[Jack_and_MLE]

Hello everyone

I am looking into buying a 2013 C5 2.2 HDI tourer Exclusive.
The car did about 46K.

Can someone give me pointer a what to look for, how they are on a day to day basis?

Cheers

Jack

My wife has a 2008 2.0 Hdi, bought at a similar mileage, and I have a good friend with a 2010 version of the 2.0 Hdi. Both cars are over 100k now.

Big bills on my friends car had been a clutch (seem to remember abou a grand at an Indie), on my wife's car biggest bill, steering rack.....told this is not uncommon on cars with a "proper" Citröen suspension ... We were covered by warranty, but otherwise £1500 !! As only a genuine Citröen rack was available, no recon units.

Aside from this, a great car. Very comfortable ...,., we've done some long foeign journeys without many stops. Loads of toys in the hi spec ones, and looks great.

I find it more comfortable than my similar aged Jaguar XJ.

An old topic I know but I thought I'd contribute. I have a 2009 2.2 exclusive with the 173bhp engine. I think the later ones were 200bhp. Mine is on 98k and has been reliable in the 12m/20k I have had it. It's very comfortable and performs reasonably but is heavier on fuel than I would have liked (40mpg being the best I can get). Rear passenger space is cramped but front seats are great. Overall, I like it and would probably replace it with another.

Thank for the message

I bought one 2.2 Exclusive with full leather and it is very confi.
Only bad point is the sound systems which needs upgrading.

I use more fuel as well and I think it is because the car is so much quieter than the Audi I drive it a bit faster

A regular customer has a 607 2.2HDI.

I just serviced it, 240k miles on it now.

It also needed handbrake cables, 2 injectors and a cv gaiter, oh and a new starting battery (they have 2 batteries).
