Hi everyone,

Just curious if someone already changed the oil seal from injection pump on RHH engine. The pump code is 9424A050A and is known that oil from the engine is dropping on the antifreeze hose coming from the water pump and in time that hose will break. I know that there is also a service bulletin with this issue.
I just bought the oil...

Hello!

I own a 2014 C5 2.2 HDI and my pops got a 2015 2.0 HDI, which has an extra button I wish I had : interior tailgate opening button, situated on the right near the steering wheel.
My car has the blank buttons. I was wondering if there is any schematic for the 2015 model that I could mimic in order to have the same feature.
Important mention:...

Hi

Thanks

Citroen c3 picasso.

Why did i do it. Well needed abit more room but not massive ammounts so this was my choice

Bad points.

Hello guys, here again, I have a problem with my citroen c5. It won't raise to the normal drive height. It happen on the way to work, I got the message on board ,,Suspension fault max 90km/h ,, I know what this message means, that the fuse is bad and have no power to the pump.

I check the maxi fuse and everything is ok. I disconect the battery...

Am I correct in believing I should only use Citroen or total LDS fluid or are others available?

I brought some car plan power steering and suspension fluid on the advice of a man in a motor factors. It does say it meets the standard of Citroen LDS, but it's a green colour, and the stuff in my car is orange.

Can anybody tell me what size replacement torx screw I need for the front abs sensor on a C4 Grand Picasso 2007

The XUD crank is used in the 1868cc DW8 normally aspirated diesel. (501H1). The DW8 is really an XUD with a bit of a makeover!
However the 1997cc HDi uses a different crankshafts, 501E2 without rollers, or 501E3 with.
XUD, DW8 and HDI do all use the same crank bearings.
Why change a good thing!!! XUD diesel been going strong for 20 years now, and...

Hi Chaps, I am very slowly working on a V6 brake upgrade on the TaffyTiva 2ltr.............the original brakes were buggered and the flexi's splitting and I had a set of V6 calipers, so why not :)

Has any one got any photos of the fitting where the flexi-hose attach to the hard lines on the inner wing ?

Do they screw into a fitting (on the inner...

Hi.

Not sure if this is the correct sub forum, so please move if not...

Looking to change my 22yo Xsara as the body has reached the end of its line without an unfeasible investment.

No real budget at the minute, but around £16k at minute is my intention.

Disappointed in some cars I've looked at so far. Was in a new 5 Series and thought the...

Morning,

Well I got a call last night from my mate's garage to say that the car is ready for collection.

As you may know, if you have read my other recent post regarding the strut top leak, I was up there at the weekend and have regassed the spheres.

The car has no immobiliser keypad so I've no idea how the stop solenoid is wired or what to, if...

Really need some advice here 🤦‍♂️
My 2010 2.0 hdi dispatch won't start.. I'm not getting any rpm reading on dash or diagnostics either. It now turns over about 5 times then stops cranking, I have to turn the key again for it to then crank another 5 times, I've tried 2 fully charged batteries and also jumped from my 2.0 diesel s max.
Strangely,...

Hi, noticed the wife’s clutch was slipping on her c4 so I guess I’m looking to replace the flywheel too? I have been told I can get away with just the clutch kit but…….. may as well change the flywheel , it’s done just over 100k so think it’s needs doing , no previous service history so what do you think ?
I’ll post the reg and vin number in the...

Hi,
I have a problem. I changed my cabin filter myself and after that, my car starts and shuts down after a few sec. I may have moved some wiring but i dont know where to check first. No errors are comming on the dashboard.

Hi Lads I ran a diagnostic on the car because she smells fuelly, yes it's the C5 that has all the problems but I bought it thinking it had an injector problem. Can anyone tell me what the us stands for. To me none of the injectors look right numbers wise but I am hopeful if being corrected. No fault codes apart from the glow plug fault but we know...

Hello,

I have a C5 Aircross from 2019 with Shine-Pack and Full-LED headlights .

VIN: VR7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

In general ALL lights are working. When driving with High-Beam, visibility is great.
But I am annoyed by the poor visibility when driving with Dipped-Beam . On Dipped-Beam the lights point to low to ground and it is dangerous to drive, because...

Hello everyone!
I’m having problem with my front windows on a Citroen C4. When I press the button to ope the driver front window, both front windows are opening and if I try to open the passenger front window using the driver side button it doesn’t work.

The passenger front window works fine if I open and close the from the passenger side.

Hi all really struggling with this one my car turns over but will not start. If I spray easy start in after a while she will run but you have to hold high revs. I had it on Lexia and only fault code was fuel rail pressure sensor signal fault, I tested the wiring to it and plugged in sensor to see it at 0.5v with key on, changed the sensor itself...

I’m about to bite the bullet and make up copper brake pipes for my 2001 berlingo. But need some info please
Copper or copper n nickel ? And what size nuts ? M10 x 1 ?
Lots for sale on eBay, but I don’t want to crawl under the van and find I’ve bought the wrong stuff.
Cheers for any advice on this

My old EOLYS ECU failed, and I need to fit a replacement. Thanks to help from this forum, I've been able to get at the old ECU, and using a Lexia, I've been able to prove that the old ECU cannot read the fuel cap status, whereas the new ECU reads it fine.
I've used the Lexia to reconfigure the new ECU, which came from a 1.6 engine to be suitable...

Hi, i have a c4 mk2 1.6hdi and have issues with rough idling and struggling to rev over 3k. I have had error codes P1445 and p3007. I have changed the egr valve and have taken off the bottom part of the dpf and gave it a soak with off car dpf cleaner and power washed out, but still these errors persist and is still sluggish, what else could i look...

Hi all, new to the group, just bought an accident damaged c4, it needed a new ABS pump, swapped that over with a 2nd hand one with all the same numbers, bled it all and all is fine. Only problem i have now is error code C139D, longitudinal acceleration sensor, won't go away, anybody had any issues with this? Is it a case of swapping the sensor?...

After wasting a couple of hours trying to repressurise the C5 X7 I have failed to achieve the intended task. So can someone advise the Diagbox menu steps to repressurise the hydraulics. I will be eternally grateful.

Guys,

Can anyone tell me to save me wasting my time stripping out a later S1 window regulator system, whether the part numbers are identical for this window regulator complete between this VIN ending 008E6285 (a late X1 and VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]?

I imagine it's a mare of a job and one I will relish...

I know the Electro valves are important, I'm assuming they interact with the EGR. How can you tell if an Electo valve is faulty?? I'm only asking as one of them wants to suck my finger off but the other is very weak in comparison.

Hello all,

I've recently taken on an '08 X7 Tourer that was going for reasonable money (or perhaps it's just a form of madness :lol:)
Engine and Gearbox are sound, but the hydraulic systems doesn't respond to cabin commands and the car is showing Suspension Faulty .

I'd managed to get it home, gently, and I'm getting stuck into resolving the...

Hi All

I have 2009 Berlingo 1.6 hdi 110 with 66,000 miles, always maintained and never driven hard. The Friday before Christmas I noticed a light hollow tapping noise coming from the engine, I thought it was a noisy tappet but it got worse and louder, like all sixteen tappets are loose, a couple of times I heard a screeching noise, I can smell...

Hi all I am looking at a C2 for a friend, when they leave it overnight the lights can sometimes stay on and flatten the battery.

The fault can be simulated by wiggling the headlamp stalk around, the free play in it then causes the lights to turn on.

I have ordered a new stalk and stripped the Comms unit, however the stalk has a 7-pin ribbon type...

Hi all,
I’ve just bought a 2008 C2 VTS Code, a great little car that’s better than I expected. Accordingly, I’m happy to use it on longer runs rather than just locally & I’m wondering if I can easily retrofit cruise control by installing a column stalk to the left of the steering wheel. I know some earlier cars were fitted with steering wheel...

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...

seem to have had someone try to break into the car - maybe - the door lock cover has been broken on the drivers side

Is this just something that clips on or has the mounting broken

here hopefully are 2 images - 1 of the broken cap drivers door and 1 of the passengers side for comparison

is this something i could just clip on myself - if i got...

Hi!

I have a problem with my Grand C4 picasso 2012 1.6 ehdi.

First I had P1A9C code and I replaced the start stop capacitor. But the problem presists.

I received new error code. P1AA0 and I dont understand what is the problem?

P1A9C is not present, now I have P1AA0 code.

Somebody can what the problem is.

My MK2 auto four speed.

I've owned for nine years now and with previous owners, no record of an auto box fluid change.

The cars still feels okay. It does have a low rev judder, which I've read is normal for my 2.0L petrol.

I drive 6000 per year and very few short town journeys.

Is worth my paying for a fluid change? Or just leave as is.

Looking through some old posts I came across this from Wed May 08, 2019 8:41 pm

A friend which have a C5 III from 2009 has recently charged the spheres with nitrogen. Before charging, the front spheres were measured and the pressure was 30 and 35 bars, the nominal pressure when the spheres are new is 55 bars. The discharging rate of original...

Hi all, this is my first post so please excuse Me if i break any etiquette rules.
I have just acquired a 2011 citroen c3 1.4 hdi vtr. When i start the engine the car pings a warning up, engine temperature fault- stop engine. I then drive for a bit and it goes off. When i come to a junction and have to inch forward or idle, it pings up the same...

Could some please throw some light to what these two mean - Turbo Errors P2032 & P1497?
