Does anyone on here drive a Citroën C3?

Because mine drives me mad, no pun intended. It's regularly coming up with "engine fault, repair required" management light messages yet every time I've taken it to get checked there's nothing actually wrong with it and the mechanics just tell me the censors are sensitive.

Really pissing me off!! Car is serviced annually, oil checked regularly, tyres okay and sounds / feels fine but these bloody sensors just won't stop. It even said something about the radio not being fully functional apparently.

Does anyone else on here have this hassle?

I had a 2015 C3 for two years until I replaced it last year. That light first displayed about 2 months after I bought it. It was eventually diagnosed as being an issue with the catalytic converter. I had to get it through the MOT so I had to pay for it to be fixed, not cheap! The tyre pressure light also came on a couple of times, but I knew the tyres were fine so I was thankfully able to reset that. Then there was that business with the airbags, I couldn't use my car for two months while I waited for an appointment to get them replaced.

I wouldn't have a C3 again if I could avoid it. I now drive a VW Polo and it hasn't given me any issues in the 8 months I've had it!
