Citroen C3 Hatchback 2002

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The engineers who designed the engine/car should be ashamed of themselves. The alternator support snapped after changing the alternator belt, and it's a stretchy belt system...unpractical and impossible to fix without taking it to an expensive garage. Impossible to find spare parts as there were so many different variants and no easy way to determine one from the other using the engine code. I've owned 6 cars over 7 years and this is by far the worst in terms of faffing about and wasting time and money trying to fix a simple problem.
