Hopefully a simple question, are all the 8 valve blocks basically the same, my mate has managed to knacker one of our vans somehow and the bottom end is knocking, I've had it to bits and the shells are in the bottom of the sump now so its finished. I think its possibly the DV6FD engine that we have - the bluehdi 95 1560cc (2017 Dispatch) but will...

Evening all,

My passenger side indicator light stopped working some time ago.
So... knowing it was a sealed light I purchased a new one and went about replacing it.
So I took the wing mirror apart in the normal way that is to replace the unit.
Put it back together & went to test it.... bosh.... still not...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 1-year Connected Navigation Pack subscription for my Citroën C5 Aircross for TomTom traffic and services. The problem is that the 'status of connected services' remains unavailable and doesn't switch to 'activated'. The NAC unit seems unable to access the internet via my phone's hotspot/tethering. I have checked...

I have a Citroen C5 X shine plus hybrid automatic.
Because of an operation I had I am unable to drive with just one foot moving from the accelerated to the break. So I am a 2 foot driver (that’s feet not height)
The problem I have is if I touch the break at all when driving (put on the accelerator that is of course as well) the automatic control...

Hello everyone,

I have a 2012 Citroën DS5 (1.6 thp) and my air conditioning still doesn’t work after replacing the pressure sensor.
• System has been leak-tested and re-gassed – pressure is fine.
• Compressor itself works: when I feed it direct 12V, it engages and blows cold air.
• At the compressor plug I only measure ~1.3V when A/C is...

Morning,

A few weekends ago I was happily driving along the motorway in my 2012 Berlingo 1.6 HDi when the engine cut out, all the dashboard lit up and I was forced to pull over. The car would not restart and I was forced to await rescue.

Recovery mechanic came and moved me to nearby services for a good look at whats was what. The car would turn...

Hi all,

I am having few issues with our van and investigation is getting difficult..

1. There was battery sign on the dash indicating no charge. This was confirmed by low system voltage when engine running. The alternator was in bad shape regardless so I replaced with new NK unit. However, the light is still on and diagnostics reporting LIN...

Hi
Have a 2013 2.2 hdi c5 tourer automatic 150kw on about 210 k miles .
I am thinking of cleaning dpf and wondering on its location
Not sure if it’s the expanded piece of exhaust attached to turbo at back of engine or the torpedo shaped piece underneath the car which is a lot easier to remove .
Like this car and would like to go to high miles...

Hi, I’ve got a 2018 Citroen C1 and a few weeks ago the rear wiper stopped mid-swipe.

It’s currently at a 40 degree angle, so doesn’t block the view. This seemed okay in the interim while I wait for a garage appointment. However, last night I noticed an intermittent click from the back of the car, maybe every 5-10 seconds, and it continued when...

Hi!

I have a 2014 C5X7 where I suspect that the torque converter has gone bad as I have power loss on acceleration from stand-still or low speeds, with a mechanical rumble every time it changes gear 1 through 3. No codes to be read. I did look at replacing just the torque converter, but there are none used available at reasonable prices and a new...

Good evening all
This is my first post on here so if I've done anything wrong please do tell me.
I've inherited my grandfathers 2000 Citroen Saxo 1.5d which he bought new. I've got it up and running again having been sat in a field for 5 years, given it a service and sorted a few things out. At some point in the past the supply to the glow plug...

I try to find C5 2.0 HDI 2010 wiring diagram.

My exclusive failed the MOT yesterday, handbrake and brake hose, no problem I foolishly thought, until I looked at the video on YouTube. I can hear you laughing from here! Diabox required to reset mechanism. I don't even have a Lexia, lost it in the house fire last year.

The part no is 96 130 325 and is still availible in some places. But i've had bad experience...

I've been eyeing C8 and 807, was wondering what the users think about those cars after extended use. So please share your insights on what to avoid, look for etc.

Hello.

I am confused about my citroen engine cycle?

In the picture you can see the nearest piston (cylinder three) is up when the crankshaft lock pin is in place. In the picture it looks like cylinder 1 & 2 move same direction and same time, is this possible?

What I have heard, usual the 1 & 3 are in same cycle (nearest cylinder in the timing...

I've got a hesitation on light acceleration on my 2015 Berlingo HDi 120 (non AdBlue Version). No Check engine light, no stored faults. I've striped everything off the top of the engine and there is no evidence of leaking around the injectors. Any ideas?

Hello,

My car is a Citroën C3 1.4 Petrol, model year 2002/2003.

I’ve been experiencing a false overheating issue. The temperature gauge normally stays at the 3rd bar, but sometimes (especially in hot weather) it suddenly jumps to the 6th bar, triggers the warning, and then drops back to the 3rd bar within 3–5 seconds.

The jump is instant — it...

hello everyone, I have a problem with the roof and rear doors on my Citroen C3 Pluriel 2008. It was bought with a roof that didn't work, the brackets were a problem. In order to somehow solve it, I bought a complete roof with windows, rear window and brackets from a car that was for parts, but the roof worked for it, as I tested. The installation...

I have a problem that has been going on for 3 years. My Citroen C3 1.2 2017 SX has a sound like a broken bearing that can be heard in the front. I have changed both bearings, completely shock absorbers, front fork bushings, shock absorber buffers, discs and pads, but the sound is still there. It is not that loud, but after 450-500 km without a...

Recently bought a Citroen c5 c7 2.2 that won’t raise the front suspension. The rear works fine in all height settings. I’ve changed the height sensor but it didn’t change anything. I’ve also charged the battery since it was in economy mode. Anyone has an idea ?

The codes I get is:

Can any of the collective point me at a download link for Diagbox, the ones i found through google seem to be infested with browser hijackers.

Hopefully someone can help with the wiring on my
son’s Citroen C4.1.6Hdi 2007. I couldn’t get the wiring info for this specific model around the internet!
Lost the power Diagbox fault code P0243.

I believe it is a wiring issue.

I have pulled the cover from under my steering wheel and have noticed this connector isn't plugged into anything? Is it the speaker connection?

I have a 2016 Citroen Berlingo, 1600 Blue HDI, VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]. Mileage is approximately 235,000 km. I have traveled around 6,000 km since the oil was last changed. Oil is typically changed every 10,000-15,000. For the last 3,000-4,000 km, once oil is at operating temperature, oil pressure LED and STOP signal will illuminate intermittently...

TL; DR: A 2004 C2, a Siemens VDO RD4 unit, short connector harness that fits, but the car doesn't have the connectors that we would connect the short harness to. Looking for wiring information, and if possible, something with wire colors to crimp to the short harness we have, and from there, to the RD4 head unit.

Hi all,

I've got a horrible pulsing noise coming from the front offside under load. Seems linked to road speed rather than engine speed. It's had a new driveshaft on that side but I'm pretty sure there was a similar noise before it was replaced (but not so loud).

Recording below. Accelerating from standstill in first, then a change up to...

Hi everyone! For some times I noticed that I got some oil covering the front and lower end of the engine and I got information that it might be due to PCV membrane being perforated ( I took the test to check if that the case , with engine turn on , leave the oil cap loose and it seems that was jumping quite high) and my question is does this...

Hello everyone,

I have an e crofting diode box fitted to my S2 Xantia exclusive which I am not convinced is working. It came with the car so I have no install instructions. Can someone confirm (or otherwise) that the box is connected correctly - please see attached photos for reference.

Many thanks in advance,

Paul

Hi!

I have bought a faulty c2 to be repaired. Problem is that car is cranking but not starting.
I have so far checked that there is no spark, but smells gasoline so i think the gas pump works, no blown fuses (in my opinion). I replaced the coil pack and spark plugs and crank sensor, but still no start. I have measured that there is signals coming...

Citroen C3 Picasso with 1.6 HDI engine. No DPF from factory on this model.
Measured air at idle is about 400mg, reference air is about 260mg.
I have seen suggestions that the reference air should be about 380/390 or so. Is that correct which would mean something is messing up the reference calculation?
New EGR fitted and passes actuation test. New...

Been trying to get an electric mirror switch for my Xsara Picasso. It has a blue connector but also has retractable mirrors.

Anywhere that sells the switch with the blue connector doesn't seem to have the retractable function.

Any ideas where I can purchase one? Parking is a bit tight round here and if they're not retracted, they're likely to...

Hi
I am having trouble finding the correct turbocharger for my Citroen Relay.
I am pretty sure my engine code is DW10FUD but the turbochargers for this engine does not seem to match mine.
The Vin number is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
Can anyone tell me what engine code I have please.

I have a 1985, Series one CX Prestige with injected 2.5 liter engine. It had been sitting for about 5 months and now starts up only if I tap the gas but runs rough, and will not idle even when run to temp. Most recently It backfired once. I have checked the intake path and all seems tight. Plugs all look ok and seem to be getting spark....

So the plastic retaining clip in the clutch pedal that grabs the ball end of the master cylinder piston has broken (again). Unfortunately the piston gave up the ghost this time and I find myself having to replace the master cylinder as well.
