i owned two citroen zx before first is the 1.9 , then the 2.0 volcane, not bad really enough for na engine...., but the best if you could give fully synthetic oil, then take care the thermal fan, . but body especially the bumper really strong....its really worth the money....i m looking for the 16v...really plush and somfortable too.
but before buying ...check properly....see the rpm meter when its idle....,see whether the rpm stable or not.if not that stable just above 2000 or up and down ...dont buy....
then the aircond...make sure there is no leaking or dont feel cold....because the aircond connencts with the radiator fan...then the condenser its abit expensive about 400.then the test drive ...try to take very sharp corner....see does it feels like throwing...to aside...if so it have problem with the stabilizer rod...., then milage laa...no white smoke or black or something.....then seee any signs of leaking at the engine parts or undercarriage.........ehhh contact me at [email protected]....i shall be able to advise u more k

Haha.. Last time test power with my friend's new accord vtec. A priced less than 20k car can win 140k car. I feel damn 9 lansi like my car's the fastest in the world.

The next day went test power with a stranger's 406. Kena tapao balik!

Zx can go very fast but not the fastest.

Peugeot 406 is featuring in the Movie "Taxi 2", can sapu BMW flat. :D Dun play play.

off topic: Seabiscuit, are you still working in Johor? Where is your bunny suits avatar? :D

 

[Seabiscuit]

haha... Last time got ppl say it is a violation taking pic in the fab. quickly take out lor.

Never work in JB b4 lar. All the while in s'pore.

zx kenot win 406 meh?? sure bot bro biskut? ehehehhehehee...

why last time i use can tapau them, but highway la...ekekekekee..:tongue:

 

[differ]

I'm very satisfied when all those kancil turbos and wira without the evo engines get smoked! Priceless!

Spent so much getting the body of a kancil and have a L2 engine installed and having to upgrades this and that baru 60 horse power when it cost around 15 k or more depending on the kancil and halfcut u get .... My ZX just need to step a little on the pedal, yes .. muka like that lah when I zoom past them.

I bought my Citroen ZX 1.9 for less than 9k. I'm laughing my ass off when all those L2, L5 owners who are ignorant cocky street hoggers wanna tunjuk-tunjuk. Citroen is good enough to teach all those perodua and protons in my neighbourhood a lesson.

My original ZX will smoke them anytime! Priceless when you own a cheap car that kick ass in Penang.

not much entertainment in Penang i take it.

Hi,
I owned a Citroen Xantia 2.0 Petrol Model 1994. I've been driving this car for 2 years now. The ride is really smooth if you know how to maintain. The Active Suspension system will cost you a lot as per mention above if you need to change all the spheres and hydraulic hoses. My Xantia has 6 spheres (3 front, 3 back) which will cost you ~RM300/spheres. The suspension is designed to be serviced at 50,000 km for Xantia and 100,000 km for C5 (correct me if I'm wrong).

I really love this car, but I really need to change to another car because I'm just a guy with normal income. :wavey:

If it is the ZX, then not really, but wiring sockets cannot last. Engine plastic parts too.....
