The girlfriends dad has a 12 month old Citroen DS3 (the same 1.6T as the Mini Cooper S I believe)
About a week ago it started, on start up having the temp needle at the top and all the warning lights on/Stop etc
It was also losing some coolant. Citroen took it in and advised it needed a new waterpump (after 5,000 miles) as its a recall...
Ok so they did the job and the car was fine for a week or so.
Now it's started to put black some out the exhaust every now and then (it's petrol) and its not starting for 5/10 minutes when cold. Now the temp needle is back at the top and warning lights are back!
Any mechanically minded people have any ideas? It's going back in tommorow although no courtisy car available for a fortnight...
