Question 1

What should I check on a used Citroën with the 1.2 PureTech engine?

Accepted Answer

The timing belt, which runs in the engine oil on most versions and can shed particles that block the oil pickup if it wears early. Ask for its inspection or replacement history and whether the oil grade Citroën specifies was used.

Question 2

How much road tax does a petrol Citroën pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Its CO₂ figure × the petrol factor of 0.6 × a band factor, so a third less than a diesel with the same CO₂. A petrol car at 100 g/km pays €36 a year, and one at 150 g/km €99.

Question 3

Is the THP engine in older Citroën C4s reliable?

Accepted Answer

The 1.6 THP turbo, shared with BMW's Mini, is known for timing-chain stretch and carbon build-up in its early versions. A rattle on a cold start and heavy oil use are the signs to look for.

Question 4

Is a plug-in hybrid Citroën taxed as a petrol car in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is taxed by the petrol formula on its official CO₂ figure, which is so low on a plug-in such as the C5 Aircross Hybrid that it usually pays the €30 minimum.
