 Hello to everyone.
I will soon get a C6, 2.7HDI.
Will glad share and look for information here.
It's a family car that will come to my hands now.

It's one of my favorite big cars, and so I am very excited.

At the same time, being a discontinued car I am a bit worried about maintenance and repair costs. I want to keep at pristine conditions and know it will cost me.

Soon will post some pics.

Thanks for your support! I am sure will have it here.
BTW, Anyone from Portugal in this forum yet?

 Hi and welcome. I think there is one other fairly active poster from Portugal and a business? that specialises in the Infotainment system.

 Bem vindo!

The biggest problem is the official dealership network, they are all terrible. I've tried a few of them, the worst was Citroën in Portela de Sacavém, the main dealership in Portugal. They are terrible.

I was about to sold my car because the maintenance service was terrible until I found out Auto Sousas* (please read note), also in Sacavém. They are top notch, really make an effort to see whats wrong with the car and won't start replacing parts just to try to sort things out, unlike other places.

Good luck with your C6, it's an amazing car. Maintenance isn't cheap, but compared with other cars of the same segment it's not that expensive either.

* I can no longer recommend them, they did a botch job on my car, went in with an issue, came out with another issue. It's the second time this happens but now they take no blame for it, bonnet was also heavily scratched. Waiting for Citroën Portugal to intervene in this issue.

Thanks Eduardo.
I thought I should stick to the official network; I will take your tip and check "Auto Sousas".
The car was always serviced in Coimbra and I guys from "Barreiros & Vilas" seem nice and knowledgeable of the car.

 If you go to the ICE/etc forum, you will find the RT3/3/5 specialist and there should be no problem with a PM
