Seanrx, Just go ahead and change the oil , open the front gearbox cover holding two magnets inside and clean it. See if there is huge amount of iron dust accumulated or not. The low speed juddering is a sign your torque converter will likely need replacing but dont take my word for it . Get an expert opinion

Hi STU, sorry i didin,t reply earlier as I hardly surf here. I am using only the multi membrane sphere to refill as the single membrane version cannot hold pressure for long. Last time when I refill them it will lose 10 % or more per year. The 3 dimple old sphere and the C5 spheres are all long life multi membrane sphere. Recharge to about 10 to...

There's no magic combo I'm aware of - it needs the BSI re-configuring, if there is the appropriate option that is.

Was there a final solution for this issue ?
My C3 has now thrown the same fault any help would be very mu h appreciated.

Thanks Richard yes I understand intermittent faults are the worse, but I like to see if I can prevent a failure.

Anyway, I cleared all the faults, replaced the foam filter for the Boost valve, original was crumbling, Cleaned the Air Map Sensor, checked all the vacuum plumbing I could see, after a 40 mile trip, these faults have not reappeared -...

Update,
Thank you so much all for the replies managed to get them working, had to go through every single fuse to see which one was blown but found it, there was rust on the connectors too that needed a clean with a wire brush... the joys lol

Now to figure out what's going on with the back wiper motor it stays on while the lights are on, it's a...

It's pin no 3 on mine

Cutting it turns off the door open warning. I did have to reset the auto locking in diag afterwards. It wanted to lock itself, probably due to me playing around with connections

No worries at all on the back.

Ideally it needs a diagnostic session with a Diagbox/Lexi or similar and there are members on the forum who offer to run diagnostics, usually for a minor consideration compared to the dealer.

A list and a link to a map of their locations here

But with these types of fault, the first recommendation is to do a BSI reset procedure.
Be sure that...

Good afternoon all
Trying to source a suspension pump and bhi unit. I've been told the 2.7 engine has a different pump to the smaller engines. Could anybody confirm that for me, and ideally confirm the part number I need as the label has gone off the original. Vin VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
I'd be most grateful for any help
Chris

Chris, details below:...

Welcome along

Presumably this is a semi auto? What's up with it and which bit are you looking for?

Thank you 🙏

Thats the original topic but it doesn't say what the model number was or where it was from...

I'm not sure who makes the pump, it says Lucas on the sensor

Here it is:

Dean.

It's a delphi pump, I replaced my pump on dw8 model Citroën berlingo 1.9 diesel multi space 2005.which was exactly the same as your photo
.Rob.

Citroën offer you a choice of the following parts ranges. Depending on your needs and budgets:

Citroën Genuine Parts, called Mopar
Citroën Approved Parts for Citroën’s over 30 months old

Should be just as good but cheaper.

That is how the Activa chaps do it.....OR....alter Estate bump stops which is what I did.

Try a proper reset - unlpugging the battery is not a good idea without following the procedure and can lead to electrical issues: BSI Reset / Battery Disconnect / Reconnect Procedure

On the speedo you might be able to remove it and adjust the needle position. I did this on our C5 when the needle became loose due to a crack and put it back on with a dab of glue. On later Citroens the car mileage is recorded on both the speedo and bsi and if one is replaced the car will adopt the mileage whichever is highest. This might not...

Had crossed my mind Gibbo but the holder seems to be falling apart, just plastic disintegration. Cant understand what has caused the problem its as dry as a bone under there. I suspect I will break the bulb trying to get it out. I cant seem to be able to disconnect either of the cables both stuck tight, otherwise I could get the whole assembly out...

Thank you for checking. I'll run a diagnostics on it again in a week or so and see if any faults have reappeared or if any new. It was used for another 6 journey's today with no issue so hopefully a one off.

Hi Roger, maybe try and get the same info for a mark1 C5 they have the 90 and 110 rhz engine.the only difference I think was the size of the turbo. This might give some better direction for you.

Information was supplied by the dealer
Funnily enough they were WRONG . car is fitted with the older unit
P/N 2182 74
This is not available through the dealers or as an aftermarket part ( that I can find )
Got a part from a scrapyard

Of course your car has a power steering unit - not sure why you were told that... it's just that yours has an electric power steering system, that is mounted on the steering rack itself.

It's a complete sealed unit and wouldn't have anything to do with creaking in reverse as all it is doing is turning the wheels, whether you are going forward or...

Ok, I’ll report back once I’ve done the reset
Thanks everyone

French registrations bear no connection with manufacture date, simply when it changed owners or moved departments. This is especially the case with the old style registrations like yours. The 36 on yours means that if was last registered in Dept. 36. The Indre, strangely enough it is where I live. If you have the Carte Grise (logbook) it will tell...

Ahh, no wonder I have only noticed the stop/start feature actually operate maybe twice in the 3 months I have owned the car.

Okk so a little update, I found two corroded wires on the drivers side rear. I have soldered and heat shrieked the wires. Reset the fault codes using the code reader and re assembled.
Marc your an absolute hero for sending me in that direction! Thank you thank you thank you!

Where is that picture from exactly? I...

Hi daisydog, do you know which fuse was replaced?

Thanks in advance, Olly

Hi,

Did you find which fuse was?

Im having same issue, Peugeot dealer don't want to tell me.

Thanks.

Could someone help me to know for this VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] which remote key, FSK or ASK?

Thank you for your reply.
I will have a look at the earth points. I'm not sure where these are situated.

But I can start with the battery and the alternator. If I can not measure any loss between those two, then I assume that the earth points are fine.
I can not imagine that 14.4 V leaving the alternator and ending up well in the battery can...

I wanted to replace the rear wiper arm of my Citroen C1 Mk2.

It is very rusty. I managed to remove the nut after using WD-40, but now I can't pull the arm at all. It's not budging.
The bolt is also rusty and stuck in place.

I don't want to apply too much force to not break anything.
What can I do?

I would concur with what has already been...

Hi all replaced the fuse box with a second hand one (new Citroen part is on back order) and the car is now running. Unfortunately the EM light has came on showing a turbo actuator fault.
When I look at the actuator rod on start up, it does move after a second or two and jumps. I’m assuming that the sensor may be looking for a particular position...

Hi Marc
Yes Apologies you are correct I will amend the post :-)

How many 2.0 t activa were made each year anyone knows ?

I did say 'maybe'. For me it's a matter of two screws and disconnecting the wiring plug. Then easing the headlamp unit out. Thirty seconds at most.

Has anyone swapped the electric e-brake for a manual one? I opened the box about two years ago and changed the cables for news ones from Poland. In the last winter something froze and the system is disabled again. Since it's an automatic I only really need the e-brake for MOT and maybe some more rare occasions. Thought about swapping it for a...

Will this fix the issue for good or am I likely to have adblue problems on the future? Have the new parts been improved at all?

Allegedly the parts are ‘improved’ but they are still having issues to this day with the tanks on new models. The system is still just not fit for purpose.

Hi admin.
Thank you for reply. Yes, that new unit have same number as old one. What i mean them big bold numbers are match. But as it looks, only you replied to my message (the other guy maybe left this forum) do you know anything about that procedure i was asking for? If yes, can you please enlight me? I can swap/change stuff easy, but if that...

I would expect that live data in the gearbox ECU will give the cause for it not authorising the engine start.

I agree, it's more so I can check the route to the BSI.
It could well be the Airbag ecu itself but that shows no signs of corrosion or anything untoward so just want to make sure I'm seeing all of the splices and potential pinch points before I spend out on an ecu. It's probably far more likely a wire than the module, I just can't find anything...

No, only if you are changing the capacity / type. If replacing with an original like for like battery (as in the same specifications), then you just need to follow the BSI Reset / Battery Disconnect / Reconnect Procedure before disconnecting the old and replacing the new battery. Then ideally leave the vehicle overnight without using it so that...

As odd as it might sound, and although there seems to be no connection, after changing the car's oil, the noise in the pedal stopped and the sensation I described at the pedal's end of travel disappeared. However, after changing the oil, the timing belt stretched, and was replaced by the dealership at no cost to me. What do you all think about...

It appears to be on the same side of the heater box under the fan, so either glove box or may be accessible if you remove the trim piece underneath.

I believe there's no oil leaks in my case, perhaps therefore I can go without

Resolved.

The boot handle, I sprayed contact cleaner into it and removed the micro switch wires to try to remove it.

Either or both of these has fixed the switch. Perhaps the switch contacts, I've scraped of surface corrosion.

But now I just have to tap the outer handle or pull it's edge for the boot to open, I can hear the beep of the switch...

No bother hopefully it will help.

That is presumably the Prince Engine...frying pan and fire spring to mind!

My GT85 turned up this morning after I went to Halfords to get some and they didn’t have any. Bought a 3 pack off Amazon, quick squirt and it’s sliding like a dream. Thank you so much!
=D>

Dear Admin,

Thank you vey much indeed!
I will follow-up with them.
