Starting difficulties and warning light on Citroen C3 petrol engine 2018: Possible cause and mechanic's experience

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Engine shuts off by itself

Car won't start

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 2018 Citroen C3 petrol (almost 126k kilometers on it). My car won't start, the engine just turns itself off and a warning light flashes in the speedometer. I suspect it could be the water sensor. Have you had similar experiences and how did you deal with this at your mechanic? I didn't have a good experience on my last visit. Looking forward to your advice, thank you!

Hey, I'm also driving a 2015 Citroen C4 and had a similar problem! It does sound like a faulty sensor, but in my case it was the cable connection sensor and not the water sensor. My car wouldn't start either and the same warning light was flashing. I then had it checked at the garage and it turned out that the sensor was broken. After the repair, it started again without any problems. It was already a serious problem, hardly any safety in operation. So it's better to have it checked, rather once more than once less. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for your reply! Great that you had the problem and were able to have it fixed by a mechanic. Do you happen to remember how much it cost you? And has anything else similar happened since then? I can't wait to hear what you have to say!

Hey, no problem! So, after I had my Citroen C4 at the mechanic, the malfunction of the water sensor was completely fixed. The trouble with the defective cable connection sensor cost me 365€. But it was really worth it! I now drive without any jitters. I haven't had a similar problem since. Hope that helps you!

Hey, thanks for your help! I'm really glad that I now know what I'm dealing with. Your experience also reassures me about the cost. 365€ sounds fair for the problem. I'll pay a visit to the mechanic now and explain the situation. I really hope that no further problems arise after that. Thanks again for your advice, it really helped!
