Forum server settings changed

by xantia_v6 » 07 May 2024, 19:01 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Due to excessive server loading caused by some badly behaved 'bots' (automated content collectors), I have changed the anti-ddos settings on the site to be much more aggressive.

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

There may...

Last post

I have been keeping an eye on the server performance, and the every 5 minutes same addresses would flood the forum with requests for a few seconds before getting blocked again.

In the last hour they seem to have got bored and gone away.

It has nothing to do with the VIN. The BSI, Engine ECU and Transponder fobs are a paired set. These are paired at the factory. If either the BSI or the Engine ECU have been replaced or swapped, they wont work unless configured and paired with the existing units and this can only be done once, unless the replacement part is sent off to be wiped.

Hi Steve,
Your title does say 'What to look for?' I'd suggest .. a different car!!

Last post

Your car has a Lin Bus alternator which has a variable output voltage controlled by the engine ECU.

The amount of charge going into the battery is reduced to save fuel and under normal conditions, the battery is not charged to 100%. Perhaps this is to allow some extra efficiency by putting more charge into the battery while coasting downhill?

That's correct, main dealer diagnostics are about £100-120 an hour. You're supposed to be paying for the training and expertise of the technicians.

Hi FCF Team,

I have looked to see if this question is covered elsewhere, but don't think so? Sorry if being dorf!

On a 2009 Xsara Picasso petrol 1.6 DOHC.

Turn on ignition and even before engine start the car beeps once and the 'ABS fault non-function' message comes up.
But car drives normally and the light stays on all the time.

OBD reader...

Last post

Hi Wheeler,
Sorry for the slow reply to your good suggestions.
Yes, the ABS light comes on along with the message.
I had the car tested with a 'proper' OBD reader, still no fault codes.

I replaced the two front sensors (both were damaged) and cleaned the road dirt off the slotted rings. Close check showed up no cracks or missing segments. A...

Blistered paintwork

Hi all,

My car (Citroen C3 Feel Puretech) has developed blistered paintwork on one door panel (see picture).

Please can anyone advise me of the best way to treat this. Is it going to need a respray ?

Many thanks in advance

Jon

That has been my theory Marc. Like you say its coming from the inside out so does appear to have been a previous dodgy paint job.

Hi everyone, I'm new in the forum, I bought a Xsara Picasso 1.6 HDI with FAP 110CV in August 2022 and It has been working perfectly.

There seem to be lots of aftermarket ones available - the alternative part number may be a bit cheaper, and slightly easier to fit. As I said in that other thread, I am not at all sure how you would change this - got to be driveshaft out at least. I do wonder if you need to remove the water pump to free the bottom end.

But, is the V3 version...

C5 III X7, fail of manual brake-function

Hello,

I try to turn to this forum, because my C5 III X7 (2014 HDI Excl.) has a very special problem, maybe someone can help;
in the German forum there’s nearly nobody, who has similar trouble.
Code ‘C1555’ (only), manual brake-switching doesn’t work, automatic on/off is working as it should, P-Symbol displayed permanently, nothing else....

Last post

It was a C5 (2015) fault with manual braking 7092: electric handbrake / steering / 7095: electric handbrake assembly / wire 10 across the protective tube. About 10 cm from the connector to the electrical assembly. Wire 4430.

Has you taken the vehicle to anyone else / another garage just before this happened? If somebody has mucked about with the engine ECU they may well have mis-configured it.

Normally this happens when the fobs are not initialised after a car battery change of the batteries in the fobs and can be reinitialised following the relevant part after the...

Citroen Xsara Picasso tow bar wiring.

by jscadden » 24 Apr 2024, 00:35

First post

Just fitted a towbar to the car to tow a small trailer.

The towbar came with a wiring kit which included relay for use when certain circuitry was installed on the car .

The relay supplied is a TEB7AS 7 Way Universal Relay including buzzer.
Is this a necessity on this vehicle or can I just install a buzzer for the indicators?

Last post

It is necessary because they specify that they take the lighting signals and covert this into a 12V feed for the trailer lighting so it doesn’t take power from the lighting circuit on the car. That is why it is there and requires a 15a fused supply.

Of course it does not support vehicle ESP systems with a special towing programme which your...

Hi,
I have recently had the injectors replaced on the above vehicle, however, since replacement, 2 clamps have since snapped.
I have now ordered a complete set of 4 from my local Citroen agent plus matching bolts.
Has anyone else suffered this issue, is it an easy job for a relative novice to replace these at home.
Cheers

Thank you very much. It looks quite thorough. I might be able to remove the injector using that document.
I appreciate you taking the time to post up.

Adblue reprogramming legal option

by Arduer » 22 Apr 2024, 12:15

First post

Hi

I've come across a company offering a re- programming of the ECU which does not disable the Adblue system, but stops the car being affected by error messages, count down, going in to limp mode etc... It is claimed that it is a legal way to solve the issue of a faulty system. Does anyone have any experience of this? I'm not interested in the...

Last post

Sounds a bit sketchy, i'm guessing all they are doing is mapping the ECU to ignore & block all fault codes relating to the SCR system, the system may still work but if it did stop working you would have no idea that it has stopped working as if the system is not working it wont display any errors. I suppose you would realise when you aint had to...

I may be going to look at a car with this engine.

I get the impression it doesn't have such a rock solid reputation as the 2 litre versions, and may be more vulnerable if not being fastidiously looked after.

What are the potential problems, and what degree of scepticism is needed if looking at one which may not have full service history? Are...

Last post

Apparently it's the DV6C (9HD), so all looks well there.

@Richard, thanks for the info.
I had budgeted that I'll want to change the cambelt, as the car has only done 50k but is a 14 plate, a rough guess is hopefully around the £400/500 mark, but well worth it for piece of mind.

Really appreciate your replies. Ta very much

I've noticed slight increase in engine oil over 500miles on reflection so I've ordered a leak off test. Will share results once completed in case anyone else has similar in the future.

So you need to get it diagnosed properly as I said above. Do you think we magically know what the issue is? That's what diagnostic scanners are for, to help troubleshoot.

Well, more failure to report !
I paid a bit more for the pipe and tried out the ‘on-car’ flaring tool. The pipe looks very brassy coloured, but certainly stronger than plain copper.
