 Hi Guys,

looking for any ideas.

Had the two front shockers done at a Citroen dealership last week as Suspension Faulty alert kept coming up, and both were leaking. On return, the suspension fault alert still comes up, the front parking sensors don't work, the climate display doesn't work (although the heater is functioning), and the oil and tyre display isn't there anymore?

Checked the fuses and all are okay.

 Go back to the dealer who made an ar*e of the job and didn't check everything out before handing back the car

 Agree with Dave.

Might just be worth telling us which dealership 'completed' the work for you, or at least post a review on the forum?

 A connector not coupled up properly possibly, but would imagine it's nothing serious if all were working before..................

 Just had my front shocks and spheres plus rear drop links replaced and the garage - Koping Motors Dublin, did a great job. The car's ride is now transformed and everything working as it should be.

Was it pulling to the left, and is now sorted?

I ask because Dublin is a small place, not many C6s. My brother knows many mechanics and one asked him recently "your brother (me) had a C6 which pulled to the left, didn't he?", "well we had one in the other day did the same thing and we eventually cured it by changing the spheres".

 Just had car back from Hartwell's who have stated what they did with the suspension could not have caused the problems I am now having with the electrics. They have fixed the climate controls and they said the car did not recognise I had heating. They had to reinstall the heating programme from the computer. They can't find the fault with the suspension, front parking sensors, or display screen for water and oil temperature, and are not willing to give it any more time. I will need to find a C6 specialist in the area to have it all looked in to myself!!
