lee_marshuk Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 Not sure.....perhaps it only works if you have the feature for your wing mirrors to physically fold in when you lock the doors??? Quote
C4VTS Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Not sure.....perhaps it only works if you have the feature for your wing mirrors to physically fold in when you lock the doors??? Mine fold in, and fully electrically adjustable, so surely must have all the motors? Quote
lee_marshuk Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 Gord knows! I would have thought any of them with electrically adjustable mirrors could do it :blink: Quote
Rich_Eason Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Any normal human being would assume that. However you would think if on the "mirror functions list to enable list" out of the say 5 functions you would think they would tick all 5 and enable and not leave the list short by enabling only 3 or 4. Surely this wastes time at the dealer us all going back asking for mirrors to be enable whilst Rory Cheshunt in his C2 is waiting for his clutch to be changed? Or is some devious marketing ploy?

kfk Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 has anybody taken the trouble to look in there handbook and identify which mirror switch consol they have?....i'm sure they're different and will indicate whether the vehicle has foldback mirrors by having an arrow on the mirror picture on the switch Quote
Rich_Eason Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I dont remember it showing the different types of switch in the handbook, but I think it says in the description?...how is this relevant to getting the mirrors to dip when you slip into reverse though? Is there a connection? Quote

Rich_Eason Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Oh I see :blink: I just wondered if there was a connection between the different types of switch and dipping mirror operatointhat was all... Quote
kfk Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 The mirrors used on C4 are different between fold back mirrors and foldback with indexed reverse. With regard to the manufacturer ticking all the boxes and enabling all functions whether fitted or not. Well they obviously have a reason not to and i dont suppose its anything to do with making life difficult for the customer. Take for instance a car with front fog lamps vs the same model without......take a look at the fog lamp switch and the only difference you will see is the absence of an icon for front fog lamps. If you buy a fog lamp kit you get the relevant wiring and a transfer for the switch.....it uses the same switch....but having plugged it all in it wont work, at least not untill you take it to your dealer to get a tick put in the box in the computer. So what stops them ticking the box.......its called a green warning lamp that would come on on the dash saying front fogs are on........and the constant stream of customers claiming there vehicle should have them fitted standard. And as for Dealers being reluctant to try these things.........i'll try anything, if your paying me £63 + vat per hour, and if it doesnt work......you can still pay me. Quote
Rich_Eason Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 £63+VAT :unsure: Where abouts are you KFK?! Last week my sisters Fiesta was in the dealers and they were charging £45+VATn and thats Fraud... :D Quote

algot Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Finally! Had a call from my Citroen Dealership today to tell me there was a bulletin out for the squealing brake issue! Apparently they have a whole list of part codes to order, which include new calipers and discs......... I had my C4 in for service, and they will not do anything for the squeeking brakes. They clame it is a "Citroen thing". The service personel actually told me to buy another brand of brakepads for the noise to stop. With my guarranty running out this week I can not see another solution to my problem. I bougth a Citroen and now I have to live with it....... /algot Quote
wozza Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Tell them to look on there computer and there is a notice about the brakes on there system. Required those who suffer form it to be given new calipers and pads. Its on there computers they cant really argue with you about it.

Its on there computers they cant really argue with you about it. Direct them to this forum if they continue arguing there right. Where a fair few of us can say our dealers contacted us themselves to say they now had the notice in with part numbers etc to order. My dealer phoned me when the notice came in and said they had already ordered the parts for me. Took them a day to sort it all out and some other bits at the same time. Quote

I forgot to mention that I live in Greece. Service is not a priority from Citroens side here..... Would this notice be in the computers here too ?? /a Quote
