Citroën C5 V6 Exclusive, 2004, Helsinki

For sale: Citroën C5 V6 Exclusive, which has served as my daily car for the past 3 years. During my ownership, it has covered 15,000 km and now shows around 288,000 km. It has been extensively repaired during this time. It is no longer needed as the Citroën XM has taken over daily duties.

The first-series Exclusive trim was only available with the V6 or 2.2 diesel engine. The V6 differs from the rest in its handling, with a more sporty character. For example, the hydropneumatic suspension spheres have different pressures than on the other engines, and the anti-roll bars are thicker and always equipped with hydraulic stiffness adjustment. The V6 combines Citroën's traditional comfortable ride with excellent cornering in Sport mode. Good-condition summer tyres on original Exclusive wheels, plus good-condition studded winter tyres on alloy wheels. The car is also equipped with a Defa battery maintainer.

Replaced during my ownership at least:

• All wheel bearings.

• All door locks and the BSI unit.

• All steering column stalks with original parts.

• Rear brake discs and pads, and front brake calipers.

• Valve cover gaskets sealed and ignition coils on the rear bank replaced.

• Radiator fan and both resistors.

• Heater blower resistor.

• Catalytic converter replaced.

Appendices include the service history and repairs carried out during my ownership.

During the previous owner's ownership in 2020-2023, although no receipts are available:

• All suspension spheres.

• Timing belt.

• Windscreen replaced.

Faults:

• The driver's seat heating has been replaced, but there is apparently a contact fault, as it is not very reliable; it heats well when it works.

• The radio power button has a contact fault. Turning the radio off and on is sometimes difficult. There are instructions online for cleaning the contacts.

• Slight hydraulic leak from the left front corner, apparently from a connection in the power steering pipes.

• Slight oil leak from the engine, apparently from the front crankshaft seal.

• Minor scratch on the right front wing and front bumper.

• Paint worn at the top of the driver's door opening where the door seal touches.

• The gearbox sometimes downshifts a little abruptly between 1st and 2nd gear.
