look like it on shiftronic mode - it manual then, you have to do the shift without clutch by paddle shift (if they have?) or the gear lever.

Wah, this is good. I notice that the gear knob is between + and - slots but I do not know what it is for. Afraid to do anything, the salesman just keep pressing a sign + next to the slot but nothing happen. Anyway, I hardly heard loud noise from the engine and the temperature indicator is maintain at normal - center of the gauge. I steering also has so many button, and I do not know whether two of the button refers to the paddle shift.
Perhaps if I am in the manual mode, is there any specific rpm at which I should change the gear, assuming I am in a normal driving conditions

The mechanics just said you need 10k a month to use the c4. Only one c4 in kuantan doing the normal servis, and he work as engineer. I think this guy must be working with oil and gas industry. From 2005 to 2012 for 100000 km is too much and they are confident that the car now have so many problems. It come to my surprise that these mechanics is acting differently from many mechanics that I have met. If they are specialist they should forcefully recommend the car, but the response scares me a lot.
Thre re several model of Citroen there and I feel sad the way thes expensive but exciting machine been treated, as if they are scrap unused useless, besi buruk. I wonderwhat the owner felt.
Only one guy who are expert on Citroen, and it seem they are monopoly the market around kuantan. I am sceptical in this situation and they are keep saying that car transmission problem is due to the solenoid - they refers it s sensor, difficult to get and takes time to order it. They said it normally takes 6 years if it is new. But new replacement there is no guarantee.
The engine may also vibrate because of the engine mounting, and I have got a chance to hold that thing.
I am start thinking again whether I should considering to buy the c4. Any suggestion will be very much helpful

You talk to the wrong person who know nothing, agreed the maintenance will be higher than many cars but still not that scaring! I have use a citreon ZX before (not a C4, but considering a new one now) just my 2 cts!

Dear bro br1
Today I test again the c4 but this time I am placing the gear lever at the right position (D sign is not there). I just remember it from the manual I download from the net. Well the experience is much better. The engine went smooth, and very satisfied. The used car owner also told me his best workshop in serdang raya where it is not expensive that those in Brooklyn. I decided to trade in my jimny and buy the car.
I kept the followings to be on safe side
A, drive less than 90 kmh
B. Follow strictly the maintenance schedule
C. Just send my car to authorised service center
D. Keep my saving rm3k every year for contigencies
E. Keep my nsr150 motobike if the car stay in the workshop for 3months so that I can still go to work
F. Driving within reach of the authorised workshop
Perhaps you can add some more if i forgot. Thanks

I kept the followings to be on safe side - IN CAPITAL
A, drive less than 90 kmh - NO NEED TO SAYANG SAYANG, 1ST 1000KMS, CHANGE ENGINE OIL & FILTER.
B. Follow strictly the maintenance schedule - FOLLOW BUT DO FOLLOW 100% - DO ON YOUR OWN AT SC OR OUTSIDE IF YOU WANTS AT 1/2 THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE SCHEDULE WILL KEEP YOUR CAR TROUBLE FREE
C. Just send my car to authorised service center - OK, THAT FINE
D. Keep my saving rm3k every year for contigencies - NEW CAR SHOULD BE ENOUGH
E. Keep my nsr150 motobike if the car stay in the workshop for 3months so that I can still go to work - AN INSURANCE
F. Driving within reach of the authorised workshop
Perhaps you can add some more if i forgot. Thanks
