Citroën C4 Cactus
The lightweight hatchback with the Airbump side panels, and worth separating from the C4 because it is a different vehicle on PF1 rather than a version of it. Two things are unusual enough to change a diagnosis. The ETG automated manual is a single-clutch robotised gearbox, not a torque-converter automatic and not a dual-clutch — its shift-quality complaints are clutch-actuator and position-sensor faults. And early cars used a roof-mounted airbag and a fixed pop-out rear window, both of which are body items unlike anything else in the range.

PF1 rather than the C4's platform; the ETG single-clutch gearbox and the roof-mounted airbag are both unlike anything else Citroën sold.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
