Xxs Recall

[Safety Engineer]

C4 2.0 HDI VTR+, just gone in last thursday for the airbag recall and had a phone call friday saying that Citroen have just sent out another recall (XXS) for a reset/upgrade of the engine management system and a check/replacement of the EGR (Engine Gas Recirculation) Valve, it goes in this friday.

Well it went in friday, came out friday afternoon, feeling dead and unresponsive, it also whistled like a good 'un, took it back saturday morning, they couldn't look at it as the service garage was closed for annual stock take but they took it in and promised to look at it first thing tuesday, gave me a Picasso to drive around in for the weekend.

 

Come tuesday afternoon get a call saying that it's all sorted and was a gasket dropped out of place (I don't envy them with the tiny space to get at bits), now sorted.

 

Car now quiet again and it feels more responsive, there was a little bit of a dead spot about 1500rpm that's gone and the trip computer indicates it's slightly more economical (will verify on next fill up manually).
