Search results for I bought a 2006 citroeon c3 5 months ago on finance. The car had 37k miles on the clock. last week i could smell burning rang the dealer took it to citroen to be told that it needed a new head gasket this was covered under the warranty however while the car was stripped down the mechanic told me it also required a new timing belt and water pump which would not be covered to a cost of 350. told them I was not paying.. They then said the water pump would be covered by the warranty. I spoke to the dealer who said the timing belt does not need replaced however I feel I am being fobbed off he said it was only common practice to change timing belt along with the water pump and was not essential I feel I am being fobbed off here and am not sure what to do now?
