I have a couple of issues with my c4 grand picasso... first of all I got the dpf additive level low message . I refilled the tank but the message remained with the p15b3 fault code. I then took it in to the garage where a guy looked at it with his diagnostic machine but couldn't reset the counter but the tank was showing as 99% full. I then got an...

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a brand new Berlingo M MPV Petrol version.
First of all are there any owners out there with advice or anecdotes good or bad?

Secondly I'm just outside west London but I can't find any dealership that has a petrol version to drive or look at. All the dealerships seem to want to push is electric versions. Does anyone know or...

Hi does anyone have a service schedule for the above van please :-D

hi

Hello everyone,

Since I can't pay for the repair of the AdBlue tank and Nox sensor, I decided to deactivate both. I've had peace for 3 weeks. Does anyone have any experience? Does anyone know the emissions values? How can you keep emissions levels low? Clean DPF more often or use additives?

Hi there,

For the start - I don’t want to make unnecessary mess in parts request area so I will just add a note in this post.

I finally got my clone of obd interface and diagbox. I scanned my C4 and started fixing all things.
So far most of small mechanical issues - fixed.
Still some electrical/module failures I have to fix :/

The VIN number...

Hello, I recently purchased an aftermarket keyless entry module. Can you help me with a BSI diagram? it would be much easier for me to know where to tie the wires than to look for them myself.
Thank you.

My C3 air vents have this strange discoloration about them. The metallic silver paint on them seems washed (blown) away...

Is this from too much AC usage on max or something??

Any way for me to repaint them or replace them, whichever's cheaper??

btw the car was bought used, so this is the previous owner doing....

Hi all

I'm having an issue with my C4 grand picasso. My headlights have both stopped working. Im not 100% sure one may have stopped before the other. Bulbs are fine. I believe the fuses are fine (I checked 4 10amp fuses which are listed as having some headlamp function).

The stalk still operates the full beam and the fog lights correctly.

I...

Hi all I'm new here :roll:

Bought a 2012 C5 Diesel VTR+ NAV 120kW 163hp from an auction in January with 122k miles.

I get the invalid oil level on ignition position every time, car was low on oil when I collected it. Did a full service on it and it took over 6 litres of oil to get it just over the minimum level on the dipstick and I didn't want...

Hi everyone,

I'm seeking advice on a persistent steering issue with my 2016 Citroën C4 Grand Picasso. Here’s a summary of the problem:

I have a knocking sound coming from the steering, particularly noticeable when driving on a flat road with the steering wheel in a fixed position, as well as during acceleration and braking.
Steps Taken:
-...

Following my brief intro, here is my issue! The vehicle has had a very easy 45,000 miles and runs really nicely, idles perfectly and pulls smoothly from 1,000 rpm up to 4,000 +

But! On-Off throttle is really jerky, really really jerky. I have checked all the engine mounts and they are all in good condition, but it feels like a fuelling issue...

Hi, Any ideas how to get into it / fix it ? All other central locking works fine but all of a sudden the one rear passenger door wont open.

Thanks

Hi all,

My c8s alarm keeps going off randomly. It's a 2002. I've tried pulling a fuse that claims to be for the alarm siren but it's still going off and I think my neighbours are getting sick of it. Any ideas as to how to stop it?

If I could find the siren I'd be tempted to just unplug it but I don't know where it is.

Any pointers gratefully...

Driving along, just been round a nasty bend, and the steering gave a hiccup. Like a mixture of hard and soft all at once. Stopped the car and the steering went completely solid, couldn't turn at all. Suspension very, very slow, eventually goes up but still can't steer. Was hoping a bit of citroaerobics would help! Got recovered home. Tried...

Some of you may have seen my posts on here when my 2015 Grand picasso suffered the all too common adblue pump failure with persistently screaming pump and Service light on, engine fault light and urea light on.
Diagbox says leak/ low urea pressure.
It is worth noting that diagbox says pressure is 4 bar even when its actually zero.It does not...

Evening all, wife's car failed mot on a drive shaft boot (or gaiter if you like) which is annoy9ing because it fails every year on the one side or the other! :hb:

Hi, when outside temperature gets below 10°C, my Berlingo 2010 1.6 66kW cabin heating fails and it blows cold air. When outside temperature is 10°C or more, heating works fine.
What could be the cause of malfunction? :shock:
Thank you for any idea. :wink:

Hello everyone,
I'm a new owner of a 2015 Citroen Jumper. The van came with the basic steering wheel with no buttons, with considerable wear to it.
I found online a steering wheel with buttons in a much better condition. My question is: if I switch my wheel to this one, will the controls work with my van? I am only interested in the volume...

Evening, newbie here (please be gentle)
I’ve had a search but struggling to find an appropriate thread, sorry if this has been discussed.

Parners got an e-c4, 71 plate (2021). Alls been going fine up until a few weeks ago.
My key stopped locking/unlocking the car, thought the battery might be the issue as my partners fob worked. Replaced the...

I have been given a near-mint C1 Diesel 1.4 with the usual Siemens injection system to play with.
A local garage sold it to a couple who I know. On their way home, it was clear that something was very wrong. Low power, stalling, check light on etc. Fortunately, I had covid when they bought it, so I couldn't 'recommend' it.

To cut along story......

Afternoon all,

Been promising to do this for some time now.

Here is an oscilloscope trace for both camshaft and crankshaft on my Xantia 2.0HDi.

Technically, I believe this is what you should see with any Hall effect Camshaft Position Sensor and any inductive Crankshaft Position Sensor when a car is idling. The...

Hi All,

Looking for a bit of advice regarding interior lighting.

My vans a 64 plate berlingo.

Whoever had the van before me has ripped out the rear loading light to install racking. I would like to put some led light strips in for my tools but cant seem to find the feed for where the light used to be. I've tried splicing into the front...

Morning all,

Another Xantia Activa emergency flare being fired into the air this morning! :-D

One of the hoses to my rear activa ram has failed (It's been rubbing on a nearby brake pipe, but the failure appears to be facing the other way, and from higher up the hose, where it flexes as the suspension moves so I suspect it's just died of old...

I suppose I have had 12 mostly trouble free years of Activa ownership so I can't really complain... :D

It turned out that having purchased the bits to repair the rear ram, the big leak at the back was actually coming from the disintegrated four-way return connector above the ram, so that was an easy fix and my ram remains stock (and still gently...

I got this message on the dash and have refilled the additive tank. When I took it to the garage to have the system reset the diagnostics machine says there's a fault with the additive pump but im still getting the additive level to low warning on the dash....is the pump easy to replace and if I replace it will that clear the errors or do I still...

I have just changed my 2015 diesel semiauto exclusive plus for a 2020 petrol auto flair plus.
Things I have noticed: petrol engine has to work harder so noisier but not significantly so. Fuel consumption up from 51mpg to 41mpg. Auto box much, much smoother.
For gadgets - good to get carplay but why remove one usb (so cannot...

The horn dose not work when I press the steering wheel for the horn. I've had to take the horn fuse out to stop it. Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks guys

On wheelsize.com, and a few other sites, they list the 2.2hdi version of the C5 mk1 as having 215/65 r16s as an option from the factory. Has anyone ever owned a mk1 c5 with tires that big? Or is the site just wrong? the link is here
