C4 Paintwork

[Guest Hawki]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I wondered if anyone has any advice about my problem. Bought a 05 C4 in Nov 2005. Second hand ex showroom. I didnt realise that the guaranteed was 3 years from first registration (03/03/05). My paperwork said 5 year warranty. However when I took my C4 into the dealer to have a look at some bubbling paintwork around the front citroen logo they said my guarantee had run out and they couldnt do anything about it? I bought the C4 from Wigan Citroen online. The paintwork has only recently started to bubble, I hadnt noticed it until the guy who did my MOT spotted it. Its not alot but its obviously a problem that needs sorting.

 

Has anyone else had this problem. The paint is not coming off it is just bubbling? Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

New Citroens come with a 3 year warranty, but your 'bubbling' sounds like a paint defect.

 

New Citroens also come with a 12 year anti-corrosion warranty, subject to an inspection every two years from its fourth anniversary. As your car isn't even 4 years old yet, it wouldn't have undergone its inspection.

 

It may be worth checking if this warranty is transferable. Bubbling from beneath the paintwork sure sounds like a defective paint process to me.
