Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the M25/659 engine.
Engine M25/659 in the Citroen CX 25 (1984β1992) commonly faces issues like oil leaks, worn timing belts, and cooling system failures. For diagnosis, regularly check for oil spots under the car and inspect the timing belt for cracks or wear every 60,000 km. Overheating signs indicate potential radiator or water pump problems.
