Citroen C4 2004-2008 | LOVE OR HATE??

Citroen C4 2004-2008

Mention the Citroen C4 to most people and you'll be rewarded with a blank look. Ask about the dancing robot instead and there will be that instant flash of recognition, a classic case of the advertisement being more memorable than the product. Perhaps this is a little harsh on the C4 as it introduced a welcome dash of individuality to the middle of a Citroen range that was previously populated by cars like the Xsara. Now that used examples are filtering onto the market in decent numbers, does the C4 make a compelling case for itself second time round?

I've got the C4 Coupe 1.4 L and it's a great economical car and it has the best looking rear of all cars ;-) well mine has one with a spoiler and looks great

[@rgbcom]

I’ve owned my 2008 since new and love it.

[@lahonymanor2927]

Me too ;)

[@josheggerton7918]

Have you 2 encountered any clicks when changing the lower gears?

[@aebfhinn9679]

@@josheggerton7918my 2010 is a bit crunchy when I go into first gear but all the other gears are alright

My 1.6 16v prefacelift is probably the best overall engine for everyday use. 40mpg on motorway. Pretty reliable. Nippy enough for city drive.

[@petermoller4610]

The BMW engines are notoriously unreliable in the Mini, and will require hefty and timely preventive maintenance. I doubt the PSA versions are better. Hands off those units!

[@lahonymanor2927]

Nothing wrong with the PSA versions!! They are one of the most reliable engines out there. The fuel consumption on petrol ones were poor, that's their only fault.

[@fonziebulldog5786]

LOL, my PSA engine has done 124274,23 miles without any faults. Great engine.👍

Most grave problem with this car was the rear suspension which made a terrible noise at moderate speed over bumps. At the same time the rear end of the car would lose contact with the road causing instability problems. Citroen had taken some action 2005 model years but had given up leaving the owners alone with the problem. There were other typical problems as well but they did not bother that much, compared to the problem with rear suspension. I had bought one in 2008 brand new but dumped the car after a year with 20tkm getting sick of this problem.

I want to pick up a used c4 vt(r?s?) coupe and actually im thinking of the thp turbo engine because i like to have some speed. Im mostly interesting on the pre-facelift model because i like much more the wheels even if the facelift model looks more fresher with better 'face mask' those pre facalift model wheels on vt models are brilliant.do you have any suggestions?? Im gonna pick it up probably with like 100,000 miles or something. Please help me because some people on the internet are like oh thp crappy problematic engine but i have no clue and i don't trust them because they saying about alfa romeos how are un reliable too but my father got only alfas and all are reliable cars with 250,000+ miles and good reliability...so...

[@karlatkin01]

I own one and touch wood have little problems with it for a A to B car it does fine ,

[@j1bc]

Starting to really get into this channell. Great no nonsense reviews

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Really appreciate that! So glad you’re enjoying them

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Replacing the TU petrol engines with the Prince units did not really help reliability. The diesels would be the only facelift C4 i would go near.

[@chaospxl_]

Say, do you have more intel about the Engine range? i for one was interested in a 1.6 Turbo 150 HP one, since it seems to have an engine VERY similar to my berlingo, engine has lasted me over 170k Miles thus far.

[@gicugigel3790]

@@chaospxl_ best gasoline engine on this car is the 1.6 16v 110hp, NFU code

[@franciscogodoy9158]

The last TU engines (like those in the C4) are very reliable and very cheap to service. And they make the C4 a very comfy car.

[@fonziebulldog5786]

Great car. 😄👍

[@andreylonewolf2463]

11.2 seconds on 110 HP? i got 9.98 seconds on a 1.6 l 16v NA 109 HP on a Coupe from 2008 with no mods at all

[@jimmythomas5714]

About the timing chain, what’s it’s life

[@rgbcom]

Mine is a 2.0 liter petrol with a timing belt which should be replaced every 80.000 kilometers
