Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to buy a small van and just went to see a 2011 Citroen Berlingo today. It mostly seemed good (my budget's not big (£3k) so it's got a fair few miles on the clock and I know I'll be taking a risk with whatever I buy due to age and mileage). The dealer seemed honourable and like he knew what he was talking about. It drives...

I get a nottification that my right front tyre isn't inflated enough and I don't even have the transmitter module on any tyre. I know whitch fuse it is , should I just take the fuse out?

Sigh. 1.1 petrol, 1994. Red warning light came on. Got recovered home. Took thermostat out (it’s a bit slow but does open) and ran engine without it, got up to temperature but radiator fan didn’t cut in. Bypassed fan switch, fan works. Not sure if engine was hot enough for fan?

Leaks from the thermostat housing, suppose the thermostat forms part...

Went on holiday for 3 weeks. Came back and heater is not blowing anything. It was fine when i went away. The dials all show ok and i have checked all the fuses and they are ok.
It is a right hand drive.
I have tried looking on the forum for information as to where the blower unit and resistor are located but it all seems to be for older c5.
I have...

Evening Citroen Chums,

Hope you are all keeping well.

Tracked an intermittent fault with the cigar lighter to the internal fuse box circuit board. Not too dissimilar to the S2 fuse box issue someone kindly advised on last year.

Well what a nightmare.

I suspect that when I refitted the dash after doing the heater matrix I may have trapped...

Argh...

It had to happen... finally the interior blower fans on my Xantia have stopped working. :evil: :evil: (Right in the middle of summer too)

A few months back the first symptom I noticed was occasionally the fan speed control would stop working - whatever speed it was set to it would continue to run at regardless of the speed slider, until...

has anyone upgraded the interior bulbs to led and if so, what are the bulb types?

TIA..

Al.

Hi All
Would anyone have a diagram showing the parts which make up the oil filler neck for a 1997 Citroen XM 2.1 XUD11BTE ?
Seem to have a lot of oil running down the front of the engine but not sure where all the seals/gaskets etc are
thanks

Hi All,

Out of the blue the above happened.

Driven around locally all fine, stopped in local carpark, returned to car tired to start but nothing.

No fault code appeared when the ignition is turned on.

Where are the fuse/s relating to the injection system and appropriate relays ?

User manual no use.

Hi!

This is my first post on the forums and I have very little knowledge in these French cars, had a Peugeot back in the days tho.

Well to the issue with our Citroen C5 from 2009, the hydraulic suspension system only works occasionally like 1 time out of 20 all the other times it doesn't lift, flat like a toad. I have oil, all the fuses are OK...

Can someone in the know give me a list of the most likely problem.....passenger side heater blows hot and cold as required.....drivers side is permanently stuck on just above cold. From my research so far I can see that it could be the spindle of the flaps in the heater box having collapsed....or the motor in the drive'rs foot well having a...

Hi Everyone, My Green Xantia Estate 1.9TD, N Reg, has just sprung a leak from the pipe that exits the rear height corrector, crosses over the rear accumulator and goes into a K junction on the side of the accumulator mounting. Not a big run and the junctions look easy to get to although they are very rusty and will probably resist being undone....

I have just got hold of a 2017 C3. In the car the screen controls basically everything, which makes the dash nice and clear IMO. However, I have run into a problem, hopefully someone will know about...

It seems that the radio and the screen will sometimes go off while driving, but only on the start of a journey. It does all come back on again...

My Speedo will sit at 0 for a while, then come up with a - - sign. I have a 2003 Xsara Picasso. Can someone please tell me what she is doing this time?

Hello and Happy New Year!

Two monts ago I bought a 2010 CITROEN C5 EXCLUSIVE, 2.0 HDI,138 BHP, AUTOMATIC. A few days later I noticed that after lifting and lowering the car in front of the front right tire there is a puddle.
I drove to Robins & Day Chingford and here is the result:
1. Hydraulic Suspension Pump to be replaced;
2. Power Steering...

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the rear N/S indidicator.

Citroen Berlingo Multispace XTR 2008

It started with an intermittent problem when I indicated left, it would work, but then sometimes flash quickly (like when a bulb is blown). This went on for a while with it sometimes working and sometimes not. Until eventually it just remained flashing...

About an hour into a drive with the aux mode on the satnav display went dark, everything silent and the red light above the SOS button was flashing

20220122_140107.jpg

After about 5 seconds it seemed to restart and was apparently OK. But is this a sign of imminent failure? Any idea what I'm looking at, overheating or something?

I realise this...

Hi,

New to this forum so I hope this is the wright place for my Q.
I helped my sister replace a bad ball joint and unfortunately pulled out the drivshaft to far resulting in too much gearoil on the floor :(
The car is a Citroen C3 year 2014 (CITROЁN C3 II (SC) 1.2 VTi 82 Petrol 82 hk )

If I understand it wright it is importent to use the...

Marc, just to confirm that the full wiring to the seats will be in place regardless of what type of seats are fitted? I know that, when my C5 rolled off the production line, she had manually adjusted seating, but Paul fitted leather electric seats before I got her. The motors are working (as, I assume, are the airbags, as there are no related...

HI guys,

I have a 1.6 HDI C5 Citroen from 2011. My problem is that I saw on my Lexia that everytime I start my engine this error shows:
U1218 - Intersystem CAN.

I can erase it, but it shows up again when I start my engine. What do you think it is?

Best regards,
Ioan.

I posted this problem on the Peugeot site and thought it also applied to any Citroen Relay owners.
I have seen a similar problem but unfortunately no solution had been found. Anyway here is the problem
I have a problem with a Boxer which has a parasitic drain that is sufficient to put my multimeter off the 10A setting. It can light a small bulb...

Hi, I have had Citroens for many years, and still have my favourite Xantia. However, my question today concerns my C5 Tourer.
I bought this low mileage car recently, and have since changed the front struts, partly due to oil leakage, but also believing that this would stop the front of the car sinking to the ground overnight. I have had series 1...

My previously reliable Xantia 2.0 hdi is running, but it is good job it's not hilly where I live. The car has never been particularly quick and in the autumn I decided it was time to address the EGR problem. I intended to remove and replace the EGR but with rusty and rounded retaining nuts I thought two tins of EGR cleaner would be worth a try....

Hi to all hope someone can help trying to get build sheet for my car as I have spar cable in boot behind passerger compartment and don't no what for thanks

Just looking for some tips or advice on the replacement of a cv boot on my c5 auto with hydropneumatic suspension. My grandfather is helping me and we have done the job on many cars just being cautious in advance on this one. My grandfather said he hasn't seen anything like this one before what with the hydropneumatic suspension thrown in the mix....

I picled my van up last weekend generally quite happy with it.

So started with high level brake light flickering whilst engine is running.

Then that stopped flickering then the left side light flickers, but stops flickering when a door is open? All other lights work as expected.

I removed the cluster cleaned contacts, plugs are not over...

Hello forum
I have a Citroën BLUEHDI 100 from 2016 with a DV6FD engine. The car has done about 135k km and 21k from last oil change. The last oil change I did I filled oil to the upper mark (max) on the dip stick. Now it has fallen down by about 5-6 lines on the dipstick and is only 3 lines from min. What can cause this?
I have checked the cam-...

Hi all, belated Happy New Year :)

Wife told me yesterday her car kept stallinng when she stopped at lights, etc. So I lifted the bonnet and was surprised to find a mess of oil all over the throttle body assembly! :?

I lifted the engine cover and saw the breather section of the rocker cover also oily. I must assue that there is a blockage so...

Mate owns a new Lingo van and it was making a noise. He came to me after going to a local fast fit for tyres & asking them to check the brakes.

Nah mate, brakes are mint! :shock:

When I stripped it, the disc was very obviously scored to death and the pad was so bad, the metal was 2mm less than the equivalent other :!: :?:

My next problem is that the Code P0693 and P0493 show up on a diagnostic instrument ( Not Diagbox)
I have changed the unit that is connected to the fan motor ( I see it as 1529 on a print I have of the cooling circuit diagram) Called perhaps fan motor control or relay unit.
Despite the change I still see these fault codes...

There is an ecu message that the additive pump is not working.
I removed the pump with it's associated circuit board.
Applying 9 Volts directly to the pump motor results in the motor rotating.
So the fault must be either the circuit board, the wiring to the unit or possibly some other fault.
There are 3 pins on the plug/socket.
What should I be...

Hi, My wife got the adblue low warning on Friday evening , its the first time this has happened since we bought the car back in June. We took it to local Esso garage as i knew they had an adblue pump. Filled up the tank with 14.81L but now the adblue warning light will not go off. Is it a simple case of maybe us overfilling it and the light will...

Can you please send me the electrical circuit diagram between the BSI and the instrument panel?

Thanks!

Dear friends,

I am in the process of buying Citroën Jumper van and I can't find any VIN decoder to get Build Sheet for the vehicle.
Is there any site where I can get those information?
If not, can someone post here Build sheet for VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Many thanks!

Could someone tell me what I need to do to disconnect my battery so I can change it? The only posts I found said that you need to follow some procedure, but no one describes it. It's a Citroen C5 X7 2008 2.0 Hdi Exclusive.

Hello all, and a happy New year.!
Over the past couple of weeks, my gearbox has started to crunch when changing into/from 3rd gear.
My trusty mechanic reckons its easier just to install a 2nd hand box and reckons about 10hrs labour charge.
I have seen some gearboxes for sale around the £100 Mark.
Has anybody else changed theirs 'on the drive', is...

I jacked the car up and front passenger side wheel has a very slight play at 6 and 12 oclock position. I replaced the bearing on this side 3 months ago aswell, and it was SKF brand.

Hi

Hi. Im really hoping someone can help me out. I have a 66 plate Relay Van 2.2 diesel. The engine warning light came on January last year. The van would not go above 3k revs. I unhooked the MAF sensor and it got me home. The fault code said it was the MAF sensor. I bought one and fitted it but it still continued then the air temperature sensor...
