sounds about right for a Citroen dealership, my suspicion is timing related issues, as know it is about 500-600 labour. then deciding that the timing isn't the fault so not charging the customer for the timing belt as it is removed, but still want payment for the labour. great video Kev.

but a lucky new owner it seems, if car engine been looked after the engine just broken in as seen lot those reaching crazy miles like 400k,500k miles look after them and reg servicing and reg oil changes no reason why i could not hit 400-500k if not more miles. if new owners away from these fraud zones he got a car what last a very long if looked after. seen a breakdown of old taxi with 400k it a4 diesel if im right oil change every 6-7 k miles, the turbo only show wear of about 120k just shows reg maintenance and reg oil changes can really protect the engine and its parts

These drivers are amateurs at this really as you can still drive many cars even with very serious mechanical faults as demonstrated on many high streets in the UK now but the key is to use a very heavy accelerator pedal action and to fill the boot with large quantities of oil and coolant bottles and an optional fire extinguiser
