The Citroen has now been sorted , which includes the cover over the engine and the wiper motor.

However it did not cover the enlarging of the holes in the ends of the scuttle nor scuttle replacement.

I spoke directly to the technician and we agreed that any water that enters the engine bay falls harmlessly and would not cause any issues.

HOWEVER that does not include the small holes . When I suggestec enlarging these he agreed that on the offside it would be an advantage BUT on the nearside it would cause water to fall on the ABS cntyrol unit.

Bear in mind these were his NOT Citroens view.

I am fairly practical and will enlarge both holes and fit drain pipes ( as previously suggested)

I posted a while ago about the pipework leading to the water expansion tank being liable to break . This part which broke on our van was replaced and is now re routed OVER the new cover

Interesting as I have not seen any reference to this by anyone else. The solution is good but why ?

The opinion also is that Citroen MAY issue a further recall rtegarding the small drain holes !!!!!

As an aside there was a new software download which appaently affects performance and I have to say that the trottle response has been vastly improved particularly in 5th and 6 th gear.

This is a very recent modification , within the last 6 weeks it seems

interesting development today.

I was called by the dealer to say that there was another recall for the van, if I could take it in today itr would only take 15 minutes to resolve.

It seems trhat the fuse needs replacing on the vehicle battery, but I could not ascertsin if this was a safety issue or a minor problem.

Anyone else heard of this one?

The battery fuse has been on the recall list for some time. I understand that is is mostly a check that the correct fuse has been fitted. Mostly they have.

This sort of recall is not uncommon on any vehicle. Until recently I did not understand that when you car goes in for service it is not that uncommon. Recently our 8 year old car had a switch just replaced to a hight spec one. It operated the rear view mirror.

Hi.

I have have the scuttle changed by Fiat, but the gap-fix did not last for long.

Ended up wit a small lexan plate (about 4cm. X 10cm.), warmed it up and formed it, so it fitted under the scuttle-gap.

Filled the gap on the scuttle and the upper side of the lexan-plate with Tec 7, and drilled 4 holes through the scuttle / lexan plate. Then used 4 small stainless selftapping screws trough the scuttle / lexanplate.

Sounds like a ugly-looking project, but i
