I own what I believe is a Citroen C5 2.2 Exclusive SE 2002 (02 Plate) 2.2 Diesel Automatic Saloon - Green in colour. The car has just reached 100,000 miles. Earlier this week l I noticed the main front headlight on the passenger side of my car was Orange. So I took it to a local garage which specializes in servicing Peugeot and Citroen cars, and they thought it was possibly a loose bulb or something, so I got it booked in yesterday to be fixed or replaced. Now the nights are getting earlier, I drove the car in darkness over the week the light then became a very pale blue and started flickering. So I took the car in and went off to have a Breakfast while waiting. The Garage then phoned me. I bought the car second hand a year back, and they told me the gas in the bulb was dodgy and illegal blue tinted bulbs had been fitted in the car (asking me if I had bought them and replaced the original ones!), and they would both need to be replaced with legal white ones. I agree for them to do this. Upon my return to the garage, the bloke then tells me that the correct bulbs are infact fitted and my car is one of only 200 in the UK and only 200 in the chassis range which are fitted with Xenon Lightbulbs, which are legal! They charged me for the time they spent taking the car apart, removing the battery and everything to do nothing but tell me my car has Xenon bulbs, which they charged me £40 for the time they took to take the car apart and find this out, and not actually replace the faulty lightbulb in the car. Of course they had no new replacement bulb to fit, and are buying one in special order which is going to cost me £97 for one new bulb (which they are ordering from Citroen), and probably another £40 to have it fitted next Saturday... But since they disconnected the battery, not only did the time and date have to be reprogrammed on the clock, but the computer is now throwing up messages saying "Tire Sensor Missing" and "Tire Punctured", when all 4 tires are perfectly OK and at the same good pressure. Does anyone know if this sounds correct, or if they might be pulling a fast one in not knowing the car had Xenon Lightbulbs fitted, and charging so much for a replacement lightbulb, and if anyone knows anything about those Tire error messages I would be grateful. Thanks, Steve.
