Hi, I've recently purchased a 99(V) Xsara 1.4 54000 FSH, I'm having some trouble with the engine. The symptoms are:
- Slightly lumpy tick over although it's not enough to see on the rev counter.
- Lack of power, the revs drop off when the clutch is released, like doing a hill start.
- The engine sounds a bit clattery at times.
- The fuel consumption is not bad to be honest.
Now I've not had chance to have a look at it yet but I'm certain the head gasket is OK as the water and oil are fine. I seem to remember a while back of similar problems being discussed and wondered if this was a common problem on the 1.4 Regards
Howie
