220000 kms on my 2014 I.6 . Issues. Electric handbrake was repaired twice, break in Electric cable both times. Black patches appeared on top dash screen. Everything else wear and tear. Nice to drive bulletproof engine, economical, quite on the motorway, looks good, Value for money.. Buy a manual.
Have done 300k km on ehdi. Most issues related to wear and tear. Alternator replace at 180k. Injector 150k. Actuator 220k. Best to replace diesel filter every 20k. DPF cleaner every tank. Accumulator disable at 100k. . Currently into my 4th set of clutch. Suggest getting the bluehdi EAT6 version for less headache.
I have a an earlier model on a 09 plate, 162000 miles. Worth nothing on part exchange even with the extensive history, but comfortable, cheap to run and reliable. Have they cured the design fault that plagued the earlier model? Where the sills are on a normal car, they are a rust trap. Unfortunately, they aren't sills, and it's a major job to cure, causing some to just scrap the car.
Very good engines, yes. Just don't forget that after high miles, you will have to change the clutch in the automatic model as the ECU doesn't change correctly like a human does, causing the clutch to wear out faster. Oh and the timing belt. Otherwise, very good car and engine!
I have one, 2.0 EHDI 150 HP 2014, i buy it for 8.500€ with 217.000 KM, The cooling is fine but the heating of the cabin takes a long time. What could be the reason?
@@ShaksAutos i dont think that is the thermostat because he mantain 90° everytime, and if was the heater i think that the car should take more time starting and it doesnt (im talking inside in the cabin of car)
Hi thanks for the video- i have the same car and the massage button on the passanger side doesnt engage/ work do u know what the issue could be please ?
I own grand Picasso with a 1.2 puretech engine. I’ve already had the wet belt changed, Turbo and problems with the handbrake and air conditioning. I would never have brought a Citroen if it wasn’t for the wife. It was a good job I got it for a good price with very low miles.
@@sdhfpiuswrh yes more power but would cost me far more in the cost of Diesel. I’ve had no more issues since I’ve done all these things. It’s also has very good fuel consumption in petrol. The whole point in buying it was that’s it’s a small engine and £30 tax a year.
Couple of Questions. Q1- What's the 2 messages shown on top screen straight after you've pressed START button? Not clear to see in video. Q2- Are you pressing on bottom left steering wheel roller button at this point for some reason & if so is it in connection with Q1? Thanks for any replies as it's just something I've never noticed with mine & nothing in handbook. .
One of the messages was diesel fluid low which is similar to AdBlue. And yes I was pressing the button to clear the messages. I don’t remember the second message tbh
@@ShaksAutos Cheers. Had the dreaded Ad-Blu issues nearly 4 years ago but not been an issue since sorted. Now however I've got the P2683 Coolant Bypass Valve Control Circuit High error because the bypass valve in thermostat housing has kicked the bucket. Worst part is It's stuck closed which is just another sick little joke as it should never be able to do this & should only ever fail safe to open if it packs in. Closed of course blocks flow through radiator to get engine up to optimum efficient running temp sooner but then due to not opening causes gauge to hit half way mark even over just a 3 to 4 mile trip with cab heater on full pelt, usual optimum running temp is around a constant one 3rd on gauge. If fail safe was open only effect would be longer heat up with slight hit on fuel until up to steam but no risk of engine damage. As it is there's big risk of damage without having to keep stopping for things to cool off sufficiently to progress on any longer journey. Had Citroen for decades, but now name them Shitroen & be glad to get shut once this issue sorted.

Had an older 2008 semi automatic 110k before scrapping. Problems with electric handbrake, flooding into the footwells, front suspension had to be replaced on both sides, fuse box had to be replaced, rear brake caliper wouldnt release and needed replacing. Had to scrap the car last month due to too much rust. Brilliant design and comfortable to drive, huge boot but sadly it was build by the French and not the Japanese so quality is very poor.
The problem is not who built it. Every car from the 2000s are bad quality and unreliable. The C4 Picasso were made cheaply because they were not expensive to buy in the first place.
Hi guys! Wife gave birth to third child last month, and we’re looking to buy this car because our family expanded. I like this car, it’s beautiful (for my eye), but I’m a bit sceptic. ETG or EAT? 1.6 or 2.0? Petrol or diesel? I’m hopeless…
Btw, these gearboxes are all the same: clutch with a computer. It's just the name that's different and whether or not you have a "P" on the gearbox lever, that's it.
This is down to your mechanic. Its probably the valve cover. Mechanics will try and reuse your valve cover seals, often with a bit of sealant. The correct thing to do is replace the valve cover seal because rubber becomes hard and brittle over time, especially in a hot engine environment.
You forget about blown head gasket, auxiliary belt with tensioners every year, alternator wich is fucking expensive, battery management protection unit and the story is not end.
I own this car with the 1.6hdi surprisingly has enough power to pull past the speed limit and still give great mpg when there ,although I have owned a few cars with the dv6 engine over the years so know my way around them ok and they are fantastic if properly serviced I change the oil every 6k on them
Wouldnt touch the 2015 model biggest sack of shit going had mine a year and half has constant engine management issues regarding the adblue tank. Citreon know the problem but wont do fuck all about if you have this issue which many people have had it will cost you around 1500 for a new tank and if your lucky it mught last a year. Getting rid of mine stear well clear

Is C4 picasso 2014 1.6 exclusive good to buy? Any suggestions please 🙏
It should be fine but do your check on it before buying. Preferably take a mechanic with you

Bad thermostat or heater motor.
@@ShaksAutos i dont think that is the thermostat because he mantain 90° everytime, and if was the heater i think that the car should take more time starting and it doesnt (im talking inside in the cabin of car)
That's normal, the engine has to warm up.
Ok then. Thank you. I will reconsider my choice.
Just get the dpf cut out and car mapped. Better mpg, more power, no more ad blue to top up.

how much km it had when replaced wet belt?
I would never buy a car with that engine, I mean they sell this with 2.0 diesel, way better for such a big vehicle

Owned 2 of these . And same problems with handbrake not working .
I’ve got this car 2017 automatic model and it’s just started to judder randomly and nearly cut out. No warning light. Anyone experienced this?
Ive had this happened a couple of times and mechanic couldn’t tell me what the problem was. Did you find out s it?
I have the feeling that it could be a bad engine mount or maybe a bad diesel/petrol filter. Doesn't cost much though. Like 15 euros and is easy to do.

No he didn't forget the creaking steering wheel!

Hi, 1.6 diesel manual the best
I have this vehicle and oil is leaking.even after fix . still always new issues coming all the time

I have the same citroen
Why do people buy this with the puny 1.6hdi is beyond me. 2.0hdi is the only appropriate for it.
I own this car with the 1.6hdi surprisingly has enough power to pull past the speed limit and still give great mpg when there ,although I have owned a few cars with the dv6 engine over the years so know my way around them ok and they are fantastic if properly serviced I change the oil every 6k on them
Because in some countries (like mine) anything with 2.0+ has way higher taxes than smaller engines
