I'm trying to remove the Heater Blower Resistor in my wife's 2023 C3 (1.2 PureTech 110 Plus 5dr EAT6) Automatic. I believe this C3 version was introduced in 2017 so hoping someone has experienced this issue with an older car than mine.

The blower has stopped working. I have checked the 40A fuse, which seems fine, and I can't see any issues with...

Wrongly, I suppose, the application notified me that there was a new version of the navigation map.
I did the process of preparing the usb despite that the new version was 26.0.0.r0!!! while the car map apeared to be the 28.0.0.r0 and of course the update was not started at all!!!!
Since then, whenever I connect the car, the application does not...

Hey :)

Hoping someone can offer some next step pointers, so, I have a 2010 C4 Picasso, out of the blue the boot refused to open, did some research saw the usual suspect is the handle switch so I took it out of the car, dismantled it all very simple it really is just a switch, it was clicking fine and appeared to be ok so decided to jumper the...

It looks like I need to replace at least one injector on my 2007 2.2 relay, engine code BMF.

I understand these are notorious for being seized and breaking. So I do not anticipate DIYing this job. The Glow Plugs were bad enough!

Does anyone know of a good mechanic, in the Ipswich/Felixstowe/Suffolk or North Essex area who you would recommend?

I...

I'm posting this for anyone else with a recent C4 or car with similar software who might see the same thing.

(Mods, put this in audio and telematics if you wish, but it strikes me it doesn't fit easily there becsue its the main speedometer display not the sat nav stuff)

I have had issues in the past with the speedometer display just 'going...

How important are they?
I just had a cambelt change on a 2005 1.6HDi 110bhp engine. The engineer must have removed it and either forgot to reattach it or didn't see the need to do so.

As expected the light has come on - not too bad considering it's done 95k now. Ours is an early one, so appears to be on 176. Later ones use Powerflex - which is cheaper (£127 for the bag vs £170 for the early one). The housing and pump unit is the same part no, and the Eolys thread says 176 and Powerflex are mixable - so, anybody know if it's...

I asked simple question, which way does citroen nemo

Hi everyone?
Got a couple of issues. I have a Citroën berlingo van 2012 b9. The fan runs so loud everytime I turn off the engine for 8 to 10 minutes every single time and the engine is never hot. It does that even if I just turn the van on and turn it off quickly.
I had a diagnostic check done and listed:
1: fault in the outside temperature...

I have a suspect small leak on crankshaft oil seal i think, still investigating but im pretty sure… is it a big job? Van is 63 plate with the 1.3 diesel engine.

Ive been told use WYNNS ENGINE STOP LEAK as anyone got any success stories using this?

Hi All,

On taking delivery of my pre-owned 2019 model/Jan 2020 registered Grand C4 Spacetourer last month, it came without a servicing schedule booklet which would have listed servicing periods and recorded actual servicing jobs performed, validated with the dealer's stamp. So now I am unable to determine at what time intervals or miles future...

Hi, is it possible to decode the equipment according to the VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] somewhere and whether the car has preparation for a towbar? Thanks

I was getting the car ready this evening to take the aux belt tensioners out for examination and took the ECU out for easier access. Being nosey as I am I unclipped the large connector on top intent on having a nose at it.

Lo and behold, several contacts have corroded and it looks like a couple others having been doing a bit of sparking :o :o...

I own a citroen c5 x7 2009 year, 120kw, diesel, station wagon, which was imported from France. While fixing the car, I discovered cables and a jack in the front bumper of the car, and I suspect that they are the connection for the front sensor. I will look for a way to install them later, I found in the rear left fender of the box some cables that...

My C5 III steering has become heavy. It is steel sprung, and has the electro pump. I had a leaking steering rack, I thought this was the culprit, and had it replaced. The problem, however, persisted. It does get servo assist, but the steering is heavier than what it should be.

I've had a full check of the front suspension, jacked the front up...

Can someone please tell me what wheel bolt thread there is on Mme's car.
We're both getting too old to hold up wheel after puncture to line up bolt holes & thought one like this might make life easier.

Would anyone have an idea how much of an issue is having a simple rather than a dual mass flywheel in a Xsara Picasso, 1.6hdi with 109bhp from 2005?

Clutch replaced along with a non-DMF at 95.3k miles....now up to 114.3k miles.

I'm wondering if there are any steps I could take to help my gearbox...I know next to nothing about gearboxes in...

Hi, im new to the C5 world and I only own my current car for about 2 weeks.

It has been maintained by the previous owner and it was serviced before I bought it, but I noticed this morning that the coolant has a weird colour ( cream brown liquid- attached picture), after a bit of investigation it seems theres oil in the coolant.

This leads me to...

Hi

I have a Xantia MK2 with a power steering. The steering ram bushes are worn .When turning the steering wheel rapidly left/right a knocking is heard. I logged to Citroen service and could only find the steering ram ( part # 4005.A2) but not the bushes. Can the bushes be bought separately ( I need the Citroen part number ) or they are integral...

Hi everyone,

I noticed today that my 2013 Citroën C3 1.0 petrol has an oil moisture on the part I circled in white in the photo.

20260208-211728.jpg

What exactly is this part?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi. I have checked on here but cant seem to find a definite answer. The blower fan is not working at all and was hoping for a simple blown fuse fix but cant locate which fuse or fuses i should be checking.
Background of my problem is that water has got in through the drivers side wheel arch drain as it was blocked. I noticed this on Thursday...

Hi there,
in my Citroen Grand C4 Spacetourer from 2022 I am trying to connect additional LED strip to the small boot light in the luggage space (I think I have the PA6-MX30). Unfortunately the light just blinks and turns off.
Is there any maximum power this light can consume? (My assumption is that the LED strip takes to much power)
Any ideas what...

Hi,

I have a 2025 C5 Aircross (one of the last of the outgoing model) and am looking to get a space saver spare. Living rurally with more pot holes than tarmac, I feel it would be prudent.

Has anyone bought one? One website which sells one with a generic kit suggests that the stud pattern for the MHEV is different to the other engines. (They are...

Hi all,

I've also had a blower fan go in the car. (2015 2.0 HDi, RHD) It was faulty and was replaced (checked via a separate 12V battery). It still didn't work, so I changed the resistor pack. No luck here either. Having read the other threads, I suspect it's now the relay switch. I haven't had much luck in locating it. I think @niallmoran had a...

Hello,

I own a 2011 2.0 HDI hydractive 3+ C5. I had heavy steering. The heaviness of the steering wheel was increasing when the weather temperature goes up 15 degrees. After a while went off completely. It does not turn at all. There is steering wheel faulty on the screen.

- Battery changed
- Alternator regulator checked. Bearing and brushes...

Good evening all I’m hoping for some help and advice, I’ve got a 2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6, it’s a non start, I’ve plugged my scanner in, and I’m not able to connect to the ECU, I’ve checked the usual suspect, fuse, all fine with that, I’m just wondering if someone could help on maybe what wires to check at the ECU to see if it’s getting a 12v...

Greetings all, I own a Citroen C3 1.4i, 2005 and suddenly the car started making a weird noise while idling it will run fine and then suddenly make that noise while the RPM drops (like the engine shakes itself), also makes that noise sometimes while driving but rarely.

I don’t know if it’s connected but just as this started happening the heating...

Hi guys, I'm sure somebody has had this issue already... Or can at least point me in the right direction.

My c3 2007 1.4hdi desire won't start. I get a Single solenoid click from the bsm when the key is turned.
So far the car has had:
New battery
New starter motor
Replacement bsm
Replacement bsi
ECU immobiliser unlocked

Starter turns engine...

Hi
I have this code and do not have a clue what it is. Google, YouTube all point to the vvt solenoid or oil control valve. Do these engines have one? The DV6TED4?
It appeared when accelerating hard from 50-70 on the motorway and the dash lit up, service light and all.
Any direction appreciated

Hi my C4 Picasso infotainment unit doesn’t seem to like being connected to my iPhone via Bluetooth. Everything else seems ok but when playing Spotify tracks via Bluetooth after a minute or so, there is a pop and the screen goes black and reboots itself. I reconnect and the same thing happens, any suggestions?

Hi, is it okay to change the oil in the transmission assuming it's never been done before? The car shifts perfectly fine, the only potential symptom is a slight judder once every 10 times going from P and down, other than that it's okay. The car has 274000km (2013 Citroen C5 2.0 HDI).

Unfortunately I’ve had a rat living in my engine, today my car lost power and struggling to gain speed. I took it for a diagnostics and it shown the diagnosis’s in pic attached so we assumed it was the injector. However I popped the bonnet this evening and it’s clear a rat has been living in my engine and chewed through some wiring! Does anybody...

Thanks
Hi,
I am writing from down under so my approach could be upside down but I feel that my experience could be beneficial to others.
My C5 developed intermittent PS failure first which in the end become permanent. Checked what I could, eventually found mega fuse 80 Amp thanks to this forum as is hidden under fuse box and measured OK (Car...

Hi.

The motorised tailagte struts on my GP failed last year and this necessitated forcing the tailgate to shut. I fitted gas struts which were too short, so I have just fitted new motorised struts.

My issue is that the fit of the tailgate is not correct. The kerbside, is OK, but the offside has a gap between the door. This was possibly caused by...

I have a 2022 C4, and this is the first real winter we will be spending together.
I was looking into buying a set of snow socks instead of chains (I never go anywhere where I need either of these, but better safe than sorry), but I could not find any size chart that fits my wheels (stock 195 60 R18).
I could not find any socks anywhere online (at...

So 50 hours later, our 1.2 Puretech is back in one piece. A few tips I felt the need the share.

The job was changing the valve seals shortly after Citroen changed the belt for free on a recall.

(1) You have to remove a lot of bits, so get lots of plastic trays etc to lay everything out in order.
(2) There are a lot of 8mm screws to undo, so have...

I put down a deposit on the car on Saturday and asked the dealership to fix an issue with the 360° camera.

I picked up my C5 X yesterday after giving them two days to resolve it. I already thought the way the 360° camera behaved was unusual, and unfortunately, it was exactly the same when I collected the car.
The dealership said the...

Bonjour à tous,
je souhaiterais avoir votre avis sur ma situation et des conseils sur la marche à suivre, car je commence à être vraiment malheureux avec cette voiture.

J’ai acheté une Citroën C5 X7 2.0 BlueHDi, année 2015, 180 ch, boîte automatique, avec un kilométrage annoncé de 146 000 km. Je pensais effectuer un entretien d’entrée classique...

Hey everyone!

I’ve been chasing a fuel-related issue on my C5 X7 2.0 HDi for the last few months, and I’m hoping someone here might have some ideas.

I keep getting the following fault codes on and off:

P0094 (small fuel leak)

P0087 (fuel pressure too low)

P0183 (fuel temp sensor high input)

Sometimes it’s just P0094, sometimes P0094 +...

Hello guys, im new here.
Long time french cars lover, my first car was citroen CX, then my Renault 25 Baccara, peugeot 407 and now recently got a Citroen C5 from 2011, 1.6 Petrol.
The car is amazing and i love everything about her.
I have only one issue.
When i drive the car normal and accelerate normal, everything is ok.
But when i give it more...

Hi All, Is this an easy change part or is it best left to my local garage? I believe the part no. is 1920RX, and so far expert advice has told me it is located on the right hand side of the engine viewed from the front of the car, or under the throttle body, which I believe is on the left side of the engine. So, I thought I would ask those who...

I have a 2014 1.6 Picasso and the drivers door has started to not recognise whether it is open or shut. It still locks ok, windows and mirrors are all working. When I open the door the courtesy light does not come on, and when I try and lock the car, I have to open another door and then it locks fine.
How easy is it to check the wiring between the...

Hi all,

About three weeks ago my 2012 1.6hdi berlingo went into limp mode and had an error code of p0087.
I changed the fuel filter …….and after around 200mikes the issue came back.

It seems to only occur when I’m accelerating hard.

I took some readings on the fuel rail ect- can anyone tell me if they look ok?

Any suggestions? Thanks

I've replaced the turbo on a Citroen C4 Picasso 2013/2014
VIN - VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Faults cleared from previous (low turbo and some others)

It ran fine for a couple of days but has now flagged up with P2563 - too much turbo

Any ideas what it could be?

Do I need to use Diagbox to initialise/re-learning the turbo replacement values?

Thanks

Good evening, everyone.

I am asking for your help and expertise to provide me with information about this error that appears in my car.

Hi All,
Recently had the battery stolen from a 2023 Citroen Dispatch 1.5 BlueHDi, whereby they snapped the top bracket in the process.
Picture attached.

Could anyone please assist with the part number and if possible where to buy from?

Kind regards

Solar Man 8-)

While checking the engine I noticed a plastic part hanging loose (see attached pdf file with photos).
Where does this part fit?
