Hi I to have a ds3 sport and are having the same problems been back to the garage 4 times in a month and still no further forward....have you had any joy ?? Thanks

I am the owner of an 18 month old DS3 DSport, the 1.6 petrol turbocharged model.

For about 6 months now I have noticed occasions when the car has intermittently and irregularly idled poorly when cold, to the extend I have gone for the accelerator for fear of stalling.

More recently, the problem outlined above occurred when almost all acceleration was lost.

I took the car to my local Peugeot dealer who confirmed this symptom was not uncommon with this model of DS3 and in the past some cars had received contaminated fuel from the factory, had faulty temperature sensors and timing belt issues.

In fact, I am told that a certain fault code and the illumination of the engine warning lamp necessitates an official Citroen fix involving the timing belt.

Initially, I had no MIL illumination and thus the garage were uncertain of the issue. Yesterday, the loss of acceleration resurfaced and 24 hours later the MIL has illuminated. So the car is going back on Tuesday.
