Citroen C4 2012 Egs Problem

[birador]

hi, just wondering if someone can help me... i just bought a citroen c4 2012 hatchback hdi egs from a friend of friend who moved to Australia. i noticed that if i idle the car for more than 7 mins and then put it on A (DRIVE) it will make a loud sound that i cannot explain where i came from. something like a clunk or like a manual car that u forgot to step on the clutch and put in 1st gear or reverse but not sure if it the right term. it will only happen at first start like early in the morning but after that it is perfectly ok and no sound at all. i start to notice this when i start the car early morning to bring my wife to work but she didn't went out until 10 mins. then when i put it on A thats when i heard the noise. since then i am trying to worked it out and find out that 3 mins or less in idle there will be no noise but more than 8 mins you will hear it again when u put it on gear. i have a friend with the same car but 2011 and the other one is a DS4 2011 and they said they notice it aswell with their car. my question is... is it normal or our car have problem we need to sort out. please help..thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum.

 

I have not had an egs gearbox so have no experience of one but possibly it may need calibrating http://c4owners.org/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?160651.0

 

Could also be an engine or gearbox mounting http://www.citroenpicasso.org.uk/picasso/index.php/topic/23268-clunking-sound-changing-gear/
