I owned a Vauxhaal Omega for many years and it gave me trouble free motoring, the C6 offered me almost what I had in my Omega spec wise which was another factor in my choice of the C6. So, would I buy another Citroen............No! Curiously enough, my daughter once had a Vauxhall. It cost me almost £1,000 when the timing belt jumped due to the plastic tensioner failing. That's the plastic tensioner that Vauxhall replaced with a steel one due to the high number of failures - but only after they had used up their stock of plastic ones! So, would I buy another Vauxhall?.........Never!!! Pete. |

Hi all, for replacement sensors I have found that these cost around £50-£60 each. Beware buying sensors off ebay, you might end up with old stock with a short remaining life. Also, the latest sensors if you buy from a reputable source have a much better annodising treatment which should eliminate the problems with corrosion leading to failure of the stem and suddern loss of pressure. By the way, I'm running with 2 new sensors and 1 new stem on my summer wheels. The 4th will get a new stem when the wheel is refubished. The winter wheels will have 4 off new sensors when they are fitted to the car (late November?). Regards G |

Good point G  I have just got my winter wheels and am waiting for tyre the e-bay link are £60 a pop so I went for this - Click Here -  I think National tyre sell them and fitt them for about £180? I got mine from the link provided Motormania (Performance center) as they are only 10 miles away. Should have all up and running next week. Whilst the display may be difficult to locate whitout looking add-on. I does come complete 4 sensors and monitor fully configurable, more importantly gives pressure readout and temperature. Here's Tyresures web - Click Here - oh you can get them direct £163 and replacement parts  to replace for valves and sensors might aswell get a new kit   BTW C6Dave I was going through some old files and found my early brochure "Timeless design" K10661 the one with Lamps-chairs-spoons as design comparitors, don't you just love those wacky french. I can scan if you like? unfortunatley the back has some writing on. |
