Hi all, am new to the site. I am in the process of purchasing a C4 Grand Picasso on a 09 plate it is the 2.0HDi Exclusive. It has paddle gear change and has been well looked after full service history low mileage. Are there any downfalls I should look out for? I have a printout on the car. It is the 138 bhp but how can I tell if it's EGS or not? | ||||

If it has got paddle shift then it is an EGS gearbox, It is a semi auto box not a full auto. If there are ANY noises from the gear box then beware as they are very expensive to repair |

Check the rear suspension. It is likely to be pneumatic as it's an Exclusive, which is prone to leaking and failure. | ||||

The full automatic also has paddle shifts. The difference will the gear change; it will also have P (park) if a full auto. | ||||

Just a quick add on to my post. In the printout I have it states Engine: diesel turbo DW10BTED4 FAP. Transmission: 6 speed controlled manual gearbox mcd manual As I said, the car is an 09 with 28,000 waranted miles. It's the 138 bhp and I am looking forward to picking it up. It is being serviced on Friday and being checked out and it does come with a 3 month warranty but I have the option to extend it. The reason I am mainly going for a paddle shift car is my son has one (a smart car) plus need new knee so should be a lot easier. |

It sounds like the EGS. Mine has a 4 position lever at the top of the steering wheel. Marked R. N. A. M. When in A, the gear change can be a bit violent (mine suddenly slows before the change) but the M Manual is a lot better. There is a post somewhere on the forums about using the EGS. I would read that before picking it up as it has some useful tips. |
