Re: Engine fault on the dark side

Oh dear, think I have that motor in my Citroen C6. Is it a common fault or just isolated?

Re: Engine fault on the dark side

It's normally a fairly reliable engine that one, but another bad design in the discovery, is the need (unless you';ve got double jointed hands, fingers like ET with mirrors on the end) to remove the body to change the fuel pump drive belt on the back of the engine.

 

It can be done in situe, but fiddly.
