Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Citroën C4 Grand Picasso 1.6 HDi (2008) – starter struggles

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice from people with PSA experience, as I’m stuck with an intermittent starting issue that hasn’t been solved despite multiple parts being replaced.

You could check the engine/gear box earth strap is in good condition and clean up the bare metal (strap and body/casing) at each end where it bolts on. After starting, turn it off and then check if the starter motor main cable is hot suggesting a bit of a break in the wiring.

Before the first start of each day for a few days measure the battery...

That looks as though it's the same, or similar, to Eolys for lowering the combustion temperature of the DPF. They claim other benefits so sounds like cleaners are mixed in as well.

If you open up the resistor pack you might be surprised, ours was a complicated printed circuit and not a few resistors that I was expecting. This helps explain the cost. I measured the resistance across all the pins on our old and new one and found on the old one the values kept changing and went open circuit which probably suggested a fault. You...

If you want to pay for it doing, last month we had our Cactus DPF fluid refilled at a dealer and it was £357 including the diagnostic.
I have just contacted a Citroen specialist (Redline Servicing Limited) near me after your suggestion and they have quoted me £185+ vat all in to replace the bag and reset the system or £110 + vat if it is a...

[C5 X7] 3D printed boot-cubby elastic mounts

by MattBLancs » 06 Feb 2023, 21:33

First post

It's is interesting that nothing is provided to make these into a useable storage cubby on the X7 saloon - as there's a similar concept mesh basket provided in these positions on the X7 Tourer (estate) - will try to remember to take a picture in the daylight.

Nice resourceful idea, thanks for sharing!

[C5 X7] 3D printed keys for HP24W halogen DRL replacement

by the-termin8r » 29 Aug 2024, 20:38

First post

C5 X7 DRL keys.zip All pre-facelift X7 owners know the pain of replacing the DRLs. The least-worst way to do this is with a T45 key and some BluTack, but you risk either dropping the key (like I did twice) or the bulb into the bowels of the car. I got fed up of this, so I decided to design some keys to help the process. The mode of operation is...

Hi all,

As I mentioned in my other thread recently, I picked up a 3L diesel saloon with absolutely zero service history last week. Mechanically, it seems mostly fine from the ~70 miles I've driven in it, but I've booked it for a thorough inspection with Chevronics on the 11th. The results of said inspection will determine what I do with the car....

Ok, final update on the ambient strip retrofit. It's not perfect, but it's close enough. As mentioned in the last post, these unfortunately don't sync with the headlights turning on, they turn on with the ignition. Thankfully they're dim and unnoticeable in broad daylight. So it achieves the same effect.

Hi, before taking the car to a garage, I want to check I'm not missing anything obvious.

We have recently acquired a DS3, and had an engine fault appear on the screen. When trying to read codes, with both a cheap Bluetooth and a cheap generic scanner, neither will connect. The attempt with a wired one also caused some other faults to cycle,...

Hi @Ksi, did you use a battery maintainer when using Lexia diagbox? If not, your battery might go below a treshold where things do go crazy, programming might fail, with corrupted memory. I also recommend you to go to a dealer or to a garage with Stellantis approved diagnostics.

Citroen C3 battery drain

Hi all, So my wife owns a Citroen C3 2014 model and after 6 months of ownership the battery died. The AA replaced it and said the existing battery was unserviceable, but the alternator was fine. The AA's 5-year warranty battery died today after 1 year.
Of course they did everything they could to avoid replacing under warranty and he made 2 claims...

When you had the battery put on the car did they give you a contract/terms and conditions for the warranty - if so have look at it and see if the 2 reasons for not honouring the warranty are listed. What make is the battery ?

Presumably it was an AA patrol man who came to the 'rescue', why did he think the light switch was set to on or were the...

DV5RC and DV5RD engine differences?

Can anyone tell me the difference between the DV5RC and DV5RD engines?

My van had a DV5RD engine which has suffered the dreaded catastrophic engine failure and needs replaced.
I have found a used DV5RC engine with low miles.

Is this engine compatible and can be used in place of the DV5RD?

Thanks in advance

Last post

Did it run ok before the rebuild, is the engine turning over on the starter, have you rechecked the timing, is the key being recognised by the immobiliser - leave the key in the ignition and open the driver's door, you should get a warning message but if not the key might not be being recognised.

Hi,
Might be a daft question but can the headlights on these go out of focus?
They just don't seem to be lighting up the road as well at night as they used to

They still do the self leveling up and down pattern when I start it up

Could there be any other reason for them not being as bright as previous??

Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

2006 C4 Coupe VTS - Key Replacement and Programming

Hi fellow Citroën enthusiasts,

I'm trying to add an additional remote with key to my 2006 Citroen C4, as my original key has lost its unlock button. Dealership quoted me 420(!) EUR for key replacement of which 350+ for hardware, so I guess it's worth trying to replace myself.

I've read through many posts on key replacement here, but hoped to get...

Finally I can confirm that the programming of the keys worked out perfectly this morning!
I've postponed the programming quite long, not wanted to risk any planned holidays by car.

Have you tried to check if your pressure gauge is accurate, ones on foot pumps are way out, a separate digital one might be best. No idea if ones at petrol stations are any good but the pressures are meant to be checked with cold tyres so driving before checking will result in pressures being set too low.

Not sure about the rules now but when I...

P0087

Hi all,

Looking for some help!

I had the error code come up today P0087 (low fuel pressure)

I have only recently had the fuel filter changed around 1500 mile ago.

I was around an hour into my drive and as soon as the van went over 3000rpm the EML came on, upon plugging in the reader the error code was P0087.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Which engine does it have - petrol, diesel, size, mileage ?

If a diesel possibilities can include a leak, fuel pump problem, pressure control valve problem, pressure sensor problem, wiring/connector fault. There is a topic here on a 1.4 hdi but not yet resolved.

If a petrol some of above might apply.

Different sized engines might also have...
