Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

C5 interior

I've just bought a 57 plate C5 VTR 6 speed 1.9 turbo diesel.
I'm very happy with it, loving the hydropneumatic suspension.
I'm tempted to change the interior for a leather one, but is it an easy job?
The leather seats have all kinds of features in them, will they just bolt in and utilise the same block connector and not need coding etc?

Hi and welcome.

There weren't any 1.9 C5s, they only produced in the MK II a 1.6, 2.0 and 2.2 engined diesel.

As for the interiors - the seats are very similar with some parts identical - but you may not have the wiring necessary in the loom. Certainly the MK I C5 wiring is different to the MK II and in the MK II the intermediate wiring looms...

Dear Board

Have had a look around here and see that it is most likely resistor failure.

Just wanted to check this observation. Fan is on all the time at constant speed from Auto, 0 then through 1,2 & 3 marks BUT past 4th mark it goes to FULL blast. Would this indicate anything other than a resistor fail?

Thanks

Was looking at my car to see if I could determine where a vibration would be coming from and noticed this rust inside the engine bay.
It is close to where the strut is mounted.

Is this a big problem for the integrity of the car or can it be fixed? If so, what would be required to fix it in terms or work?

Getting a bit...

It's quite difficult to work out what the problem is without having the car in front of you. Things like shock mount bushes and bearings can create vibration as can worn drop links, anti roll bar bushes and worn inner tie rods. For a cheap test secure the air box with a bungee cord if the vibration is gone job done.

Parking sensor fault after MOT

by faddy » 16 Oct 2019, 20:05

First post

Had my C5 X7 MOT'd today at Halfords (I know, I know, but the test was free) and the first time I reversed after collecting the car the parking sensors were in fault mode (exclamation mark and four bars on the display, and continuous tone). Anything obvious that they might have inadvertently disconnected during the test?

Last post

If you have one sensor out it can affect the the whole system.

If you have a Lexia, connect up and run a global test and it will tell you which sensors are faulty (or whether there is another fault).

Before I tell you the manual test, I suggest you go into the boot and check you have not had any liquid spills of any sort! Lift the boot mat and...

What is the function of this sensor?

by sanlo » 15 Oct 2019, 01:16

First post

Hey everyone,
I'm the recent owner of a Xsara 2001 1.6 (tu5jp4). The car had a rough life with previous owners doing sketchy repairs and weird mods.
I had a lot of electrical issues (still trying to fix most of it), so I'm trying to find obvious wrong things with it. A few weeks ago I went under the car and found this sensor disconnected. The...

Last post

I can't be sure what the yellow one is - or the others from a picture - you would need to look at a wire on the insulation and provide a code number.

There are various coloured connectors, so this is a guess:
4 pin Blue could be the front downstream oxygen sensor
3 pin white could be the vehicle speed sensor
4 pin grey could be the ignition coil...

ABS Wheel Sensor

by richarda » 16 Oct 2019, 12:39

First post

Hi There

New to the forum
I have a 2011 Grand C4 Picasso 1.6 HDI VTR+

Does anyone know if the front ABS Wheel sensor can be removed by *just* undoing the Torx bolt ?

I have got the bolt out no problem but the sensor doesn't move at all - I didn't want to force in case I break it.

It cant move towards the hub as it has a lug sticking out right...

Last post

The contact cleaner sounds like a good idea too.

Just for info:-
2 years ago the brake pedal input pin 30 to the ABS Module was not making contact - I ended up fixing it by jamming a bit of telephone wire in the female end of the connector and then plugging it back in.
Not an ideal fix I know - I only did it to confirm the voltage on the pin...

After 5 and half years of sterling service I have sold my C5 2.0HDI 163hp late 2011 tourer model with 180000 miles. It behaved perfectly and never let me down and had the best headlights for a halogen car ever. It is a superbly built and super comfortable cruiser. It is still on its original clutch and exhaust and I used it to go up and down the...

DA vs LDS

by bobins » 26 Nov 2015, 22:47

First post

Apologies if this has been covered before, but is there actually any difference between Total Fluide DA and Total fluide LDS ? ....apart from the label on the bottle and the fact that one is cheaper than the other ! They both share the same PSA spec number, they both share the same characteristics, they both share the same properties, they even...

Last post

I think it's a stock issue - my dealer has only fluid DA. Once stocks of LDS go it will only be DA and of course with no more hydraulic Citroens being produced, it makes sense for them to stick to the one label of DA which is used in a lot of PSA steering systems.

C4 Picasso 2011 1.6 e-Hdi

First post

Misfiring when at neutral throttle (progressing through town). OK when accelerating or going at speed. Now diagnosed as needing 4 injectors + other bits that are proving difficult to translate. Injectors 1248euros for 4 (£1080). Other bits £260. Labour £260. Is it normal for all 4 to need replacing? My first thought was something controlling...

Last post

It will depend on what the diagnostic says about each injector - not it's not normal for all 4 to go, but the garage may recommend changing the lot to save future labour - but difficult to say without knowing what the faults are.

Berlingo wont unlock

by Dilligaf99 » 14 Oct 2019, 19:54

First post

Hi all, my 2012 berlingo has decided to not unlock anymore on the thobe or key. I've replaced the thobe battery for a new one and I managed to get the bonnet open from the outside and got the battery checked today and also the thobe checked to see if it was giving off a signal and everything is fine with both. I've spoke to citroen today and they...

He's taken the barrel to do this morning as he didn't have time last night and yes it does now unlock by putting the key in the lock as he cut it to the right shape but i find it strange it fitted the ignition and not the door locks, there was something also Jammed in the passenger door but he managed to get that sorted on site. God knows what the...

Dv6 engine question

by D11nyd 1 » 23 Mar 2019, 12:37

First post

Good morning everyone
I’ve just purchased a 2012 berlingo which the engine has gone on it

I’m trying to source an engine for it but there’s loads of variants of the Dv6eted
My question is does anyone know the difference between a DV6DTED (9HP) engine and a DV6ETED (9HN)?
Was hoping to fit a 9hp in my 9hn

Any info would be really appreciated...

OK great, many thanks for your reply :)

C3 2005 central locking failure

by C3Pre Own » 07 Oct 2019, 23:34

I've tried various online remedies including the different permutations suggested when disconnecting the battery, all without success. I now lock the drivers door with the key & the other doors using the key to turn the lock actuators in the door jams before closing them. The car is my daily runner, usually with only me in it so this a nuisance...

Last post

Battery is now charged, the new sump is fitted & the key does everything except operate the remote locking. I've done the re-syncing but that doesn't seem to have done anything. What can I try next?
