idlerobbo Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 1. When the front blower is on (i.e. to demist the window quicker) and I open the passenger window and then close it it squeeeeeeals really strangely unless I open it slightly. Ive only noticed this if ive got the blower on full... 2. My cruise control turnd off intermittantly when driving, it sometimes wont turn back on for a few clicks either. It has been into Citroen who did nothing and had the cheek to ask me if im sure I wasnt pressing the brakes haha! 3. My headlight washers seem to spray my windscreen! (I only actually knew the car had them because of this! They look cool but sure arent working right!) Oh and Hi - im new here - been looking for a good C4 forum for a while - ill get some pics in my sic as soon as I clean my car. Ive got a 2.0 VTS HDi in Black with full leather, glass roof, JBL pack, directional lights (am I showing off now!?) Mark Quote
Mike5483 Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 The headlamp washers probably just need adjusting. The cruise is probably an iffy clutch or brake pedal switch. Cant really comment on the window. Sorry. Quote

Hi and welcome to the forum Mark. ive had the first one on very odd occasions, and the head lamp washers do tend to spray alot when stationary in traffic but never all over the windscreen too. are you sure its not the ones on the bonet spraying on your windscreen? Theres a few of us on here that have had problems with the head lamp washers, theres a small bung underneath the assembly which pops out/or a pipe comes off.My car goes back to dealer to have two new washer arms put on, not too sure if they are an updated part because of this problem? :D any way welcome again Mark Quote
lee_marshuk Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Hi there! My cruise control turnd off intermittantly when driving, it sometimes wont turn back on for a few clicks either. It has been into Citroen who did nothing and had the cheek to ask me if im sure I wasnt pressing the brakes haha! As Mike said, the intermittent dropout of cruise is most likely a dodge clutch sensor - get them to check the warning logs, it should show up there for them. Quote
idlerobbo Posted December 30, 2006 Author Posted December 30, 2006 Thanks for the advice... They claimed to have checked all the logs and nothing was there and just told me that I h ad to live with it as they couldnt identify the fault. I was a bit annoyed to be honest - just because it wasnt happening to them they claimed it didnt exist! Yeah im sure its not my main washers that are hitting the window :-) They hit the window and then its about a second later the jets from down below hit the window. Like I say I didnt even know I had headlamp washers till this started happening and got someone to check outside while i pressed them :-) Guess it will have to go in to Citroen then! I just washed my C4, got to the fun part of waxing and all heavens opened - so annoyed! I just spent £50 on cleaning bits and bobs too!! Gonna have to wait a day until she is gleaming :-( Quote
idlerobbo Posted January 6, 2007 Author Posted January 6, 2007 Seeing your picture actually provoked me to buy it! Ive got the same model you have and seeing it gleaming put me to shame! I bought some Gold Class (something like that) wax - but i took it back as it was nowhere near as good as my auto glym that I had sat in the garage. I bought a washing mit, alloy cleaner, alloy brush, tyre finisher, flash washing solution. . . Thinking about it how on earth did that cost £50!? lol Quote
Stuey Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Ham's car is remarkable clean, mine was getting there until it went for a diversion through a hedge hence the signiature picture. That flash washing thingy is about £20 when I saw it at halfrauds. Meguirs is probably the best cleaning stuff for the price. Wozza, Ham and myself use it on ours and the results are clear to see. but there is nothing wrong with Autoglym. I use the resin polish for a base for the Meguirs Tech Wax. Quote
ham's c4vts Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 The only thing i use the flash cleaning set for is rinsing off and then using the de ionising filter to help dry it off, and it does make a difference too. i dont use the shampoo with though. Quote
idlerobbo Posted January 8, 2007 Author Posted January 8, 2007 ahh - I just opted for the flash shampoo rather than that kit. Maybe I should invest in the drying thing. What exactly does it do? I'm terrible at using a leather, is it effectively a leather for lazy people? Sounds just the ticket to me! Quote
