bloody expensive c6

My first alarm bell for non starting was Fuel pump too... As this does NOT show up on the lexia.. I know this from a Xantia that died, Lexia showed nothing un toward either.. but the fuel pump had died.

Least theres pleanty of fuel pumps in land rovers...

Im GLAD its too far away!

I bet the car will make at least £1500, I have put a watch on it, but its a long way for me to collect

Looks interesting, why is the rear spoiler stuck up?

[Trainman]

Problem is that a Lexia is only half of the solution, good sound technical data is the other half and my training notes don't go further than Mk11 C5's.
Exits stage left heard mumbling "you don't want a C6" "but it maybe cheap and is top spec" you don't want a C6" "but it is a technical challenge" "YOU don't want a C6" "No all right, maybe....."

There are plenty of the technical diagrams available on http://www.C6owners.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looks interesting, why is the rear spoiler stuck up?

Could be a couple of things and neither is a problem:

1. Activated by Lexia - there is a function within the lexia to deploy the spoiler.

2. Activated by driver - If after turning the engine you press the wiper stalk, the spoiler deploys (for cleaning under it) and the wipers rise (to allow you change the blades)

Thought it would wet a few appetites, surely someone has the knowledge/blinding courage to buy it, id of thought citrojim could have sorted it before breakfast, would certainly make an interesting thread

Come on Paul, I mean it's not as if you don't have approval........... Sarah did say it would make a nice family car

[Deanxm]

Paul ive seen or worked on 4 Hdi's now with high pressure pump failure too, as you say it wont show on the diagnostic even though its cranking with poor pressure on the rail.

I've just spoken to the seller of the C6, it's located in Slough so not far for me to take a look at which is what I'll be doing in the morning

Apparently the car "Just stopped when it was being driven, no smoke or unusual noises but a few mechanics have looked at it and have advised either buy a new engine or get rid of it to recoup what I can" hmm,,,,,,

Potentially an interesting project, a complete PITA money pit or dare I say it a scrapper.

[Citroenmad]

The word liability springs to mind!

Could it have a snapped timing belt?

If I didn't have three Xantias that I'm far too much in love with and I I had the room then I'd be interested. Sadly, those two things stop me in my tracks...

[citroenxm]

fuel pump in the tank failure if fitted in those.. or engine pump... it really doesnt sound like a lot.. you find a lot of conventional mechanics or technicians see that its citroen and make any excuse to get rid because of past reputation which is sad....

Would be a fun project Richard.
Worst case is its scrap, in which case i bet you could recoupe all of the purchase cost and some by breaking it with minimal effort, i cant see the whole engine is shot, even if the cam belt had snapped it would be a long old job but doable surely? a few bent valves, maybe a holed piston or 4, are engines fitted to oter vehicles exactly the same as the C6's or are there block casting differences etc etc to make it fit in say a disco?

[Citroening]

Couple of things that look a bit 'peculiar' so to speak...

ONCE AUCTION ENDS PAYMENT NEEDS TO BE MADE VIA PAYPAL OR CASH ON COLLECTION WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Not got the best feedback either...

However, I do know someone that is bidding on it...
