Citroen C6 rich running issue
Summary of the thread
A 2007 Citroen C6 diesel is experiencing a rich running issue, characterized by reduced power, a check engine light, rough engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and jerking during acceleration. The problem may be due to a faulty fuel injector, as similar symptoms were resolved by replacing the injector in another case. It is recommended to have the injectors checked by a professional workshop for accurate diagnosis and repair.

Thanks. I haven't checked the spark plugs yet, as mine is a diesel. I replaced the air filter roughly 20000 km ago. What was the problem in your case?

Ah, sorry, I missed the diesel part. In my case, it was a faulty fuel injector. The increased fuel consumption and rough running were the key indicators. I'd advise getting the injectors checked by a workshop; it's not easily diagnosed without the proper equipment. The repair cost about 515€, but it solved the issue completely.

I appreciate your help! I'll get the injectors checked at a local workshop ASAP. It's good to know what to expect. Thanks!

I also drive a Citroen C6, though not the same year. Your symptoms sound familiar to a problem I had. Have you checked the spark plugs or the air filter recently? A clogged filter can cause the engine to run rich, and faulty spark plugs definitely won't help.
