DS 21 ASMR anyone? I
DS 21 ASMR anyone? I thought I'd show a few aspects of the DS, especially after having some major work completed throughout. The video will reveal how much there is for me to learn about its nuances.
Shooting in 4k certainly reveals all the dust and dirt- it could need a thorough detailing inside and out. Yes I admit I was a little rough on slamming the doors. Also, you’ll notice that the pump cycle time is frequent, though all spheres were replaced and checks for any leaks continue to be monitored. There is some wetness in the undercarriage, though it’s from before the recent fixes. It did have air conditioning before, though the condenser was taken out as we wanted to concentrate on getting the engine and transmission rebuild completed and functioning per spec. Plus we really never used the air con. At a later time, it can be put back in and reinstalled.
Overall, the DS idles, accelerates, shifts, and brakes so much better than before, and I’ve noticed a slight bump in torque after the engine was modified to Euro spec. To me, it’s like a whole new DS. Dad and I used to be in constant worry about the engine potentially overheating, especially in Southern California’s warm/hot climate, though after recent work, it’s working marvelously! I drove the DS from Citroen Classics of America back to home, which was a 145 mile drive in constant 95-100 degree temperature through moderately hilly freeways driving about 65-70mph, plus some bumper to bumper traffic, and it stayed consistently below 3/4 of the white portion of the temperature gauge. It was actually one of the most enjoyable drives I’ve had with the DS knowing that it sailed through really hot and strenuous driving conditions.
My dad was one the biggest DS enthusiasts who devoted so much love and attention to his own, and over time we’ve brought it to much better condition than when he acquired it in 2010.
