Will DIAGBOX V9.1 or 9.3 work with old 1997-2006 Citroen automobile diagnostics?

Hi, I have a 2005 C3 1.2 with semi-automatic gearbox and 110,000km. When I start the engine and pull off, there is a vibration for 2/3 seconds which is stronger with cold engine or when on an incline. otherwise the vibration disappears unless the engine is under strain and in low gear. I have been told that it may be the clutch slipping until it...

Grateful for recommendations on what oil to go for and where to obtain same, along with filters without having to travel too far and/or subject myself to any stress. Planning to do the job next week...

Hi, I wonder if I could seek advice on a de-pollution problem with my 2007 C5 1.6 HDi. It is in limp mode and has the following issues logged when connected to diagnostics.
Short circuit to earth of the additive pump power stage.
PO245 Turbo pressure electrovalve control.

On a separate diagnostic read- Remote Fault
Permanent Fault

Any guidance please,

2008 C5 X7, 2.0 HDI Estate. Wipers have been mis behaving for a while. Firstly stuck on intermediate on whichever setting then they folded over each other and left stopped working with right jerking up about 4 then back down again. I've read that it's probably the ECU in the slave, left side. I have removed the motors and...

Hello all from West Australia.
My car has blown the suspension motor pump fuse. I believe the problem may be a clogged up commutator on the motor as the replacement fuse has also blown. A gentleman named Ellis has submitted a very informative post showing how he resolved the same issue on this forum.My question is, can the motor commutator and...

Hi everyone, I am from South Africa. I drive a Citroën c3 1.6L 16valve petrol, with manual transmission. About 2 days ago the car, has lost power, and started jerking like its miss firing. I had my obd 2 scanner on it and found 2 codes on it, one is a multiple misfire, code : p0300 and second code is p0350, something about the ignition coil. I...

I have a Citroen C4 Picasso 2017 (5 door) with an Ad-Blue tank.

I've owned the car for 12 months and only done about 8000 miles since I've owned (currently 56,000 odometer)

Iv never had a Ad-Blue car before, and I've not yet had to top up this one. I've not yet had any countdown warnings on the dashboard.

I'm preparing myself for doing it...

Hi!

TLDR:
Electrical circuit fault: have your vehicle repaired error message keeps popping up in my Citroen C4 Grand picasso from 2014
Whenever the error message is present when I turn off the ignition, the voltage keeps dropping over time
I bought a new AGM battery but that did not help with anything
I measured the voltage when driving...

have a problem with the dash saying both of the front doors are open which has knocked off a few features I like like parking assistance, auto hand break off , start stop and hill start.

I have error codes -

b175c - suspected failure of the door opening switch on the driver side

B173a- fault in the status of the drivers door for the...

Does anyone know the interval for this car please? And what should I be paying for a time belt and water pump replacement?

Can someone help me? Why do I find two part numbers for the same wiper motor - Citroen C5 2010, 1.6 hdi, 82kw (LHD)?
For exemple:
- left (driver side) wiper: 9682755580 (53569612) and 9683767280 (53571012)?
They look alike.
Are the same parts? Is there something different?
Thank you

I just took my 'new to me' 2009 2.0 HDi FAP AutoTourer for its maiden drive and noticed that at low speed when driving in traffic on very slight throttle that there is a jerkiness/hesitancy. I've had this on petrol cars and cleaned the throttle body to help - but this is my first diesel.
Is this normal for the car or is there something that I can...

On my x7 the window regulator wires have gone.

Is it worth replacing the whole mechanism, or are the wire fixing kits any good?

Hi all

I've recently bought a 2013 2.0hdi Dispatch. The chap I bought it off says he had an egr delete. After a couple of weeks of driving it developed an issue where it would bog down at lower revs especially in higher gears.
A local garage ran some diagnostics and cleaned the egr but with no effect. They got an air flow fault code.
When the...

Yesterday when on the A46 in Lincoln around 60 mph, the C5 started to judder / misfire. It was in all gears but at low speeds and tick over it was ok. It did not break down so I finished the trip (to the dealer to drop off our other car 308 for servicing) and then on the way back it was the same. Whilst there I booked the C5 in for a diagnostic in...

Any idea where the reciever dryer is on the xsara picasso 2.0hdi/2004.

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...

Folks

I am wondering what to do with my 2017 Citroen Spacetourer 1.6 diesel.
For the past 6 months or so it has shown multiple electrical warnings. Initially these warnings were battery charging fault but also other warnings about abs or engine fault repair needed . When the problems first occurred the waiting time for the car to be inspected at...

Hi looking at a C5 2.0 Bluehdi flair plus 2019 25,000 on the clock from Evan's Halshaw
Recent MOT check was a fail for engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction and

with advisories - all brakes worn pitted or scored but not seriously weakened and adblue warning light on
All advisories still present on the...

This is just an open query, and perhaps not enough to justify a thread but there may be opinions ..

Has anyone managed to reduce the noise level of an HDi, either by noise-absorbing material in the engine bay, or some kind of mod? Are some parts of the drivetrain particularly noise generating and amenable to silencing?

If just the idling noise...

Hello,

Yesterday happened strange thing. Air flows to the cabin all the time, even when climate control is turned off.
Tried to disconnect battery, reconnect air blow fuse - nothing helps.
Diagnostics shows no trouble codes.

Hi. I will check back for replies.

Any info on nearside driveshaft removal might be useful to others too: I've searched online and youtube but nothing for nearside shaft.

The Haynes video on youtube shows drivers side, which is different: theres a bearing retaining clamp that Haynes removes for drivers side.

The nearside looks different and I...

Guys, I have a bad missfire that has gotten worse and worse.
Error codes on Lexia are
P1336 permanent
P1337 permanent
P0313 permanent (might be due to using lpg as main fuel)
P1339 permanent

I also did a live measurements, but video is too large to attach it.

My question is, should I just go for the ignition coil change, or there are other...

My XUD engined Xsara has developed a diesel leak on the injection pump. It leaks from the plastic cap on the front on the pump (the one that is used to access the max fuel screw).

Now when the car had some serious injection pump issues I took it to a diesel specialist who took a rather brute force approach towards unscrewing the cap using a...

Hi folks,

I have recently replaced the RD45 radio with one of the Chinese 9 Android head units. It came with Raise canbus decoder and installation went fine.

The only issue is that the speedo keeps switching between kilometers and miles. I have tried selecting 307 from the list which works fine, however only volume button work on steering...

I've noticed since MOT'ing my XM that the front passengers side window doesn't work, nor does the electric wing mirror adjustment.

The central locking on the door does work though.

Does anybody have a wiring diagram that I could use to try and work out what is common between the window and the mirror? The VIN for my car is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]....

Hi all....I'm new here so bear with me. I have just got a c5 tourer and have been trying to update the firmware for the radio/ nav system. The only way I have found to do this so far is thru citroen website but that is for maps and they want to lighten my pocket by 85 quid. Am I looking at the right thing or is there something else I should be...

Setting aside my more serious problems while I look at some little niggles.
If anyone has any info, it will be appreciated.
Aircon hasn't worked since I had it so I've done the following:

Freed the siezed intercooler fan and replaced the 30A Maxi fuse in the engine bay.
Was unable to run the larger fan neither through lexia nor direct off a 12v...

Hello Friends,

I just own Citroen C4 SpaceTourer 1.2 Puretech 2020,
Replaced my good and old C3 Picasso 2011 1.4VTI

I bought the car few days ago, and after 10 mintures drive, the Engine Check light goes on.

In my home, I checked With my PSA Diagbox 9.91 REV3, and i got: P226D 95 - Particle Emission Filter Faulty, Status : Permanent ,...

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 can't get rid of the P3027 Flowmeter signal Air flow too low fault in my Citroen C5 X7 RHR 2.0 HDI Sedan from 2009. The problem is occuring since I bought the car.

I replaced all filters, the air sensor (to NTY ECT-CT-000), I cleaned my air intake.

If I clear the faults, the P3027 fault appears again right after ignition. Always. I...

Hi,
My Citroen Dispatch (Jumpy) 2007 1.6 90HP Diesel has started to make a whisteling sound when the turbo kicks in, in addition there is some black smoke under heavy load.
The car runs fine but there might be a bit less boost than normal.
Any suggestions would be appriciated.

(/Ironic mode on)As i had lots of time available and nothing to worry about (/ironic mode off) , i did it again... Got myself an Activa S2 from 2000 :-D
Pics to come soon , but i can advance it is an 2.0 Hdi and black - No polish & detailling for now , as i have quite a bit to do on suspension department.
Spheres blown , missing some gaiters -...

I have a sphere tester that is currently loaded with LHM

I have some spheres that will be fitted on a C5

Do you think it could be an issue to test the pressure of those spheres with LHM? I don't think the residue that will be on the spheres can pose a problem , but what's your thoughts on that?

The Lucas EPIC Injection Pump as used on the XUD11BTE engine as fitted to 2.1TD Xantias and later 2.1TD XMs is generally reliable but can suffer leaks and problems with the ESOS valves. Both are relatively easy to resolve but need the pump to be fully disassembled. This is a guide on how to do just that and covers the complete disassembly and...

My DS5 had a number of problems I had to get the Clutch/Flywheel changed, the drivers front ABS ring and sensor changed..I used a Lexia with Diagbox to diagnose the faults. I need to program the gearbox now but I have a P171a brake signal fault and although the car drives in manual I can't get auto and the brake lights staying permanently on. I...

So I'm new to these Citroen C5 models and am interested in getting a diagnostic kit up and running but there are so many options it is very confusing and I want to 'buy once' and be cost effective rather than throwing £1000 at it :)

So this is for a 2009 C5 2.0 HDi Auto and so far I have come across Lexia 3, Diagbox (version 7 to 9) and PP2000 -...
