Ouch, Guy... that's an expensive day out!!
My Sister's had a wobble a few months back, but new fuel filter sorted it; still waiting on it to drop another injector....
Hopefully the new BlueHdi engines are not similarly afflicted!
Hi Richard, I know this is resurrecting an old thread but I'm just wondering if there were any further developments with your sisters C4 Picasso?
Long story short with ours is, approx 10k miles ago, ESP/ASR message on the dash and limp mode (won't rev over 2k rpm)
Got away with turning it off and back on again and all was well, it was approx 55k miles on the clock then, thought at the time, this needs a service so booked it in with my mechanic, told him what had happened and he made a phone call to a Citroen technician. He advised the fuel filter replacement as that's always a good starting point with these engines?
Did that, had the car back and all was ok for around another 10k miles. (For the most part, I have felt the very odd hesitation or splutter throughout that mileage but very rare I just dismissed it)
So, a few days ago, same again, on my way back from work. A/C on (if that makes any difference) doing a 30minute drive of varying speed between 40~60mph.
Pulled over, engine off, back on still there...
This went on a few more times before this time, I got it recovered home...
I remembered what was said last time, so got a Bosch fuel filter from eurocarparts and replaced it. Started her up and revving fine, all good except the warning message still on...
Got my OBD2 Bluetooth connector and Torque app out and reset the fault codes, engine off back on all is good this time, no messages...
Took it for a 4mile drive, bit of spluttering here and there, I put that down to air in the filter maybe?
Until, it happened again... Ugh... Pulled over, reset the faults with Torque again, engine off back on and fine again.
Now it's been fine for around another 6 or 7 miles now, but I don't trust it.
I'm sure I felt it hesitate again today, I've stripped some of the engine down and used a mirror to see the injectors, they look clean and dry, it's only done 66k miles and we don't use supermarket fuel so I really don't know what's going on...
Any ideas at all (anyone?)
Thanks!
Adam.
