My wife has had a C3 pluriel 1.4 petrol with sensomatic gearbox for five months (2000 miles) On two occassions the engine has cut out and a ''transmission fault'' message has appeared on the display but on both occassions the car has started after a couple of hours and the dealer has been unable to find a problem. Claiming that no fault was logged on the E.M.S. computer.
Obviously my wife is now scared to drive the thing in case it cuts out in the middle of a dual carriageway or something.

Anyone had any similar experiences?

Does ur car have a BOSCH fuel injection system?? Honestly, l am unfamiliar with the C3, but l have had similar problems with the Peugeot fuel injected 1.9 litre petrol engine.
After ur engine cools down ('after a couple of hours') the sensors r set for a cold engine..it starts. A warm engine gives u problems! Same as my Peugeot. Removing,cleaning, & PRECISELY replacing some internal jet screws helped me.

Go to a NON-Citroen garage that has a Bosch computer analyser & get their opinion.
If l am wrong about ur fuel injection, just ignore me..
