European sister of the i-miev : Peugeot Ion & Citroen C-Zero

and now, I've got the Mitsubishi gear cover partnumber....
only one partnumber, for LHD, RHD, worldwide : 2420A081HA

just found also a link to the complete service manuals from Mitsubishi (online documentation) !

don't know if allowed to put the link.... http://mmc-manuals.ru/manuals/i-miev/online/Service_Manual_2011_2012/2012/index_M1.htm

(for moderators, if you think it's not allowed, I can remove it)

I think you have found something VERY interesting. :shock:

But in this "Euro" topic almost nobody will see it.

Don't know if it's appropriate or not to publish it (seems MMC/Russia public info, but... )

I think it would be appropriate to post it on the subforum Tech/Reference Articles.

Thanks!

Done



Just one wish for USA and UK i-miev owners : I still have a blocking point on the gearbox cover, where is written " P R N D B C" or " P R N D Eco B " but also a strange "P R N D 3 2 " (this I suspect for the i with 600cm3 motor in Japan only)









It seems there are the 2 possibilities, and also 2 colors (silver or anthracit).
Could someone (in PM) give me a picture of his cover and the car VIN ?

Thanks in advance

yes, that's from the petrol "i" - we have them in the UK too (as we are RHD, like Japan) - "P R N D 3 2 Hold"

in France, a few C-zero with 2 years / less then 20.000km for sell for 3671 euros..... :shock: :shock:






Of course, at this price, they're all gone in a few hours !

I still see them there. Would you ask the seller if they still have some of them to sell? For this price I'd buy three C-Zeros. Can you assist somehow?

I would by one.

I called same day the Citroen dealer and he confirmed they were all gone !

The advertising on the site was not updated as quick as the cars were sold !
For us, same, at that price you can buy 2 or 3 of them !!!

Hi there, owners of ion & c-zero


again a recall regarding the vacuum pump for breaking system.
After the recall action in march/april 2013, we received today again a letter for a recall regarding this vacuum pump.
They say " to be checked" but I assume it's same 'shit' as last year ....

Almost all cars repaired last year are concerned by this action

Anyway, we still enjoy driving this car

Following to this recall named "NCZ", the C-zero has less regeneration brake power
That's bad !


Now, need to check if the gear lever transformation (adding B & C mode) is still possible !

Agree! Our high level of regeneration (and easy control over the three regen levels with our shift lever) was the deciding factor in my selecting the i-MiEV over the Leaf at the end of 2011. We haven't seen this NCZ recall here in the US, as the few i-MiEVs recalled for the vacuum pump evidently did not have their regen affected.

I had the pump recall done last summer (2013, shortly after buying the car) along with the Clipper Creek update, and didn't see a difference in regen.

Why would they decrease regen? That's what helps the i-MiEV to be so efficient is being able to recapture as much energy as possible.

I did it two days ago. No regen change noticed.
