With the arrival of the new V6 HDi FAP 240, the Citroën C5 and C6 are now proposing a change “win-win” for customers. Both sedans are a new step in the field of accreditation, with benefits in terms of driving pleasure of silence and even more accomplished performance while offering a substantial reduction in their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions 12 to 15%.

Citroen C5 and C6 3.0 V6 HDI 240 FAP

The most powerful diesel engine in the history of the brand provides two sedans range of advantages that further enhance their approval unanimously recognized. To achieve this level, the V6 Diesel has evolved into depth. Its 3-liter engine now achieved, and has received multiple optimization work: new system for direct injection common rail (common-rail) of the third generation, combustion chambers next-generation supercharger provided by a system with 2 turbochargers with variable geometry, exhaust gas recirculation system and energy recovery during deceleration.

The power output up 18% to now 177 kW (or 240 bhp EEC) at 3,800 rpm with maximum torque of 450 Nm Plan 1600 rpm. Always coupled to a gearbox 6-speed automatic, the combined cycle fuel consumption of 2 vehicles is only 7.4 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 195 g / km, which represents a decrease from 12 to 15%.This new mechanic course meets the future Euro V emission standards

SURPRISING BENEFITS, THE DOUBLE BENEFIT OF THE CUSTOMER AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The changes with the adaptation of the V6 HDi 240 FAP allow a spectacular gain in terms of licensing and driving pleasure while allowing a significant reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The new engine has a maximum torque of 450 Nm The latter guarantees a great car to drive in daily use of the vehicle has some outstanding features:

• The maximum torque (450 Nm) is constant from 1600 to 3600 rpm, that is to say over a speed range that is more than ample for current usage of the vehicle.
• The available torque is greater than 400 Nm from 1400 to 4100 rpm.
• The value at 1500 rpm is 422 Nm – more than 17% HDI 208 2.7 V6 engine replaced – the guarantor of takeoffs even more effective.

These features result in performance improvement. The maximum speed progresses, are remarkable acceleration (0 to 100 km / h in 7.9 and 8.5 s for the C5 and C6 – the kilometer standing start in 28.5 and 29 seconds respectively) and rose again ( 80 to 120 km / h in 4.9 and 5.2 seconds).

Correspondingly, the fuel represents a net decrease. The combined cycle fuel consumption is only 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers for two models with CO2 emissions of 195 g / km. The latter value corresponds to a decrease of 12% and 15% C5 on C6. For the French market, this evolution also allows a saving of 850 € in the bonus-malus scheme (penalty of 750 € instead of 1 600 €).

The V6 HDi 240 FAP: THE HEART OF EVOLUTION

It is obvious that the net progress of these vehicles are primarily due to changes made to the engine. Significant changes have been adopted to enable it to reach its present level.

A cylinder increased to 3 liters
First, the capacity is increased from 2 721 to 2993 cm3 by a change in the bore and racing. This increase allows the Citroën C5 and C6 to be at the heart of the market for diesel V6.

A common-rail system of third generation
The power is entrusted to a system such as common rail for all engine variants of the HDI range. The novelty lies in the fact that this system now allows pressures up to 2000 bar cons before 1650. The injector nozzle, as against 6 to 8 holes before, allow even finer metering of fuel to the cylinders. They may still allow up to 5 injections per cycle: one or two pilot injections, two main injections and post-injection to treat pollutants. The nozzles used to homogenize the distribution of fuel for better combustion. The result is a noise reduction and treatment of polluting emissions “at source”.

Injectors, have a system for activating the piezoelectric needle placed in the middle of the latter to reduce their emissivity. Moreover, the injection pump delivers only the fuel needed for the proper functioning of the engine, the fuel return to tank is greatly reduced, allowing a decrease in temperature of the fuel and energy savings.

These various features have allowed a much greater responsiveness of the engine, reduced consumption and therefore CO2 emissions. Furthermore, these amendments allow a reduction in combustion noise, f

Valeo proposes to democratize hybridization using different systems according to the French equipment allow a 15% reduction in emissions. Why Valeo offers a variety of components that hybridization cheaper overall.

Hybridization is the comprehensive solution developed – and democratized – by Toyota with the Prius and generally adopted by manufacturers. It has the advantage of offering good emission reductions but it has against it to be very complex to develop and relatively expensive which confines them to certain models only and prevents its democratization.

Valeo’s solution is slightly different to be replicable and applicable to virtually all existing models and thus to lower system cost. This is obviously centered around a “super-alternator starter” greater power and a stronger battery to enable the classic start-stop but also take off even very short distances on electric mode only .

Unlike a hybrid global, no engine power does not entail the wheels directly . The starter-alternator is type STARS – similar to that appeared on the C3 Stop & Start in 2004 – but in addition to allowing the engine restart, it also allows the training of the alternator belt what drives the pistons, the connecting rods and the crankshaft. The valves are closed, the engine is off but “turns” always and only for the driver the absence of noise is noticeable.

Less efficient than a global solution, this hybridization light has a reasonable cost and still allows a 15% reduction in emissions. “With the program Hybrid4All, our systems will, of course, lower CO2 reductions, however, that we will compensate largely by the number of vehicles in circulation, because the system is very affordable and easily duplicated on all vehicles to our customers, “ said Henri Trintignacprogram director for Valeo Electrical.

Smaller reduction but applied to many more people. That’s according Valéo which should lead to lower emissions even more important. If the OEM manufacturers convinced, then it could mean the democratization of the Stop & Start.

The information reported by the expert group show that the manufacturer has fitted the camshaft with an anti-vibration called “Damp”

Only the crown elastomeric damper is obviously a wear part and the user is confronted with a new piece that will necessarily be replaced by time and mileage.

As is often around 120 000 km, this damper yields and abnormal noise occurs, if the diagnosis is not quickly established, the risk is rupture of the timing belt and engine failure.

So do not overlook the interview, because the garbage with only 30,000 km passage to the servicer becomes scarce.

If you believe the information given by France Info and again by our colleagues from Blogauto (and a few others), the 1.6 liter HDI is a victim of mechanical problems related to the turbo. This mechanical problem is not really about the reliability of said turbo but its lubrication system.

It seems that from the suction 40.000km and not the filter becomes blocked, causing overheating of mechanical turbo unlubricated and death of the turbine. According to many drivers who have experienced this problem, there would be no warning sign and when the turbo indicator lights on the dashboard it is already too late because in the seconds following a beautiful plume of black smoke out of the exhaust, poor engine 1.6 L HDi loses power and the turbo finally passes away.

This great moment past, you just have to make the workshop qu’avous Prairie and your checkbook since the change of Turbo will cost a whopping $ 2,000 to € 2,500 depending on the workshops, the amount of compensation and the mark because the engine block is used by:

Citroen, Ford, Mazda, Mini, Peugeot, Volvo

According to marks, makers of the VAS may be a participation, management of expenses that can be up to 50% depending on the case and if it submits its rights. For medicine, nothing officially announced yet but it seems that a reduction in space between oil changes (every 10,000 or 12,500 km instead of the strange new préconnisations announce that 20,000, 25,000 or 30,000 km between services) and quality oil (5W40 or 0W30 in synthesis) enable tèrd net risk reduction of breakage. More news to follow for these 6 brands of cars equipped with the same engine block of 1560 cm3 (ps: the Mini equipped with 1.6 L diesel engine since last spring are not affected because it is a block BMW).

Car sharing, it speaks to you? The idea is simple, it proposes to make available members of that car sharing, a fleet of vehicles available for the time required, and thus dispense with the requirement to own a car. Paris City Hall has created a label Carsharing (carsharing Paris) assigned to five players including carsharing Carbox. The latter joins Citroen to develop a range of car sharing power in companies and communities, through the model the C-Zero.

The Citroen Connected business and will offer a 100% electric car sharing. ” Developed by Citroen France Business, in partnership with Carbox, this offering enables enterprises and communities to dispose of Citroen C-Zero car sharing “can be read on the site Purchasing Decisions.We learn that other brand vehicles could reach this offer … Carbox already has clients like L’Oreal, Airbus, or Societe Generale. With this offer electric, are new services which are included in the packages? Indeed, besides the usual operations for maintenance and cleaning, but also the reservation systems and opening of cars per badge, here we must take into account the specificity of the car. Thus, we must act on the guidance in the implementation of charging infrastructure or the remote monitoring of battery charge. In all, it is called a surcharge of 20 to 25% compared to the vehicle sold to individuals.

The first Citroën C-Zero will arrive in 2011. ” The cost of an electric vehicle becomes competitive when its use is high. Businesses and communities are asylum-optimization tools to their rotation, and therefore sharing“, says the brand.

It is written large on the Citroën stand. “C-Zero – The 100% electric vehicle already sold.” If this is not completely wrong, it’s not completely true … which indicates a bit in the argument for Citroen, this is “already”, while Japanese production of the Mitsubishi MiEV certified for Europe and for rebadgée PSA has only just begun.

Subtlety on stand Citroën. While it is true that the C-Zero is available for order, it is for now not even available to test with the French concessions! Some vehicles have traveled a few miles Presse in Paris, but marketing is much more fresh than announced, since the distribution and maintenance is still pending … Production of C-Zero and the Ion just started last Oct. 6 in Mizushima, Japan. Deliveries should not start in Europe for several weeks.

To correct so I would rather “Citroën czero, The 100% electric vehicle coming soon” … but it is – it is true – now less and less reassuring seller for the potential buyer!

I will do you no insult to you (re) present the C4 generation, everything has been said hereand the prices are there. Here is a brand new series of official photographs waiting to discover the C4 live at Global Auto.

She did not need but it will still get a facelift, the Citroen C5, at least to match the latest creations of Chevrons. Rest assured, it will change little, the amendments essentially that adorned the front now unavoidable LED daytime running lights.

Oddly, this Citroen unveils restyled with a brochure that you’d escaped the net … The taillights adopt a translucent strip in the middle and the inside … do not change! In short, this lift does not disrupt the fans of the big sedan does not disappoint the owners of the first version.

Only novelty on the mechanical level, the emergence of a version e-HDi, equipped with the 1.6l 110 hp. The C5 will discover the true world car.

We know the success of the last generation of C5, provided, mark the rafter is not resting on its laurels in 2011 and offers us a C5 that follows the same line as the DS: more luxurious and better finished.

In mid-2010, no fewer than 200 000 copies were sold, including more than a third for the Tourer version. To perpetuate this success, Citroën has a new definition of the range C5 combines stylistic and technological developments.

Style changes are on the front headlights, which leds to adopt specific design and permit instant identification of the model. In mechanical terms, two major changes occur

Citroen DS4 for successful it is, I was disappointed over the DS3 receding frankly its sister technical C3 while the difference between C4 & DS4 is less marked, especially inside. Not to mention that a 4-door sedan, even if it attempts to masquerade as a coupe, the funny idea to offer fixed rear windows.

In short, it is a matter of taste and history to strengthen or refute an opinion, here’s a new official photo galleries.
