Hi new member here. Bought a 2012 1.6 HDi last week.
77k miles and one previous owner - it's a taxi.
Firstly, is the front suspension supposed to be as bouncy? On the motorway at high speeds the front end seems to bounce up and down far more than any other car I've owned. When I push down on the front end there's loads of travel. I've never owned a Citroen before having had Skodas and the ride quality on them could be harsh so perhaps this is just Citroen suspension?
There's also a noise from the N/S front suspension like a dry ball joint or worn droplink. This car sailed the MOT + strict taxi test last week with this noise yet they didn't even mark down an advisory.
Secondly there's a little whine when moving off from stationary before the auto box changes up to second this doesn't happen all the time but mostly when under load with passengers or going up a hill. Anything to worry about.
Otherwise really liking the car and the fuel economy is amazing.
Thanks for any input.
