Hi.. I have a C4 VTR+ 1.6D. 05reg When turning right i get a Clunking banging sound coming from the passenger side floor area..? Now my obvious thoughs were..Damn CV Joint gone.. :) now i know that over the years you usually get a sign..like a leaking Gator or similar..? So i get the big silly plastic sound proof panel thingy off under the car..But no obvious signs of leakage and all is dry. I have checked other area's for anything loose and all seems fine... .. So..has anyone else experienced this with their C4.....? ....

Hi. Can anyone point me in the direction of the Oil Filter on a C4 Diesel 1.6 VTR+... ;) Its my 1st attempt at an oil change on a diesel..i have always had the old cannister type filter that you whack a big screwdriver through and turn.. ;) anyway after spending half an hour removing the big plastic tray and jacking up i slid under for a nosey... :rolleyes: Could'nt see it... :lol: .. So....I know its there somewhere...But where..? .. Thanx in advance... B) .

I drive a C4 1.6 HDI and was given an 07 with Flappy paddle sticks while mine was in for a minor fault..(Again).. :P Well..I was quite lookin forward to trying it out. But after 10 miles i was just so glad i had a Manual.. ;) The Auto Gear box was an absolute joke..jerking me back and forth like a Nodding dog... :blink: .. Was i glad to get my car back.... :) Egs was like going back in time to when the Auto box was first invented. Yuk and double Yuk...! ..

It would seem that we are only covered for the first 12,000 miles as far as Discs and Pads are concerned....? Unless.....They can prove a Manafacturing defect..... :blink: ... Oh well...at least i'll know what to ask my next main dealer before i buy.... :rolleyes: ...

mmmmmmmm...... ;) food for thought then...? ... I have driven hard my old Mini Cooper look-a-likey.. :blink: My old Renault gordini and numerous other vehicles into the ground over the years and have suffered Gear box failures, Worn out engines. Broken sub frames and god knows what else...?? ok..i'm not so young now... :blink: all grown up with a family and a family sized car..You see where i'm going on this..? Warped Discs after 19.000 miles...I dont think so.... :angry: ... Right i'm gonna turn back the clock and get me an old Knacker to run into the ground..Just like the good ol days..... :lol: :lol: ... C4 HDI 1.6 110 BHP VTR+ Arctic Steel in Beautiful condition with 2 new shiny disks...anyone.... ;) Will consider Mini Cooper in part ex..... :rolleyes: ... Alive with Technology............Dead with lasting quality....................... :ph34r: Ignore me..I'm just pissed about parting with hard earnt..... :lol: :lol: :blink: ...

Yes i agree with that too, i was always taught to use the Hand brake and it kinda stays with you..? I just think on this occasion they are being a little under hand with me especially as i stated earlier that i have just covered 19.000 miles.. ;) I guess i'll just have to Cough up... :lol: ....
-
19.000 miles on the clock.... ;) We also have a punto that we use more than the C4 and has 47.000 miles under its belt....No Warping there....? ...

I took a trip to my Main Dealers today to investigate my Brake judder problem which has progressively got worse over the last few weeks. It seems i have Warped front Discs.. ;) "Thats just £275 sir.... :lol: It seems its not covered under Warranty on my 05 VTR+... :lol: Now i have never really had a problem with my Dealers before and what little probs i have had have all been put right with minimum fuss, I have a 2nd service due very soon and i aint gonna get much change out of £200..I could of done without this right now.... :lol: .... Anyone else had similar with their C4's......???? .... Mark. ...

I have a 1.6 HDI VTR+ that does just that...! I have always put it down to a "3rd gear Overboost"..! To be honest i coud'nt live without it... :) If it is'nt normal then i dont want mine fixed... :) ....... <_<

I had my 2 near side Doors fixed last week..(Handles sticking open) It was in for a new Heat shield and i happened to mention it.They fixed there and then 20mins max..No big deal..! .. Our on board Comp always warned us if any door was open so we never drove until it was put back in, Yes a little inconvenient..but no big whoop..!!! .. You have to rememer its a relatively new Model..Things always get sorted in the end. So far i have been back to the Dealer 6 times for niggles, Every little correction and Modification to my C4 makes me feel like i have a Bloody good bit of kit around me..... :) ..

Jryan....Just remember that the folk that think Diesel cars are a false economy are usually just dead jelous that they aint gettin 52mpg round town and over 60mpg on the Motorway.... :lol: :lol: It Pisses em off big styleeee... :lol: :lol: .... The HDI rules and petrol Drools...... :lol: ... I'm off before i get hate mail..... :P ..

True...Its not the same..But this corner that i am so fond of is like a bend on a race track..Beautiful Tarmac with a lovely sweeping bank up and down.. :) The point i was making was that the Focus did it without any Trickery..it held the road like a Go-cart as opposed to the C4 going round it like a nervous nelly... :lol: and i might add the Driver... :) My other point was the ESP Dulling down the fun... :) I now know i cannot turn off the damn thing like you can with the 2.0ltr VTS. Dont worry it does'nt put me off the C4 1 bit..I love it. .. Lets not forget that the C4 is only 2 years old..The Focus has been around for Donkeys..The C4 prides itself on Gimmicky Technology..or thats what the adverts would have you believe...Now..! if the C4 could handle like a Focus then !!WOW!! what a motor it would be..? IMO the C4 should not have Suspension problems..Jeeezzz... Citroen has built weird and wonderful Suspension systems for Decades..So now are they fitting cheap Shocks and Suspension units....Shame on em...... :( .. Phhhewwww...I'm off for a lie down now.... :P .. I still love it...... B) ....
-
Just had a read of the Manual and you can only turn the ESP off on the 2.0ltr Sporty jobby... ;) Oh well i'll just have to put up with it i suppose... :blink: Jonfish obviously knows what a Focus handles like.... :( I still prefer the C4 as i'm a Techy and Gadget freak.... :) .....
-
You cant turn the ESP off though...Can you...????? Mine comes back on when it reaches 30mph... :blink:
-
I have the VTR+ 110BHP version and i'm wondering if my Shocks are diff from some other versions...??? I ask because iv'e read that there are problems with Shockers..? As for Handling..mmmmmmm... ;) Not sure about this 1...I'm still a little confused with this ESP Malarchy..? Before my C4 i had a Ford Focus and that things handling was Legendary..a couple of miles from my home there is a stretch of road with a crazy bend at the end.... :) I loved it in the Focus..But in the C4 even with the ESP its just not the same..Just dont compete for pure cornering joy... :( I corner it about 10mph slower in the C4 cus i just know it'll brake loose... :blink: ....

Glovebox and Cup holders.. a waste of space and not enough of em... :P ... ie.....Today..Went to pull on Handbrake and put me hand into Wifes McDonalds Diet Coke..... :o ...

Had a new Air Scuttle fitted today as the old 1 slipped below the bottom of the Winscreen..(Rubber). Fitted in 20 mins and no hassle.. :P ... Thought i'd mention it for ref:...Could of been broken when i had a replacement Airbox as previously mentioned..(Aircon blowing Hot) ... No Biggie...... :lol: ...
