Petrol v Deisel over 15k miles

KIAOWNER

My personnal opinion is keep away from Diesel especially Citroen, if you do low mileage. We have a Citroen C3 03 plate 47000 miles on the clock & in May 2011 the engine went. There was thick smoke coming out of the exhaust, power failed & it sounded like a bag of marbles (awful). Took it to the Citroen dealer and they put it on the diagnostic machine & they said it was the turbo censor, so we had that replaced all together that repair cost just short of £180.
Exactly 4 months later we had the same problem return:eek::mad:, so we took it back to the same Citroen dealer and they yet again put it on the diagnostic machine, this time it came back with injector No.1 faulty & it would cost just short of £500:(. We decided it's not worth it considering there are 4 injectors in total (will injector No.2 go in a couple of months etc...) will we end up having to replace them all eventually?
Considering it's only done 47000 miles on an 03 plate being serviced regularly it's frustrating. :mad:
So my opinion is keep away from Diesel Citroens as looking at Citroen forums it's happened to other owners!!!!!!:mad:

We have now brought a new Kia petrol ready to be picked up at the weekend, as our second car is a Kia we have had for 11 years now with no problems:D
