Hello!

I made a huge mistake and went with the cheap option for a water pump/timing belt change. The work was done and then the next day the car wouldnt start, the guy came back and 'fixed' the problem and then again the next day the car wouldnt start. This went on for around 6 weeks and happened exactly the same 5/6 times. During this time, the...

Hello everyone! I currently have a car equipped with the 1.5 bluehdi 100hp built in 2019. I know the engine has problems with the chain that runs the two cams. I learned that psa upgraded the engine with a new 8mm chain and new cams to solve the problem. I want to find the correct chain. Can someone give me the oem code number for the 8mm chain...

Hi all,

So I recently declogged my wheel arch drain on my C4 Grand Picasso as it was filling up and of course entering my driver footwell, just before that, my blower sounded like it wasn't controlling itself (weird whizzing noise) then it packed in.

So far I have:
1. Checked all relevant fuses.
2. Checked the blower, looked in a bad state so I...

Good afternoon all, and thank you in advance for any support offered.

I recently purchased a 2012 citroen berling van. On refuelling for the first time I received the following message risk of particle filter clogging . I've got a copy of diagbox and the diagnostics cable. On global test, I'm getting additive multiplexed pump - ecu not...

Hello I need to ask some advice with a water leak on my 2013 C5 X7 Tourer with the 2.2 Hdi 200ch engine .

I have a leak coming from the elbow that goes into the cylinder head next to the thermostat housing. It leaks from the bottom of the elbow with or without the engine running.

It is the small cylindrical piece behind the braded tube in the...

Hi,

What is the procedure to replace the ignition barrel?

Thanks

Not mine, but it is outside my house!!

My Sister's 2011 1.6 DV6C EGS. 'Box has thrown a wobbly, was failing to engage gears and then dropping out of gear. Now it won't do anything (i.e. start!), and is stuck in reverse. Diagbox reports P1755 - Clutch position fault - and it's permanent, and came right back after I deleted it. There were reports...

Hi,

I've got a 1.6 HDI dispatch, roughly 2010 in year. Here's some of the general 'might need to know' bits:
Battery is a bit weak, at 12.3v ish. Has started, unlocked etc fine but is almost always in eco mode
Everything generally works - no other issues I know of
No water ingress triggers
My lexia chose a good time to start playing up,...

I know nobody will be able to give me a definitive answer, but I'm interested to hear what the consensus is:

I have knocking noise from front nearside wheel. It's been progressively getting worse over the past year.

It's one of those knocking noises that occurs over uneven road surfaces. I'd say more of an up and down movement noise rather than...

Thanks Marc
Have you any trim removal process pictures for centre console around the Brake Switch
Thanks

Good morning all. I have recently acquired a lovely little 1.4 petrol Berlingo van, 57 plate. I think it needs a new clutch, which I’m happy to do as it didn’t cost a fortune and it’s a great little van. However, in addition to, or perhaps because of failing clutch, the bush on the engine end of the long gear linkage rod has just disappeared,...

Hi first post.
I have a 2013 relay that started up this morning in limp mode any pointers as where to start looking until i can get some Citroen specific OBD software

VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] faults i am seeing on a generic OBD reader are
P0382
P15BD
P15B9
Fuse number 17 is blowing

Engine is being restricted to 1800 revs and the glowplug lamp is...

Hi,

Lately when trying to turn on the engine the starter will not work. After many times of trying the starter will rotate for a second and then stop rotating. In order to check the problem I disconnected the plug ( in the fuse box under the hod ) that has the wire that hocked to the starter solenoid and fed 12v directly from the battery. When...

Hi,
can anyone tell me the fuse & relay location for the electric heater element that helps provide quick heat into the cabin on cold days.

I suspect that the electric heater isn't working as it takes an age to get even luke warm air out of the vents so would like to check it out.

Cheers.

Hi All

Thought it was too good to be true trouble free motoring for nearly a whole year. :twisted:
Vin is in my signature but today leaving work went to release the parking brake and heard a crunch as i lifted the button and it came up with a fault message repair immediately.
Apart pressing a couple more times it released and drove it home. As...

Disaster struck last night, must have nudged the rattle gun to tighten when taking the wheel off and broke a wheel bolt in the hub. :oops:

So... I'm wondering how difficult this is going to be to remedy it? I've had a google and a search of the forum and found the following diagram posted by Marc in another thread:

Hello All,

My Citroen C5 Estate 2008 was working fine but I decided to clean up the injector a little bit.

The car started behaving erratically after the clean up. It moves well when ignited but stops acceleration when the error code speed control faulty code appears on the dash.

What can I do to fix this? I will appreciate any assistance I...

Hello, I have problem that my mechanic cannot solve. Two weeks ago my car had error power steering faliure and antipollution error. Trying to use this car is random because, on one time i start a car and everythink is ok, next time power steering not working, next time car don't start at all. Power steering was not working I went to mechanic and...

Hi all,

Time to post again, my Xantia's still going well (25yr old this year).

Have just taken it to MOT at Kwik Fit (about 10th time they mot'd it) and its passed on everything but a steering rack gaitor (offside front).

I know these are relatively easy to replace, but has anyone got any advice on the procedure? Do you get access by removing...

Notice of end of Citroen Connected Assistance on Pre 2016 Vehicles

By this I mean those with an SOS or Citroen Logo Button that also require a...

Hello there
New to this board and hoping there is someone out here who can help. I have a 2009 C5 VTR+ which is a great car especially on long drives from North Yorkshire to south-west France. It would be even better then if it could show kilometres instead of miles on the digital display once we got into France, something I believe can be done in...

Hello everyone,
After many years of admiring the engineering and design of the 2CV I finally found one and purchased it.
Amazing little creatures! So simple yet so well thought out!
I’ve got an issue that I’m trying to figure out but don’t know if it’s inherent with the design of the front drive featuring single Cardan universal joints or if...

Hi everyone,
I've currently got an issue with central locking in my 2004 Citroen C3 Pluriel. The doors no longer respond to the key fob/internal (un)lock button. The boot unlocks and locks as it should but the only way to get in through the doors is by manually unlocking the passenger side with the key (there is no key hole on the driver side)....

Hello people,
My C4 (2006 1.6 16V) is not engaging manual mode. Other positions are ok. I have noticed a tiny magnet around the selection lever and took it off because I thought that it was dropped from somewhere else. As far as I understood from the technical documents, the manual mode is enabled by this little magnet. It should be located in its...

Hi all, looking for some advice from the group.

The front passenger side door of our Dispatch had a disagreement with a yellow bollard at a petrol station and as a result has some significant damage. We’ve had some dent repair specialists take a look who’ve advised a new door (but would be willing to have a go bit cant promise it won’t be...

At weekend had to get recovered by the AA (5 hour wait). On main road, 45mph coming down incline and engine cut out. Noticed engine braking so dropped into lower gear and released clutch, failed to restart so crawled to stop at side of road. Engine doesn't turn over just get fast whine. Will link to video with sound. Wonder if anyone has any ideas

Hello o'knowledgeable ones, my rear screen shattered on renewing the gas struts to the rear hatch and finding it difficult to find a replacement. Any ideas ?? Thank you.

Hello again,

So i have been traveling around europe for a few weeks and it seems my gearbox developed a problem, maybe from going fast on many autobahns. At first i thought it was the calibration, but i have recalibrated it a few times without improvement.
When the gearbox changes gears it makes a kind of clunk noise. It sounds like a double...

Citroen C5 X7 with VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] is throwing P11AA code mostly when accelerating above 3000 rpm in higher gears. On longer motorway drives it can be joined with P0234.

The airbag pretensioner fault error message and light come on most times when I get in the car.
It is caused by the airbag loop wiring under the drivers seat.

Hi guys I’m new to this so please forgive me if I’ve posted in the wrong area! Was thinking of changing the gearbox oil in my Citroen dispatch 2019 it’s got 137k mile and is the 2.0L model. Been searching for videos on how to do it but just can’t find any, was wondering if anyone could help?

Dear colleagues,

after having changed the timing belt on RHZB HDi 2.0 engines already 4 times and slowly getting acquainted with the HDi 240 (DT20C) engine in my C5 X7 I am thinking of doing the cam belt change myself, sometimes after this winter, when the temperatures permit it.

Can anyone, please, give me the Citroen's work description for...

2010 C3 Picasso

Hello, here's a tip if you have water trapped inside your door ( at least on the C3 Picassos )

My daughter said she could hear water sloshing around inside the rear passenger door, and sure enough there was indeed water trapped inside. At the time a cursory look didn't reveal any drainage holes. However, a small amount of water...

I have a strange problem. It's a C3 HDi -07 with the 109hp engine. Has DPF. I've had it for about 6 months and have been driving about 12000 km so far. Has 180000km on the meter (sorry if my english isn't OK).

Sometimes when I start the engine (cold) it's cutting out efter 4-5 seconds. Not always but the idle is dipping and will do so every...

Hi,

New member here looking to reduce rpms on the motorway of my `05 Citroen Relay 1500TD with 2.2HDI engine (believe to be DW12UTED)

Current 5 Speed Gearbox (believed to be MLGU5) is just too low geared so would I be able to replace my 5 speed with an MLGU6 gearbox to make motorway driving more pleasant?

If this is not possible - would the 5th...

Hi all had a bit of an accident on Friday.

Hi, new member here. I have a 2016 C4 GP 2.0 blue Hdi. Looks like I have a blocked heater matrix. System is split heating/aircon. Passenger side hot when set to hi, drivers side is relatively cool in comparison. Not too bad a job it appears but I've read there is a particular way to bleed the cooling system correctly. Is there anyway I can access...

Hi van was only left overnight but when I tried to drive if next day rear wheels are locked shut tried back and forth nothing problem is my drive is very steep so it's a bit dangerous to try taking it apart where it is.

I want to bleed the clutch on my C3 Picasso.
The problem is I cannot see any release valve on the slave cylinder. It has the outlet spigot, with a little rubber protecter but doesn't seem to have a nut or lever to open up a valve.

Just had my mot on my 2010 Citroen C5 X7 estate 1.6hdi and my mot tester mentioned to me that the SRS (supplementary restraint system) warning light does not illuminate with the ignition on and it was noted down as an advisory.

After going through the owners manual, it’s become my assumption that my car does not show this light. It only shows...

Hi all, it has been a while since I was on. Incredibly the C5 has been entirely trouble free!

I bought a replacement key to replace the original rather worn one and thought I could simply transfer the key blade over to the new remote. However, it is a pattern part and not exactly identical and seems that the key blank must be cut. OK, I'll go to...
