8 versions of EWPB eh? Thanks for that. I can remember the good old days when a colour name was enough, with the paint code to back it up. I have a strange memory for paint colours and number plates from previous cars. Yet I can't remember a word my Wife said 5 minutes ago :?

My very first car JRM639L had Sebring Red paint. When I needed some, I...

Hello everyone, I own a 163HP version of C5 2.0. I used to get a DPF fault on the screen and I cleaned it up through a machine. After that started to get EGR valve malfunction. I do not see EGR valve fault on the screen for a month. The car recently started to act like stalling and jerky below 2000 rpm and as far as I know, EGR valve is mostly...

Post a picture of the tyre pressure sticker on the door pillar and we can see the RPO on there. :)

Is this the part you are after? :)

This may help with the hose:

Please can anybody help
I can pay for it
I've been looking for a diagram for a long time and can't find it.

Thank you very much, i hope...

Yes, I hope someone else can and will help me.
Great with the guide to the diagrams.
Very helpful! Thanks a lot Mickthemaverick :-D

I do not like the AI stuff google produces. On a search it always shows an AI result first and reads as if it might be correct when it should have a disclaimer saying it might be a load of rubbish. Then a bit further down the search are often the same words from the source so it appears to only have looked at one result. Then as you go further...

All sounds to be a linked problem so maybe tell the dealer now. Do you use the mycitroen app? Where does that think you last parked? You might need to refresh several times then close and re open the app once or twice to get up to date position. I hope you get it sorted, My Tom Tom usually knows where I am but the routing and speed data can be...

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.

Had a look at turbo yesterday the actuator is electronic so does that mean the position sensor is built in the actuator no vacuum pipes ????

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...

Its got a brand new battery, its only been in the van 3 months and voltage is spot on. It had a scan 2 days ago in the garage and it shows no fault codes .

It's not a software issue. I bought NG4 unit from 2010 and date was still not moving forward. Next time I bought Ng4 unit from 2011 and now date is working! But now I have other problem, the radio control roller on the steering wheel stopped working with newer radio....

I suggest you add your query on to the end of this thread.

Did this ever get fixed?
I have the same issue but this came about after i had a new clutch and starter motor fitted.

If it was from straight away after the clutch was changed, then my first suspicions would be that they forgot to reconnect something - a ground, or a connector - or they perhaps damaged/pinched or pulled a wire going to the rack...

This is from a web search using duckduck.ai and sounds about right.

Turns out was just the starter motor thanks for the help.

Without gearbox or RPO number, I worked out around 09750, this is the best option I could find in my backup. :)

With the aid of the info in the guide linked below you should be able to work it out. Good luck :)

Not sure but are you asking for some help ?

Just to let anyone know reading this that the front hub nut size on my Citroen c2 is 30mm

The spec is M20 X 1.5. And the stock hex size is 30mm.
The size of the hex portion can change as the previous person working on the car may have used aftermarket nuts. The size of the hex is not proportional to the thread size and the nuts can be flanged...

Hello everyone,

Just bought a (quite negleted) C5 X7 and I need to adress some things on it that will require jacking. I undestand that...

Because you have a 2.0, not a 3.0 it's a bit different, you have to find the right wires on the connector from the BHI (black box on top of the pomp).
Then you have to connect the resistors 10 Ohm/10 Watt on these ones.
But before you do this, you can remove fuse G39 first to see how the car behaves when it's in the soft mode, you get an error on...

If bought from a dealer they would have provided a warranty so something to consider if a battery charge does not help. If bought privately ask the previous owner what they know about it, they may be unaware or have tried a few things and save you repeating them.

By idle, Mick meant 12.7 volts before starting the car for the first start of the...

Yes the release cable was deleted from the last cars but was shown on the diagram on the main dealer parts diagram.
Priced at 1998, 76 euros🤪
I've contacted a couple of breakers but no reply yet.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

This link would suggest that the cooler is for the transmission fluid. :)

This morning, at -9 degrees, it worked perfectly. The cause of the malfunction was a blown injector seal, which caused fuel to leak back.

What year is the car ?
Check the coolant level is not low and if ok then it could be a fault with the thermostat. Also make sure the engine fan is working. If you have a code reader that does live data see what temperatures the coolant is when it is going up and down.

This topic is worth a read

Thank you Mickthemaverick, reply appreciated.

Kind regards

Hello, I have the same hard steering issue on my 2.0 2011 C5. No fault on the screen. Battery changed, alternator brushes changed. Fluid changed with LDS. Bleeding procedure was applied. Voltage goes down 14,4 > 12,9 and goes back 14,4 again. I think steering is smoother at low weather temperature like 3-4 degrees. I will try to check everything...

That's fantastic news :D

Just for context...
First diagnostic codes: system scanned (12) 25/11/25
BSI - 2 faults - F5FF, F047
ECU - 2 faults- PO113,U1118
ABS or ESP - 2 faults - U1321,U1121

Another diagnostic at the same place after fitting the two top mounts and fixing ground wire as they thought it was the problem: system scanned (13) 2/1/26
ECU -4 faults - U1318,...

I’ve attached photos that show what I have.
One of the photos is of what I think is a climate control unit (DENSO CLIM BCC CEM01), this was connected via the yellow clip to the top of the plastic ducting.
What is the component still attached to the right of this? I’m pretty sure that’s not the resistor?
As you can see though, the resistor is not...

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.

Delighted you got a result! Nice work - welcome to the French car forum! I'm always amazed how corrosion works to make even the most factory looking connections unreliable or work for continuity but not load testing. I spray all contacts with contact cleaner by default these days.

Thanks for the reply.
Yep, I use it on boiler PCBs all the...

Indeed it is in the members' area Roger so you'll need to shell out from the donate button above :)

Cheers, will have a go later.

The battery is brand new and dealer fitted, so shouldn't be the problem

Also check it is not over filled.....but as said they all do that Sir

The split/drilled PVC tube is a very neat problem solver....

thanks but the red clip has snapped so need to change the whole seat belt holder in middle of seats but cant see how to get out

Hi there and sorry for your trouble.
Your post attracted me as I also have a Relay van but with DW10FU engine, 2,0L from 2016 with much more Km. It is the second engine, it was changed at around 450K (km) ODO and now with this engine it has around 580K. What is the status of the engine head: camshafts, rockers etc.? How do you explain that an...

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.

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...

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.

If your code reader does live data you need to...
