bigrob Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Is the brain of your C4 a bit flaky? it is on mine (55 plate Diesel VTR). every now and then it will suddenly decide that one or other of its functions is no longer working, and it need to be immediately taken to be serviced - this scared me the first couple of times, but I have found if you just turn off the function concerned and turn it back on, all is OK. I think the brain must have been programmed by Microsoft, and just needs rebooting every now and then! The 2 favorites are the speed limiter /cruise control not functioning (you just flick it off and back on again a couple of times and it is fine), and the temperage guage suddenley jumping from normal temperature to massively overheating instantly! (you have to turn the fan on and off again to clear this one!) Anyone else get this, or is mine 'special'?!? :( Quote
wozza Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 cruise control could be faulty clutch sensor kown issue. also a new software update for diesels that have an issue with the cruise. The heater one is a new one though as far as im aware os you got a unique issue! congrats lol Quote
bigrob Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 realy dumb question I know, but suppose for the software update I have to take it back to the dealer? I might not bother and just leave her as she is, I think it gives her 'personality'! :( :rolleyes: Quote
wozza Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Yeah take back to the dealer shouldnt take too long. I need to fix the rattles i have coming from the rear where the bodyshop messed up taking my boot to bits refitting the spoiler. They did it the same time as i showed them the boot was catching on the rear bumper and causing it to scratch there fix....stick some matching colour stickers ot my car and give it me back was not impressed with that.

Stuey Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 that is possibly the most random fault I have heard with the car, funky temp sensor...the sensor's under the wing mirror isnt it?? might be a dodgy connenction... Quote
Mat Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 I got the impression Rob was talking about engine temp sensor :P Quote
bigrob Posted July 5, 2006 Author Posted July 5, 2006 Thats right matt, engine temp not external temp. Thinking about it, I wonder if the dealer might have done the software upgrade already and not told me - it has not done it since it had its 12,500 mile service about a month ago. I sort of miss it! Like I said, it kind of gives her poersonality! :P Quote
