clanixion Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Is it just me or ....... does anyone else suffer from the wheel arch liners coming loose. My Gold Bling had the wee fixing things replaced 6 times. Quote
Oxymoron Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Hi, A fixing stud has gone on the passenger side....was there a few days ago!....Can I buy a packet of them? Cheerz. :D Quote
DesdinovaUK Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Funnily enough same thing happened to us only this week, again due to a deep puddle Quote
Oxymoron Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Hi, I must visit the Dealers and ask for some spares! Cheerz. B) Quote
clanixion Posted October 22, 2004 Author Posted October 22, 2004 3 weeks into the life of the silver Bling and the liners popped out when I hit a puddle. Quote
Albert Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 A deep puddle did mine too, it flipped over the wheel and put some nice grooves in the tyre. The fixing studs are about 70p at the dealers. Quote
clanixion Posted October 23, 2004 Author Posted October 23, 2004 Why should I pay to fix a design problem with my new car ? I must phone Citroen UK and ask them how many failures they need to record before they do something about it. Quote
tronboy Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Deep puddles do it for me too!! PS: On a totally different note!

StephenM Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 "Why should I pay to fix a design problem with my new car ? I must phone Citroen UK and ask them how many failures they need to record before they do something about it" Wouldnt waste your time - I wrote to them twice regarding the design flaw which allows the spare to be easily removed WITHOUT excessive force. Both replys stated it wasnt a "specific concern" to citroen (even though I have since found out that this problem goes back years with various citroen models, and that only excessive force could remove the wheel - even though I offered to take my damage free blingo to the dealer!!! The tone of the letter suggested that they were not aware this was a problem (yeah right!) and that a wheel securing kit was available at cost from the dealer (mmm, interesting - I think not) The distinct absence of any 15" citroen/pug wheels at scrappies in a 20mile radius suggest that many have the same problem - I will not be paying Citroen for one. Sorry for the diversion, but I suggest the wont care in the slightest that the wheel arches stay in place if the are not worried about spare wheels. By the way my arch popped of in a big puddle - havent got a new clip yet, I just dodge puddles :) Quote
DesdinovaUK Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Although the dealer (Barretts in Folkestone) has been fine about the clips - the service Dept do seem rather touchy about so called "design faults". I mentioned that others on the internet had had similar problems only to get the response "you shouldn't believe all you read on the internet". I also got an identical response this summer when asking for my aircon to be checked as I was unhappy about the temperature - not cool enough for me- and had read posts here suggesting Citroen save money by not charging it fully initially.

StephenM Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 I know what you mean - there was a similar thing a while back with Saxo VTRs occasionally cutting out due to errratic engine idle, a pain in rush hour traffic :angry: I know loads of people from being in the SaxoSportClub has similar probs - dealer responded in much the same way. Same with the airbag light staying on on Saxos - everyone knew this was a common problem (I didnt know anybody who had the same car that the light stayed off!). Recently I witnessed a local dealer charging an unsuspecting female for reseting the warning light :) Its niggles like these that put me off Citroen, I may well buy another blingo cause its cheap, but i will be looking at a used Touran or Corrolla verso as on option, especially if Citroen stop the discounts <_< Quote
