Recent Re-call Update

[Welshguy]

Having recently received a re-call letter relating to a control box underneath the steering wheel (it's been mentioned on here and planet citroen a few times), I booked the car in yesterday to have the replacement box put in and the grating noise investigated. Lol I've lost count of how many times my car has been into the dealership in the year and a half of owning it!

 

Anyways...picked it up yesterday, and they'd replaced the box, but as part of the recall they also had to replace the left (indicator) stalk. Unfortunately the only one they had in stock was for a VTR/VTS and so comes with the option to turn the fogs on and off, which I dont have. So the car will need to be booked in AGAIN (lol) to have this changed once new stock has arrived.

 

On the grating noise issue..I was impressed to be told that a manager had come down the dealership from somewhere (can't remember where exactly lol!) to take a look at the grating noise, as the engineers had no idea was what causing it. The manager asked if I could take him for a test-drive (as he has a broken leg!) and the car would make the damned noise! SOD's LAW or what! :lol: Well he has assured me that if he can find the noise then he will fix it - I am handing the car over to him in 3 weeks time when his leg has healed. Hopefully he can fix it! :D

Hope i dont get this one as well :/

 

If i do im gonna be driving my cinquecento for a few days cars going into get scratches and rub strips done in a few days hopefully and if this has to be done as well :/. Also need to sort out couple of the rear trim pieces around the boot as there a little loose and rattling when the sub thumps due to bodyshop braking the clips.

 

So if i get this im not gonna see my car for 3 or 4 days :lol:

I feel your pain! :D

 

I have that problem with the clips in the boot - except it was caused by my brother installing the spoiler..it went something like "how do you get this trim off?...Lets yank it and see...SNAP..." :lol:

 

Back on-topic...I really do hope they fix the grating noise..as I said to this manager guy...the noise doesn't sound good...therefore it can't be good for my car. I dont mind waiting three weeks to hand the car over...but I'd like it sorted asap.

I thought mine felt different when I picked it up from the control box recall!! they could have changed both!!

i just had an airbag recall done to mine, also had a squeak/creak coming from somewhere when taking m foot on and off the gas, and when changing gear.

 

turned out i needed the bottom mount of my engine lubricating and where te exhaust meets the engine needed lubricating. noise has gone now.

 

back on recalls, mines had 3 so far, air bag control, sealing on abs electrics and another i cant quite remember.

what recals has everyone else had?

I havent had any so far. That could be a good thing or might just mean I havent had any of the letters lol
