citroen c3 water in fuel warning - kitty
I have a recurrent fault on my 52 registered 1.4hdi c3. Over the past year on 3 occasions the fuel gauge starts to constantly flash. I read in the handbook that it is a warning to say water has been detected somewhere in the fuel system. By the time I manage to get it booked into the garage the flashing stops.

Each time it has lasted for a week and spontaneously stopped, and by the time it has been checked on the citroen computer it reads no fault detected.

I am out of warranty now so am wary of returning to citroen with the problem because of the cost implications.

Does anyone have any idea???

Thank you

if your handbook says that then the only logical place it can detect water is in the fuel filter,ignore what the computor says and get filter changed by a garage that knows what they are doing.
