C5 wobble

Post by 406 V6 »

Hi1
I don't know if this is normal on other HP Citroëns, but my C5 wobbles a bit (sometimes "a bit" is "a lot"!) on intermediate or even on track height.
It happens when accelerating (mildly on intermediate, strongly on track))on 1st or 2nd gear (more noticeable). on intermediate it only does this till reaching 40kms/h when the suspension auto lowers to track height.
The stupid "mechanics" at the importer say this is normal, "we just updated the sofware, shouldn't do this no more"... is there a bad word for these people that i don't know?
I sometimes, not always, cure the problem by stoping and fully lowering the car, then proceed and let the suspension ECU heighten the car to normal heigh. This remebers me of model helicopters, when doing main blade dynamic adjustment before taking of.
A bit O/T, new disc were installed 'cos the others were warped, but because the garanty does not cover pads, ($$@£§€34!), these weren't replaced. Any cautions i should have for a few kms?
Thanks fellas
