Hey all. I have got a mark 2 Sax VTS which has just been serviced about a thousand miles ago. Usual bits were changed (s plugs,oil,filters). Before the service she would hesistate when accelerating if you had your foot on the pedal slightly but when u have it floored no probs. Once she came back from service she was fine but after a few hundred miles started playing up again. Now this morning when I pulled up to some traffic lights she cut out. Any ideas?

sounds like a fuel filter or pump about to go balls up,could also be a dodgy wire on a fuel pump,but then it cud be anything:( worth a try though im not a qualified citreon technician

Mine does too every now and again, but mine hasn't been serviced for at least 7000miles, keep meaning to do it lol

My Mk1 VTS is the same. I reckon it's the MAP sensor but have been reluctant to change it because it's so expensive and it might not be that. The VTS MAP sensor is about £90 from Citroen and £75 from Bosch. Apparently Facet do a pattern one for about £50 but I can't find anyone who sells them (you can't buy direct from Facet).
