus and honda to Acura and as our peugeot expert IKENNA would say, the LIONS don't perform well under abuse. Look for Mr Ikenna from the peugoet cars with attitude thread he may be of assistance.

I move the motion for (Mods please front page tins). Lol

Just seeing the thread now.

Could you post the VIN of the Xantia? The number starts with VF7 (V for Europe, F for France & 7 for Citroen).

I want to check Citreon database to know what engine, transmission model & type, year model, etc. I need the year model to know if it has OBD 1, OBD II or no scan port.

The 2.0 litre engine you said you saw written means the car likely have XU10 engine. Notwithstanding, send the VIN to confirm.

Any good Peugeot Mechanic can handle the Xantia powertrain, since the petrol versions all have XU & ES engines which you will find in 306, 406, etc.

I would suggest you acquire Diagbox for electrical troubleshooting, if has OBD 1 or OBD II scan port.

I am waiting for the VIN.

Op,

Your Dad will need the Peugeot starter DVD I produced last year. The DVD will prevent anyone from butchering his Citroens anymore. Find the link below:

The vol. II will be out soon.
