2005 Citroen C4 VTR+ HDI review from UK and Ireland

At first I purchased a C3 Pluriel.

The brakes squealed all the time, the drivers door creaked and groaned, it leaked and the general build quality wasnt that good.

It was replaced by the dealer by a C4 1.6 SX. HDI. First impressions were good, However the car only lasted 2 days before oil leaked out onto the driveway.

The Dealership then replaced

it with the car I now have had for about 2 weeks C4 VTR+.2.0 HDI

It lasted 2 days before it broke down on my way to work, they (Dealership) had it for a week. An air intake valve jammed causing the car to shake causing a knocking sound from under the right side wheel arch.

This apparently is a known fault to Citroen and a "fix" is on the way, or so I'm informed by the dealership.

Also I think the car pulls to the right, even though the Dealership insist its OK.

I've e mailed Citroen, but as yet have had no reply to my enquiry.

The big gripe I have got is the windscreen wipers wipe on the wrong side of the windscreen.

The passenger gets a better view in bad weather than the driver.

Apart from the above the car is very comfortable and is quick off the mark.

Road noise is low when driving at speed.
