DIY Citroen C4 repair

In detail: do-it-yourself citroen c4 repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

The Citroen C4 car was first seen in 2004, and it was not in vain, because to this day this car still meets the declared reliability and safety indicators compared to other cars of the same class. At first, relatively inconspicuous, with each new version of the Citroen C4 it began to contain more and more new functions. The latest versions of the car are thoroughly "stuffed" with various electronics, which sometimes helps out, but sometimes it rubs the nerves, and then it becomes necessary to repair the Citroen C4. But first things first.

Note that repair Citroen, or rather its need, in some moments depends on the vehicle configuration. So, the following versions are included in the line of this "Frenchman":

Classique
Confort
Exclusive - variation for the hatchback
VTR, VTR + and VTR Pack - Coupé variation

As for the correct choice of the model, this is up to everyone personally. Repair of the Citroen C4 Picasso after the operation period may be needed in the same way as the Citroen C4 Cactus. Therefore, the point is not so much in the principled choice of the model and configuration, but in the knowledge of the weak points of the car, which, in turn, must sometimes be paid attention to.

I would like to note in advance that, in general, the Citroen C4 is a prominent car with excellent characteristics both for driving in urban areas and beyond. But in this article we will pay more attention not to the advantages of the model, but to the disadvantages, so that potential buyers can see the full picture of the technical capabilities of the machine.

So, repair of Citroen C4 is very often associated with automatic transmission malfunctions. Sometimes it stops holding the valve, sometimes the entire valve body fails, and it also happens that the band brake completely breaks off, as a result, the box just wedges. No matter how hard manufacturers struggle with this problem, they cannot fully solve it. Therefore, fans of the C4 model often wisely choose the "mechanics".

Sometimes it is required to visit the Citroen C4 car service in St. Petersburg due to the failure of the electric seat heating system. The biggest boom in this problem occurred in 2008. However, not often, but from time to time, this defect occurs in new models. This is due to the interconnected elements of the back and cushion system. Therefore, when at least one posting is frayed, the entire system stops working.

The rest of the breakdowns, due to which it is necessary to service the Citroen C4, include periodic disconnection of the engine temperature sensor, frequent malfunctions of the headlight washers. And with the generator, mainly due to the effects of chemistry, which the road services scatter on the roads, fighting the ice, problems begin in three or four years.

And the car, of course, is beautiful, the designers did their best. But you will not be full of beauty alone, so do not forget to provide timely maintenance of the Citroen C4, and periodically look at the nodes prone to weaknesses.

TOTAL DEPENDENCE (Oil change)!

Iodine in the hood immediately draws attention to the warning sticker: the manufacturer recommends operating fluids only of the "Total" brand. It will not be difficult to buy them in the megalopolis, but in the provinces they may not be found. What if the nearest dealer is hundreds of kilometers away from home? Then use liquids of other brands, but be sure to have similar properties. For example, the class of synthetic motor oil must be at least AZ / B4, and mineral water - C2 (according to ACEA).Viscosity index but SAE not lower than 5W-30 for middle and southern latitudes and 0VV-30 for northern latitudes.

We drain the working off from the warmed-up engine by unscrewing the plug in the oil pan. The edges are very low, and the open-end wrench can "lick" them, so it is better to work with a "24" head or a "8" square - there is a depression in the cork for it. When replacing the filter cartridge, be sure to change the O-ring (you will find it in the original kit). To prevent it from twisting when screwing on the cap, lubricate it. We tighten the cap with a torque of 25-30 Nm and, of course, exactly along the thread - I warn you, because you can blunder.

There is neither a dipstick nor a control plug in the manual gearbox. This is bad, because if oil leaks through the crankcase seals or oil seals, then it is not clear how much to top up. It's another matter if the unit is sealed. Then, unscrewing the drain plug with a key "21" or a square "8", drain everything to a drop and pour exactly 2 liters of fresh oil through another plug (it is on top of the crankcase). Then, as the manufacturer assures, the level will be normal. According to the official regulations, the oil cannot be changed, but, according to experience, it should be changed every 100,000 km.

The vending machine also does not have a dipstick and a control plug. Here they are replaced by a foot for a hexagon “by 8”, which is located under the plug on the pallet (it is under a square on). Having unscrewed both of these parts on the idle engine, we drain the working off into a measuring container, after which we screw the foot into place, and then the cork. Through the turned-out breather (or the plug on top of the crankcase), fill in fresh oil in a volume of 0.3-0-5 liters more than the drained one and start the engine. Warming it up to 60 * C, we translate the box selector in all positions with a 2-3-second delay in each of them and, leaving the growl in position P, unscrew the drain plug (do not touch the futorka!). The excess will merge, and only the required amount of oil will remain in the unit - along the cut of the upper hole in the case. By the way, but according to the previous regulations, the oil was considered "eternal", but due to frequent failures of the AL4 box (aka DP0 for Renault and ALA for Peugeot), the first oil change is now provided for 15 thousand km. and the next one is recommended with a mileage of 90 thousand km. Dealers do not change the filter, rightly believing that the unit will not survive until the third oil change. Say, then, when the box is completely disassembled, we will change the filter, otherwise it's not easy to get to it - it is behind the pallet and the hydraulic plate.

Prepare a wide container before changing the coolant. There is no drain plug in the radiator, so we will drain it by removing the lower pipe. In this case, you run the risk of splashing and scalding.

Of course, you can wait until the motor cools down, but then the thermostat valve will open and some of the liquid will remain trapped. However, this part is small. After filling the system, do not forget to remove air locks from it! For this, there are two valves under the blue caps - one in the heater pipe (at the bulkhead of the bulkhead), the second on the thermostat body.

We change the air filter: after releasing the retainer, we pull up the plastic resonator of the air duct, simultaneously removing the corrugation from it. We unscrew the bolt securing the filter housing and loosen the pipe clamp on the throttle assembly. Now we remove the brake reservoir, turned out a couple of self-tapping screws under - Torks-20, and take it to the side.

Shaking the body up and down, we move the pipe from the throttle assembly and take out the body. We turn out the self-tapping screws around the perimeter and, after removing the cover, we change the element. When assembling, make sure that the branch pipe is firmly seated on the throttle assembly!

To replace the spark plugs, unscrew the six self-tapping screws of the engine decorative lining and four bolts of the ignition modules. Remove the crankcase ventilation hoses by pressing on the yellow tip clamps. Raising the module so that the tips come out of the candle wells, we lay it across the valve cover - in this position it does not block access and is held on the wiring (the plug was not disconnected). Candles - turnkey for 16 ".

There is an automatic machine in the drive of the Attached Aggregates, which is great - you can't go wrong with the belt tension!

For a timing belt, about the same device, but semi-automatic. To set it in working condition, it is necessary to combine the arrow on the moving sector with the front sight on the stationary one. If you had to change a belt with a similar drive pattern, there will be no difficulties. Another thing, according to the French tradition, in the pulley-crankshaft connection, there is not a single dowel pin. That is, by unscrewing the central bolt, you can endlessly select the correct position of the shaft with the pulley. Here you cannot do without mandrels! There is nothing special in them: drills are also suitable for fixing the camshafts, and a more or less experienced car mechanic can make a hook for the crankshaft from a 6 mm bar. But it is better to entrust this work to specialists.

At the same time, let them change the rear pads - here you need devices for screwing in pistons, which not everyone has. Moreover, in the mechanisms of the "Bosch" company (they were installed until 2006), the pistons have to be turned in different directions, which means that two devices will be required - with a right thread and with a left one. It is easier with the front pads, it is only important to orient them correctly: the bevel of the lining should be on top. Of course, do not forget to clean the assembly from wear products and lubricate. And change the guide bolts - they, with locking sealant on the thread, are supplied in the original kit.

At first glance, changing bulbs in headlights is not difficult. It seems that the access is normal, and it is easy to remove the rubber plugs of the case. This is confusing: when a headlight lamp burns out, the owner takes over. It was not so! The block sits so tightly that the efforts of the fingers are simply not enough, and it is not possible to stick a brush in order to grip it tighter - the opening is not enough. I just want to pull off the connector with pliers. Take your time - you can easily pull out the landing sleeve on the reflector by the roots. It is better to make the simplest device: we bend a strip of steel 1.5x10x150 mm in the shape of a hook, sharpening the tip on emery under a wedge. We push it into the gap between the block and the lamp and, shaking and moving the mandrel around the perimeter of the block, gradually move it from the lamp. And to understand the principle of fixing the lamp, we use a mirror.

With front foglights, the same problem as with many other cars: there is a lot of dirt in the work area. In addition, here you need to remove the bumper skirt - unscrew seven bolts for "Torks-20", three under the key "for 10" and also squeeze out a couple of latches. It is extremely inconvenient to work without a lift.

We remove lanterns to replace lamps - such is, sadly enough, the current trend. Having removed the pockets And taking out two pistons in the trunk lining, we bend it back and unscrew the plastic lamb. It may not go by hand, and then it is not a sin to use pliers. At the five-door we also remove the reflector, and at the three-door we overcome the grip of the additional retainer, pulling the lantern out of the seat.

Maintenance of this machine is below average pleasure and is the fruit of the current general trend towards complicating operations that should be extremely simple. A guess is involuntarily born; and if it is intended - so that dealers will not be left without work?

Turbine repair on Citroen C4 Picasso 1.6 HDi

Repair of automatic transmission DP0 AL4 Renault, Citroen, Peugeot

Citroen C4 steering rack repair. Citroen C4 steering rack repair in St. Petersburg.

there is such a hatch:

We pull it more boldly, open it and take out the filter. As you can see, the filter turned out to be crumpled, they shoved it at the OD and FSUs, but I think it’s so dusty in the cabin!

We carefully insert the new one so that it properly closes the intake, you can visually check, the hatch is in place, the Shumka is in place.

Now the air filter, here of course it is more difficult, at first I was worn out, how to unscrew the distant screw

BUT I went the wrong way, the filter must be removed entirely, but I wanted to open it in place, we remove the battery, I threw out the casing from it for a long time, so it’s not long to remove it, the air intake is also removed for a short time, twist the corrugation clockwise and pull it out, and he himself is simply attached to the latch:

We also unscrew the tank with the brake, now the access is better, unscrew the bolt holding the filter housing:

disconnect the air vent by clicking on the "yellow":

it does not hold anything else, we carefully take it out and open it without steaming, I brought it home, cleaned it of the sand, inserted a new filter.

Now the candles, remove the cover from the engine (6 screws), disconnect the air ducts by pressing the "yellow" button, so as not to interfere

unscrew the block with candle caps (4 screws), take out this block

we take a candlestick and unscrew the candles (I broke one key, took a reinforced one, they were tightened conscientiously!)

The candles, in principle, are workers (passed 36,000) - they have a coffee color (let's leave it, they will suddenly come in handy!)

And now everything is in reverse order, without hurrying, with feeling, with proper arrangement!

I still have the front brake pads (I also think I'll replace it myself), I decided to try "TEXTAR", tk. my relatives creak terribly, these I can say at random, but I hope for the best, the firm seems to be normal and there are also rubber bands for the brushes (not native, but suitable), I will change them closer to spring, now I don’t see the point:

and if anyone is interested here is the invoice for spare parts (prices 2008):

oil, I went and replaced it at the station, I was reluctant to take off the armor, they sucked it for 200 r, to unscrew the oil filter you need a head on "27", now everything seems to be ... Maybe someone will come in handy!
—————————————

One of the specializations of our stations is the high-quality repair of Citroen C4. In our car services there is a specialized tool for repairing Citroen C4. Consumables, oils and fluids are available for routine maintenance. Within a couple of hours, from the main warehouse, we will bring any spare parts for repairing Citroen C4.

Before starting repairs to Citroen C4 we will make free diagnostics suspension, engine or electrics (free diagnostics in case of repair at our service stations). We do not recommend doing DIY Citroen C4 repairs. Everyone must do their job. You need to entrust the repair of your car to those who do it every day.

Citroen C4 repair cost:

It is recommended to carry out routine maintenance and maintenance of Citroen C4 every 7-10 thousand km. mileage. This necessarily includes changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter and cabin filter. When carrying out scheduled work, we will make free diagnostics of all vehicle components and draw up a list of recommendations.

Every 60 thousand km. mileage, we recommend changing the timing belt with rollers, and if the motor is chain, then it is better to replace the chain every 120 thousand km. It is better to replace the candles every 40 thousand kilometers on gasoline engines and 100 thousand kilometers. mileage on a diesel engine. On Citroen C4 models with adaptive throttle valve, it is recommended to clean and adapt the throttle valve every 60 thousand km.

The most famous problems and malfunctions of the Citroen C4:
- acidification of the caliper pistons with subsequent uneven wear of pads and discs;
- unsuccessful design of the fuel filter - the car jerks, stalls, troit;
- creak in the car interior due to low-quality plastic - gluing with anti-creak material;
- a problem with the box - early failure of bearings and primary shaft oil seals;
- in standard cooling radiators, leak at the junction with the side part;
- a tight steering wheel - a problem with the power steering of the car - a bulkhead or replacement, according to the result of diagnostics.

The degree of wear of the Citroen C4 wheel bearing can only be determined through diagnostics.

Warranty for all repair work Citroen C4 - 6 months.

The service life of automatic transmissions of Citroen is one of the smallest in the class of passenger cars. The obsolete AL4 transmission has been in production since the late nineties and has never been refined during that time. The high risk of failure reduces all its advantages to almost zero.

One of the worst enemies of all Citroen automatic transmissions on C4 and C5 cars is the overheating of the box when driving at high speeds. In this box, everything can overheat and fail: from the mechanical part to the valve body and the electronic control unit. Overheating usually results in a whole range of problems from interruptions with pressure inside the box and abnormal operation to the failure of its individual parts.

The second enemy of this automatic transmission is dirty and old oil. If it is untimely replaced on C4 and C5 cars, the inside of the box will be clogged with various debris, which will lead to oil starvation and subsequent failure of its various parts.

Despite its racing past, Citroen is now focused on mass production of cars focused on quiet urban exploitation.

With an aggressive driving style, with quick starts from a standstill, chaotic gear changes, constant braking on C4 and C5 cars, the resource of the box goes out very quickly.

Despite the fact that the design of AL4-DP0 is very simple, rational and there is nothing superfluous in it, it easily breaks down. This is due to unnecessary savings in materials for the manufacture of everything inside the box. The low cost of C4 and C5 cars with this box ensured the habit of using a car with automatic transmission in Europe. At the same time, services and craftsmen were forced to appear on the territory of Europe, who quickly learned how to return these transmissions to operation.

Automatic transmission AL4 (DP0) for Citroen cars

The AL4 design includes a heat exchanger to cool the oil temperature. This arrangement means that the box operates under critical temperature loads. In hot summer and in traffic jams, it mercilessly overheats, electronics and valve body suffer. Using it at high temperatures quickly destroys the elements of the box. Although at temperatures no higher than 90 degrees, this box can work for a very long time.
The blocking of the torque converter clutch on C4 and C5 cars is already triggered from the second gear, this somewhat reduces the heating, but wears out the torque converter clutch more and contaminates the oil with its decay products.

Contaminated oil carries particles from the gearbox mechanisms directly to the heat exchanger, where they successfully settle and contaminate it, reducing its capacity and heat transfer. The heat exchanger stops cooling the oil, the transmission temperature rises and the valve body with solenoids starts to work very badly. This problem is solved by replacing the heat exchanger with a radiator paired with a thermostat. Cleaning or replacing the heat exchanger is not advisable. In the first case, this solves the problem for a very short time. In the second, the heat exchanger is too expensive and a new one will quickly litter anyway.

Despite Citroen's claim that it is not necessary to change the oil in new models of their cars, experts say that this procedure is needed every 200,000 kilometers. The oil for AL4 is selected mineral and it is inexpensive.

The dashboard in the car Citroen C5

However, there is some truth in Citroen's statement. You can really drive C4 and C5 cars without changing the oil, just with a good load after 200,000 kilometers, instead of oil, you will need to change the gearbox assembly.

Electrics in AL4 also lack weaknesses. Among the leaders in terms of replacement, the leading positions are occupied by pressure regulators and solenoids. They have design flaws and outright flaws immediately upon release by the manufacturer. Their replacement is obligatory at the first intervention in the box. Usually, the most problematic solenoids are subject to replacement: the line pressure solenoid and the torque converter lockup solenoid. They should not be replaced with original ones - they have not been produced for a long time and the car owner will find cheaper analogs in boxes with “originals”. At the same time, sellers shrug their shoulders. The solenoid responsible for regulating the pressure fails first, the box overheats and the valve body slowly kills. Together with their replacement, it is better to change the bushings - this will provide the solenoids with a longer service life. The other six solenoids are usually very long-lasting and do not need to be replaced.

Valve body AL-4 for automatic transmission Citroen

Plain bearings (bushings) in this automatic transmission act as seals. The wear of the bushings leads to a whole bunch of problems: they let oil through, the bags begin to experience oil starvation, the electronics are trying to saturate everything with pressure, opening the valve to full, the pump and the pressure solenoid begin to die before our eyes.

Plus, the clutches are also killed. If this operation was not carried out before the first problems with the box, it is better to change the entire set of bushings. Bushings should be installed non-original.

The valve body of this box is the main sufferer of overheating and contaminated oil, it clogs easily. The metal plate can overheat so much that its metal deforms and breaks some of the mechanisms inside. Moreover, this applies equally to all possible modifications of the valve body for different engines of different years of production of these cars. From pressure losses, friction clutches begin to slip and wear off. For their complete failure, several hours of operation of the box on burnt oil are enough. The clutches made of compressed paper are erased and clogged with shavings all the same long-suffering valve body. If the block is dirty and has already been driven by burning oil, flushing it will do nothing.Repair of valve body and electrical part of automatic transmission CitroenDuring overhaul, it is necessary to check the geometry of the body of the hydraulic plate. Until 2011, with the deformation of the block, the bolts of the upper layer of the body were also deformed. If the valve body is still out of order, it is easier and cheaper to replace it with a new one.Together with the clutches, the brake band also suffers from dirty oil. It is better not to expose cars with this automatic transmission to slipping in snow and mud. Prolonged driving with a faulty brake band and piston leads to wear on the drum of the third pack.DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON REPAINING!
Now you yourself can remove any scratch from the body of your car in just 5 seconds.Among the stuffing boxes and seals, the pump cuff is usually the first to fail. If there is an oil leak, then, most likely, replacing the oil seals and gaskets will not help. This is a symptom of wear on the torque converter bushings and cheap replacement of oil seals is not enough.In terms of consumables, the undisputed leader is the second gear clutch package, the first package burns less often.The most recent in the list of repairs are the planetary gear set and a reliable back cover.The repair of this box is well known to craftsmen around the world, most of them learned all the intricacies of automatic transmission repair on it. Parts, repair kits and consumables are usually available in stores and can be obtained within a few hours.In order for the automatic transmission not to fail ahead of time, it is enough to follow the simplest rules and recommendations.

Always, even in summer, warm up the box before any trip. Even if the car was only left for a few hours in warm weather. The oil must pass through all the insides of the box before starting.

Before starting a trip, drive the gearbox through gears, staying in each position for at least 30 seconds.

Avoid high engine speeds for the first few kilometers.

When driving actively, especially in summer, do not overheat the box and slip.

If the stopping time is more than 2 minutes, switch the selector to park or neutral. If stopping takes less time, never switch the selector to neutral.

When driving in winter, it is better to drive the first kilometers in winter mode (snowflake).

When parking in winter on a slope, first turn on neutral, then the handbrake and only then the parking position.

Parking a car in winter on a slopeMost of the repairs arise due to violation of operating conditions, lack of understanding by the driver of the features of driving a car with an automatic transmission and untimely oil change. It is better not to check how much the box can travel if you do not change the oil. Moreover, the replacement procedure itself on C4 and C5 cars is very simple and anyone can do it with their own hands if there is a garage or overpass. If this is not done, then very soon the car owner will have a Citroen automatic transmission repair. The rest of the repair procedures should be entrusted to experienced service station specialists.

In order for your Citroen C4 to serve faithfully to its owner, you need to constantly monitor its technical condition. Regular diagnostics and repairs of the Citroen C4 are the key to trouble-free operation.

To repair the Citroen C4 less often, you must first of all monitor consumables that change either after a set period, or depending on the mileage. Checking and replacing consumables on the Citroen C4 is done according to the routine maintenance table, which indicates the intervals with the mileage and the type of work.

Repair of Citroen C4 and replacement of consumables includes:

Change the oil in the Citroen C4 engine
Change the oil filter Citroen C4
Change cabin filter for Citroen C4
Change the oil in the automatic transmission Citroen C4
Change power steering fluid Citroen C4
Replace antifreeze with Citroen C4

Timely replacement of oil and filters for Citroen C4 will significantly reduce the cost of repairs in the future. A clogged air filter will prevent the engine from passing the required amount of air, causing it to choke and consume more fuel.

If you do not change the oil for Citroen C4, then it will lose its properties, become very cloudy and thicken, simply turning into a thick substance, that is, fuel oil. This oil does not lubricate the moving parts, but only hinders their operation.

The price for repairing a Citroen C4 consists of the following components:

Prices for spare parts Citroen C4 for repair;
Price for the work of an auto repairman / specialist;

The most expensive are original spare parts for Citroen C4 from the manufacturer. Each such spare part has its own part-number, by which you can find analogues from other manufacturers. The prices for non-original spare parts for the Citroen C4 are lower than the factory ones, but there is a possibility of getting a low-quality fake, which has a short service life, or will not work at all. Filters, oils, candles, belts, brake discs for Citroen are faked most often, since there is always a demand for them.

Types of payment for the repair of Citroen C4:

official, with documents and a guarantee;
unofficial, without documents, by personal agreement.

First of all, it is necessary to clearly set the tasks for repairing Citroen C4, and if the problems are not obvious, then diagnose Citroen. Teapot car enthusiasts are always welcome to service, because they can be imposed a number of works and replacement of spare parts that are not necessary.

In a car service, prices for Citroen C4 repairs can be fixed for each type of service and be the same for all car brands: suspension diagnostics, oil change, replacement of pads, replacement of air filters. An alternative price option, when payment is made for "1 standard hour", for each car model it has its own.

In this case, each Citroen C4 repair operation is determined by timing, that is, the time it takes. This is called "Rate of Labor". Each car manufacturer indicates these numbers in the tables of reference books for each car model separately.

It often happens that the repair of a Citroen C4 from a mechanic takes longer than the standardspecified in the work reference. In this case, you have the right to pay only for the fixed standard hours allotted for this operation. Whether the auto repairman will do it more slowly, or faster, depends on his qualifications.

It is very important to require the issuance of a work order for the volume of work you have chosen to repair the Citroen C4, as this will avoid disagreements, show your awareness and will be a significant argument if something goes wrong. Indicate what to do with old parts after replacement: return to the client (that is, you), or the car service will dispose of them on its own.

The ideal option is not to give the car keys to anyone, under any circumstances., and only get behind the wheel yourself. Completely supervise the repair of Citroen C4, being in the working area with a car technician all the time. Such conditions often contradict the safety precautions of a car service, but this will save you from most of the problems, and the repair service will be as transparent as possible.

If for the repair of the Citroen C4, according to the rules of the car service, it is required to hand over the car, then be sure to draw up an act of acceptance of the car for repair. This procedure involves the transfer of the car key, and often the registration certificate. An employee of a car service independently drives the car into a box, or onto a lift.

Citroen C4 acceptance certificate for repair or diagnostics includes:

List of works and faults required to repair the car;
List of spare parts for replacement;
Diagram and description of the presence / absence of defects on the car, which do not require elimination during the repair process;
Completeness of the car: things, tools, accessories not related to repair.

Upon completion of the work, it is necessary to verify all the points for the documented repair and the actually performed. One employee can take a car, a second to repair a Citroen C4, and a third to hand over a job. If any inconsistencies are found later, it will be more difficult to prove it.
