According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Hi everyone,

I am looking to sell my N Reg Red, failing laquer Activa. It has MOT until 05/07/2014

I've been using it about twice a week to drive to work. It had all the spheres done when I got it (three years I'm guessing, but time flies). It is generally fine mechanically, but not great and it is tatty with the failed laquer.

Its in Witney...

Great video on youtube

at 0:32 you can see one of the rear wheels lift off the ground cornering, and again a few minutes later. I don't think i ever pushed my 2 Activa's that hard on corners when i had them , but i would have expected the car to lose grip before doing the wheel lift. Is this how they are suppose to act under extreme cornering...

Being made from a softer material is probably a good thing as anyone who has replaced more than one set of guides will know if you look closely the guide rods themselves suffer wear from rubbing hard against the rubber/plastic guides. Having a softer and more sacrificial guise material is probably better long term to make the rods last longer...

How many Activas left.... on FCF

First post

as above really, lets see how many we have on the FCF. This is NOT for cars you've seen or ones you know of just ones that you own. Just trying to keep numbers accurate.

I've put multiple options so that those of you with Activa addictions can select more than one.

We'll then combine the poll and see what we have :)

Bleeding and flushing the lhm circuit

HI all,

I am a new owner of a 1998 2.1td red Activa with 210,000 kms on the clock I am her 3rd owner and she has been really looked after. But she takes a long time to lift at the back and drops slowly when parked sometimes more on one side. After looking through many topics I have come to the opinion that maybe my LHM circuit needs to be flushed...

These are the normal dashboard light bulbs. I cannot speak for this seller, but the reason I chose this one is because the image shows a good close-up of the bulb, which shows how the wire loops around the base;

Activa Parts

With parts becoming harder and harder to find I thought I'd start a thread as I've been asked by a couple of people as well...

What Activa or V6 parts are common failures that it's worth building up a stock of?

Is it worth compiling a list and getting some group buy prices?

So far I've got:

405911 x 4 - Rear Activa Ram Bush - £11 retail...

I'm running a solid one at the moment, the same as Jim's design but I made it myself.

As soon as I get any problems with it then I'm going to put the Peugeot one in.
