Citroen Jumper: The Main Breakdowns

The main expenses on Citroen Jumper operation have to do with its front suspension. Balls and shock absorbers need to be replaced quite often as their life is somewhere about 50 - 100 thousand km. Stabilizator pillars are also to be changed regularly, every 40 - 50 thousand km. Some owners use the spare parts designed for heavier load-lifting Jumper versions in order to avoid frequent repairs.

Brake booster's vacuum pump drive is one more disadvantage. The drive of some modifications is set in motion with the help of a belt and the idler pulleys of this belt fail quite often because of the mud that gets into them. Casing protection can help to partially solve this problem however it is better to go for a version with a pump gear drive that is problem-free.

5-speed manual gearbox is trouble-free with the exception of fast 5th speed gear wear. What is more, some drivers complain of weak axles.

Diesel engines are very sensible to overheating. The consequences of temperature conditions violation include not only head distortion and gasket wear but also cylinder block barrier damage.
