2005 Citroen C4 Coupe from UK and Ireland - Comments

C4 VTR, lots of problems; brakes, cracked windscreen, by itself, wiring to the brake lights broke of in roof, ESP, poor performance and lag when pull away. No good dealers. Ventilation system broke down and got stuck on heating mode.

Seems that this car was never tested, and is a danger to consumers, Recomennd that Citroen refund owners because this is a ripoff and a danger to drive.

So you changed the Citroen for a Suzuki diesel?

Did you know you've changed one motor unit for the same again? Suzuki use Citroen/Peugeot (shared technology).

I got the same problem. I have a 1.6 VTR+ diesel, and have had that pollution problem about 6 times now. Surely they need to sort the problem out, as I read these comments, and find I am not the only one having this problem with my Citroen. It has just happened again after only being in with the dealer 2 months ago for the same reason.

Did you get the ECU unit changed? If so, did this solve the problem?

I have had my car now for six weeks MOT'd when purchased, and the garage said it almost failed emissions and should come in for further testing. Booked it in at the garage, and they replaced the coil pack. The car then occasionally started to lose power, especially in lower gears, and the anti pollution fault and warning light appeared. The light is practically on all the time now, with the car randomly losing power. Should I take to the local garage, or is it a job for the dealer?

I had the depollution warning, put Redex in the fuel tank and the warning goes. 12 months now with no problems.

I got a C4 reg 04 with 6000 miles on it. The pollution light came on after about 11000 miles. I took it to my garage, and they changed a sensor in the sump, and that has cured the problem.

I have the problem, where under 5C, it has a real problem starting; it can take 2 to 3 minutes. It also started blowing a fuse every so often; that stopped it starting. Replacing the starter motor cured this.

It has also had a new gear box.

At the moment it has done 46700 miles. The dipped head light bulbs keep blowing as well.

I did have a 4 year AA cover on it; that has just ended

My Citroen C4 1.6 VTR 2006 has the same 'anti-pollution faulty' sign appearing every time I start the car, and now it won't start at all. It's all too embarrassing, considering I have it serviced at all intervals as per the manual.

Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, petrol. De-pollution system warning light keeps coming on, and then occasionally a warning about the electronic handbrake. If that happens, then it loses power and stops. Usually stopping the engine and restarting resolves the problem. I am convinced this is a problem with the sensors, but I am sure Citroen will love replacing one thing after another. They genuinely don't seem to know what to do. I think it's a bit of a disgrace.

I had the anti-pollution/check engine warning light on with engine cut off or not igniting. Changed a coil, but it keeps having the warning on. My engineer checked my fuel pump pressure, checked the fuel sensor, and checked the electrical installation of the engine, but found nothing wrong.
