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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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 ,...

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...

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 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...

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...

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 -...

The foam in my passenger front seat has collapsed. Management is complaining of the frame tube pressing into her leg, fair!
So, I have another front seat to replace it, same fabic, everything good. BUT, it does not have the side airbag.

Is it poss to swap the seat backs? Can the upper and lower halves be split? I have 3 weeks untill we are going...

Hi,
Bought my c5 exclusive 2lt hdi manual from a garage in Edinburgh, it was a trade in, good condition throughout low miles of 76,000 no warranty as mileage could not be verified, salesman said it had intermittent power steering fault, loss of power, bought the car anyway cause I liked it drove about 4 miles and steering went stiff, straight road...

Does anyone have a list of what sizes were specced on the various C5 models?

I want to know what I can fit..

Do they play any important role in the HDi design beyond essential for (icy weather) cold starts?

Mine has it's glow plug relays out, possibly just one, garage man said not to worry, however I've noted for a while that my engine sounds unhappy on cold starts..

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...

I literally just got home with my 'new' second hand van, a Citroen Jumper from 2013 (called Relay in the UK it seems).
Only now at home I'm discovering the lock doesn't work! I can only lock the drivers door, which alone doesn't do much of course. I tied the passenger seat-belt around the passenger door in desperation for now 8-[

What's...

Hi,
The same issue came back..... Is it possible that economy mode is causing it all (it shows up second i turn the ignition on, the voltage of the battery is 12.4 something like that)? Like the last time, the car starts for 1s. And then shuts-off. If i keep it on the starter and press gas it starts up until i release the pedal... Please help. Or...

I'm in the middle of a xantia thrust bearing /clutch change. It's a 2.0 hdi 110 so it's got the ml5 box. I have a terrible feeling that I've put the offside seal in back to front. It's a dealer supplied seal but it differed from the original in that it didn't have a flange. Am I right wrong and most importantly does it matter?

Recently change from a C3 Aircross to a C4 C-Series.
With auto lock/unlock activated, does the vehicle “deadlock”?

Hello is anyone having any trouble with an automatic citroen c3 in the hot weather. The car drives faultless in the winter but hot weather i cant drive for long in it and it starts clunking saying gearbox failure. Park it up let it cool down for half hour just to get me back home. Then next days its okay until it gets hot.

Hey!
Can anyone tell me exactly what rim is in the picture?

I can't find it anywhere and I don't know what it is exactly.
I hope someone can help.

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,
I'm wanting to set the timing on my DW12TED4 engine and I'm having trouble finding the hole to pin the flywheel. This engine doesn't have it near the starter. I've seen pix of where it is near the drive shaft but I still can't see it!
This is the image from Citroen docs, but I can't work it out.

Any tips from those that have...

It's already the second time that after opening a door (In the evening , with humidity) that interior lights look to be in disco mode , as they turn on and off. (Completely and not just dimming.)

It happens with any of the 4 doors opening
Has anyone here had the same weird experience? What the heck can that be? Where do i start looking?...

Hi all,
This is my first post & relates to my 2017 Citroen Relay (2L Enterprise Blue) which I'm spending all my spare time converting into a campervan. I have 2 queries:
1. As the van has 160k miles on the clock I want to change the gearbox oil. Does anyone have a picture /diagram were I can find the drain plug and filler points. Also any tips...

2013 C5 X7 Intermittent ESP/ABS warnings (as per earlier post on that topic).
Brake light switch replaced (no change) but apparently the switch harness can be troublesome and could be the issue. Is it necessary to change that part of harness complete (and where does it run to from switch) or is it likely to solve the issue using the kit which...

Ok, not new but regassed. I sent my front corner spheres to Pleiades for recharge and they did a champion job and returned very quickly. Repainted too.

I am delighted with the ride quality now - a new front center sphere and now regassed corner spheres, new rear center pair. If only I could actually remove the rear corner spheres I'd have sent...

Hello,

I bought a 2016 Citroen C3 Picasso 1.2 Puretech 3 weeks ago and have recently had a 'top up engine oil' warning come up on the multifunction display. I checked it the day after I bought it and the oil level was about 1/4 of the way below the max mark then. It was near minimum when I checked it on Thursday night (after only driving about...

Hi Everyone,

My first post, so please forgive any protocol errors.

I own and drive a Citroen EC4 2021 RHD.

While trying to hard wire a dashcam I (stupidly) shorted a wire and blew the reading light fuse. I realised that I was in trouble when I looked at the fuse box and had no fuse diagram or labelling. The manual gives the fuse number and...
