2006 Citroen C4 Exclusive review from UK and Ireland
"Dynamically good to drive, but very unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Initial problems with vibration at speed, linked to a fault with the alloy wheels. This took 3 visits to the dealer to rectify.
Various electronic problems with the car systems, starting with warnings for ESP system and Directional Headlight system faults.
Recent problems have been with the engine management system light coming on, and the car not accelerating properly.
The car has now been back to dealers in the garage 8 times for repeat faults. The engine management system has accounted for the last 5.
ECU and sensors have been replaced, but now the car is in back with the dealer to have the turbo changed.
General comments?
The car has been great to drive and comfortable, but very unreliable. The dealers have struggled to sort out problems.
