bro,

citroen zx memang very good. puas memandunya, stability, power, reasonable space inside. maintenance pun ok kalau tahu mechanic yang baik. kalau duduk area ampang boleh pm saya utk kenalkan dgn mekanik citroen / peugeot / renault berdekatan.

saya dah guna sejak tahun 1997, memang sayang nak jual. sekarang ZX dah semi retired di kampung halaman, tapi skrg rasa nak ambil bawa balik ke KL utk diguna sebagai weekend car. Tinggal di kampung pun jarang guna, akhirnya rosak juga.

engine ZX 8V memang bullet proof, diakui oleh mechanic Citroen sendiri.cuma jangan lah tekan macam kereta F1.

maintain it properly, and it will give you driving satisfaction for years to come.

hope you will find a good unit soon.

regards.

Dear All,
My Evasion engine gave way and had to replace it due to a worn crankshaft,
FYI, the engine IS not the same as Xantia or ZX, but only has the same CC, even the gaskets are not the same,
I had one sourced from the XM 2 litre.which is same,
So don't be confused by people who don't know their facts.

Checked with my trusted Citroen mechanic on whether 2.0 8V engines for ZX & Evasion are the same. His reply:
Sama, boleh pakai. Cuma Evasion ada lubang pipe kat block.

There you have it. This mechanic uses Evasion, Xantia, ZX and Xsara.

Rgds.

Sumo, then you better change mech,
go check the specs again, Evasion XM have higher torque for heavier load,
open the eng, the crankshaft different, conrods different, cylinder head
different, engine can fit maybe but if used on Eva with the heavier load, it
will not last long.

hello,
saya la ni pakai evasion manual, paddle clutch n throttle keras.. nak tau juga zx ni pun same ker?.. cdg nak pakailah zx nih.. body dia cantik.. tp orang kate enjin dia 8v jer.. tak power ker? leh bg nasihat sikit model zx tahun brp bagus tak byk masalah..

terima kasih bebanyak kalu ader yg sudi membalas..

Dude, just terbaca tread nih, sy drive Citroen ZX 2.0 8v, black color with carbon sticker on front bonnet, klu nampak area KL than its me, jujur say, this is the best car, town drive fair, mine was manual lah, clutch keras skit, for me normal for the tough guy hahaha, long distance, POWER, lambat pickup tapi lepas tuh kirim salam kat semua beemers yg se CC dengannya, parts for me still affordable, my mechanic ampang .. terbaik.. no money he can find me recond part, tp utk part penting like bush, semua ori. Maintain TOTAL OIL, thats the best, diorang guna itu oil masa rally kt padang pasir so ..think about it for normal abuse use. Enjin 8V tapi mcm sifu kata, itu enjin mmg tough, klu risau mantenance, semua kereta sama, tapi you spend money for comfortable, its depend on how you maintain the car, semua kereta pun begitu juga kan sifu sifu, my mechanic said 8V enjin senang JAGA, tapi kalu you 20k baru nk service apa2 enjin pun kondem, tapi ini ZX bukan kereta F1 yer betul, terus tekan mau pergi mcm roket better beli MAZDA 3 lah. French car kena rileks, baru ACTION, i turun Menora tunnel 140, sit relax no FEAR, i believe this car, body kereta kebal, CAMRY langgar, itu camry jadi ular langgar divider terus patah axle, my car just a few scratch pecah signal lamp depan, goyang pon tara, kes potong tak habis. So u beli 2nd car make sure MOT, hanta rbengkel yg certified, AMpang ada, Batu Cave ada, dun worry part banyak potong baru pn ada lg. Tapi bukan hari2 tukar, lain klu u suka langgar2. So skang mau ambil Xsara 1.6i utk wife, sifu2 ada yg guna Xsara ..ceritalah sikit.

well agree with debon, I've been using ZX for almost 10 years now. Its a good car and Ive got no complains. Certain parts are not easy to find now given the fact car is close to 20 years now.

Due to car's age, there are minor issues there and here but still good for daily use.

I think someone tried to break in into my ZX. Noticed some scratches on the driver side window just above the door handle, as if someone tried to slit an object into the window door gap to open the door. Shit.

Not surprising, they want to steal your car to stripe for parts maybe?

just wondering whether any zx owner here know where the modify to rear wheel arch for the 5door ZX so that we can fit a bigger rim to it. northern region, penang specifically, would be fantastic.
