2017 Citroën C-Elysée problems

The 2017 Citroën C-Elysée was sold with 2 engines that we have documented: the 1.2 PureTech and the 1.6 HDi. The 1.2 PureTech has serious faults that affect the cars of that year. The safest option is the 1.6 HDi (verdict “With caution”). Outside the engine, one documented fault affects 2017 cars, such as airbag control unit damaged during transport to the factory (November 2017 production).

Our score goes from 7.4 in 2016 to 6.1 in 2017. No longer affected by: dirty EGR valve and EGR cooler leaks (1.6 HDi). Starts to be affected by: airbag control unit damaged during transport to the factory (November 2017 production) (rest of the car).

According to our score, the best are 2016 and 2015 (7.4/10). The year with the worst score is 2019 (5.6/10). Each year's score counts only the engines sold that year and the faults that affect those cars.

The most important ones documented for 2017 cars are: oil-bath timing belt degradation (1.2 PureTech, critical severity), airbag control unit damaged during transport to the factory (November 2017 production) (airbags and safety, critical severity), adBlue tank and pump fault (1.6 BlueHDi) (1.6 HDi, medium severity) and additive-fed particulate filter (Eolys cerine): depleted additive and clogging (1.6 HDi, medium severity).
