Kevin Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 My new C5 had its first service at Wilmoths, Eastbourne on Monday 24th March. The only fault on the car are the headlights which 'flicker' or 'flash' intermittently. I was informed by the Service Manager that all C5's have this problem and Citroen are aware of it. It is caused by a voltage fluctuation in the electric pump that powers the car's suspension apparently. However my father also has a new C5 and his lights are fine................... Quote
twiggins Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Hi, I've noticed this as well and thought that this was to do with the suspension levelling itself as it mostly occurs during acceleration / braking for me. Its not been a problem as the flicker is only just noticeable on mine. Let us know if you do find a fix. Quote
oppositelock Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 So it's not just mine then? Was going to ring the dealer but if it's a "feature" :) I probably won't bother now! Quote
bencowell Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 Apparantly they all do it, it is true. The C5-L yahoo group has several mentions of flickering headlamps. Ben Quote
qprjockdude Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Same "problem". The suspension automatically drops at the front when you reach around 70mph and the resultant power surge causes a flicker. Quote
