• Citroen C8 16 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  HJ (in his car by car breakdown) mentions problems with water ingress into airbag ECU. Ours went in for recall but was not fixed correctly. As a result the car has had to go back in (the electrics started to play up big time) and our dealer cannot give us a delivery date for the required parts
