Hi all, I am brand new to this forum and owning a C4. I purchased a Citroen C4 1.6 e-HDi Airdream EGS6 5dr 2012. I have noticed it has a really jerky gearbox when in start stop traffic and between 1st and 2nd gear, its really violent at times. Also, I have noticed when I am driving, and I take my foot off the gas to slow down, but need to speed up again, I press my foot on the gas, it revs really hard and doesn't move and then it jumps, like it jumps into gear possibly, It is really noticeable when travelling uphill, if I slow down and then put my foot on the gas, I can almost guarantee that the car will rev hard and then jump. Its really frustrating because I love my C4 and getting incredible MPG, Im not sure if this is the norm or should I take it to the garage?

It sounds like the clutch needs calibrating again. You can try the hard reset method before shelling out for Citroen to do it.
