A couple of weeks ago, I took the 2011 C5 into Perth City Citroen and had a 110,000km service. At the bottom of the 3 page document there were some recommendations:
Battery charging sensor unit *
RHF top link engine mount snapped
Airdoser needs replacing *
Vacuum pipe needs replacing *
Fuel high pressure pump gasket needs replacing
Coolant flush
Fuel filter change
Fuel injector max service *
induction service *
Throttle position sensor needs replacing *
As I love the vehicle, I am happy to have whatever is necessary to keep it running reliably. But I just wonder about some of the items I've marked * because I have no idea what they do.
ANy thoughts would be welcome.
I notice, by the way, that there is some corrosion around the negative battery terminal which they didn't clean off. Could that be something to do with the "battery charging sensor unit"? The battery is just 3 years old, and is a Century Dual Force which Battery World assured me should last 7 years.
I now notice that the top link engine mount fault was registered in 2020, but not in 2021 or 2022. It was also reported the the rocker cover gasket should be replaced in July 2020, ($872 !!) but has not been noted since. Similarly, it was noted also in February 2020 that the brake rotors had lips and should be replaced. Never been done and not noted even though the car has been serviced every 12 months at around 10,000 km intervals.
Well, it does make me wonder................
