Thanks Paul I've written to the supplier and asked for an explanation. I'll let you know if what they say.

Thanks Paul - that is very useful information. Looks like my suspicion that they didn't build a fully automatic box for the ETG6 diesel is true. I will just have to learn to drive the one I've got. The chap who did the road test said to slightly lift off the throttle when it changes gear but that has not been the way I drive. I had a Tiptronic automatic box in my previous car and I think that spoiled me for anything else. Thanks again

Thanks for your reply. I bought it April this year. I've written to the supplier questioning why they supplied a semi automatic when I ordered an automatic. There has been a suggestion that Citroen don't build an automatic gearbox for the C4 diesel but I can't confirm this. The Citroen engineer who road tested it yesterday couldn't find any fault as it was a semi automatic and that was the first time I knew that.

I purchased my C4 1.6e-HDi 90 AIRDRM VTR+ETG6Diesel Automatic in April this year. I eventually got round to contacting a Citroen garage as I experienced throttle snatch in 1st and 2nd gears and there was what I call clutch drag as it went up through the gears. They gave it a road test yesterday and said the semi-automatic gearbox performed as expected and you could only get smooth gear change with a fully automatic box. I thought I had purchased an automatic not a semi-automatic gear box. Any advice?
