This is a result of using crimp terminals and untinned wire.
DC circuits attract atmospheric ions that provoke corrosion in the positive side of the circuit. This eventually causes the copper in stranded wire to develop surface corrosion, insulating each strand from its neighbours.

Hi!

1 month ago i have regassed 6 spheres on my Citroen C5 X7 Tourer, 2.0 HDI 2012.

The suspension level is correct, made...

The only problem i had with the suspension was the rear height sensor rod that was rusted, the hydraulic pump was working permanently on the last height position without finalising it.

The mechanic cleaned the rod, installed it back, did the level and now it goes up fine.

@Maciejz:.
For the center sphere on the left side, you have to remove the left drive shaft and the 6mm bolt beneath the subframe with hold the airco tube.
Then with a long chisel you can hammer it loose.

There seem to be lots of aftermarket ones available - the alternative part number may be a bit cheaper, and slightly easier to fit. As I said in that other thread, I am not at all sure how you would change this - got to be driveshaft out at least. I do wonder if you need to remove the water pump to free the bottom end.

Hello,

I try to turn to this forum, because my C5 III X7 (2014 HDI Excl.) has a very special problem, maybe someone can help;
in the German forum there’s nearly nobody, who has similar trouble.
Code ‘C1555’ (only), manual brake-switching doesn’t work, automatic on/off is working as it should, P-Symbol displayed permanently, nothing else....

Last post

It was a C5 (2015) fault with manual braking 7092: electric handbrake / steering / 7095: electric handbrake assembly / wire 10 across the protective tube. About 10 cm from the connector to the electrical assembly. Wire 4430.

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 would start with the engine mounts. These can make a big difference in the noise department. I recently changed mine after two years of service and a lot of noise disappeared. I thought there was something wrong with the engine type of noise.

Just fitted a towbar to the car to tow a small trailer.

The towbar came with a wiring kit which included relay for use when certain circuitry was installed on the car .

The relay supplied is a TEB7AS 7 Way Universal Relay including buzzer.
Is this a necessity on this vehicle or can I just install a buzzer for the indicators?

Last post

It is necessary because they specify that they take the lighting signals and covert this into a 12V feed for the trailer lighting so it doesn’t take power from the lighting circuit on the car. That is why it is there and requires a 15a fused supply.

Of course it does not support vehicle ESP systems with a special towing programme which your...

What is more important is to know whether your VCI (the hardware that plugs into the OBD socket) is full chip and has Rev C chip firmware. Also, what software are you using? Lexia is probably too old even for a 2009 X7 and you need Diagbox. What version of Diagbox are you running?
