 Hello my Name Is Jose.

Not long ago I have bought a Citroën C-6 3.0 HDI with 150,000 km.
I hope to learn a lot in this place and help make the community bigger from the north of Spain.

He had been thinking about buying a C6 for a long time. My first memory of a Citroën with hydropneumatic suspension dates back to a family meal as a child. That day one of my uncles came up with the idea of ​​going down a nearby meadow at high speed with a GS, I found that strange green car with stainless steel fenders that seemed to float on the grass to be beautiful. My father had at that time a Talbot Horizon Diesel that I loved, but that Citroën had something, it left its mark on me.
At age 9, my family bought a BX trd turbo, a marvel in comfort and performance for that time. I could never forget about him. The CX and XM that I saw on the street as a child looked like cars from another planet, I loved them. .
Life took me to several cars of various brands, some reliable and others not so much. The only car I bought new was a VW Golf V 1.9TDI. That car with a reputation as a robust and reliable car, with high resale value and a safe bet, was a real fiasco for me. Many breakdowns and very expensive, a disaster.
Then I had two Mercedes diesels that have given an exceptional result and now that I don't need to do many kilometers I have decided to switch to this whimsical car.
I have been following Facebook groups about the car for years and knew more or less its peculiarities, its reputation is quite bad. Then I registered here and thanks to what you have written, I have spent some sleepless nights consulting with my pillow whether or not to buy the C6. Missing parts, congenital defects, burned instrument panels, cylinder heads, water box, valve bodies from the Aisin boxes ... n.orm: A scary movie.
In the end, I don't know if rightly or wrongly, I ignored the recommendations and she's already home.

I hope I was not wrong or at least not very wrong. At the moment the car has undergone a complete maintenance, with a change of engine fluids and gearbox. It is difficult for me to get used to the size, the automatic transmission and the sensations that the peculiar suspension provides, but for now everything works correctly and pleasantly, and the few trips I have made with it are tremendously satisfactory. I hope it continues like this for quite some time.

A big hug to all and I leave you some photos below.

 Welcome to the forum. Plenty of friendly, knowledgeable advice here.
May your new C6 give you much motoring pleasure.
3.0 HDi is the best C6 version in my experience.

 Hello Jose,

Congratulations on your C6. It looks a beauty. Plenty of support and expertise on this forum for all owners to help you on your journey. You made the right choice. I took our 2.7, which we now own 11 years on a longer than usual trip yesterday and the novelty has not worn off. A pleasure every time!!

Best regards,

Phil C.

 Hi there Jose,
Nice to have you here!
Because you probably have a RT5 radio with bluetooth, I would like to ask you for a favour. Hopefully you upgraded your RT5 with USB, if so could you send me your user_com.dat file? I am having troubles with outgoing(microphone) audio quality and I hope to resolve it by putting orignal C6 RT5 config file. (My RT5 comes from C4 Picasso).
Regards,
Jacek
