Problems with electrics and navigation system in Citroen C1 model year 2008: Troubleshooting tips and solutions wanted

Hi, so I drive a 2006 Citroen C3 and had a similar problem with the ECU. I would say I have mediocre experience with cars. I took my car to the garage and they found out that the ECU was faulty. It was a costly repair, cost me 1000 euros, but I haven't had any problems since. So it could be that your car has a faulty ECU too. But to help you more accurately, could you please give me more details about your car? How many miles does it have on it, what kind of engine does it have and when did you start noticing the problems? That could be helpful.

Hi, thanks for your reply. My car now has 103382 km on the clock and is generally still running quite well. The problems started about three weeks ago. It's frustrating to see things just breaking down. I hope it's nothing serious or costly. Last service was six months ago. I probably won't be able to avoid taking the little one to the garage. Thanks for the tip about the control unit, I'll have it checked!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help. With over 100,000 km on the clock, such problems can actually occur. Yes, that sounds about right. It's definitely a good idea to have the control unit looked at more closely. Especially as you have already noticed such specific faults. In a similar problem with my Citroen C3, the main culprit was the same control unit. I look forward to hearing what comes out of yours. I would recommend you get several opinions to make sure you don't get ripped off. Good luck with the repair, I hope it doesn't affect you too badly. Please keep us up to date!
