Hi All

I managed it :-D tried a few times in the past but didn't quite work so had a look at the instructions again!
Anyway there's my baby looking good the other day :-D :-D :-D :-D

Thanks for letting me share this with you :oops:

Recently bought a s/hand '08 C5 whose aircon didn't work. Under warranty, so took it back & they regassed it and it worked fine - for a few days ! Then in S France realised it wasn't working again, so took to a Citroen garage who checked it over, left a pressure test on it for an hour, declared no leaks, regassed it (and added dye, none visible)...

Well I've finally changed them. It ended up being a bumper off job as I just could not get either in, even the nearside with the battery out! The reason the nearside wouldn't go in was because some numpty replaced the bulb but didn't push it all the way back in so it melted the holder. I managed to clear the hole with a dremel. With the headlights...

Can anyone show me how to remove the front door trims on my 2009 C5 Tourer? I've just had a new window mechanism fitted under warranty but they seem to have left something rattling around inside - it's too much inconvenience to take it back for them to sort!

Well the blower has stopped working on my new Hdi, which seller did advise of, but must have just been lucky the past week or so....

Now I always thought that the heated window stopped working when the blower failed , but mine appears to be working OK, well the light on the dashboard comes on. The only other thing that does not appear to work is...

Hi..

anyone have acess to citroen c2 wiring diagrams.. we have picked up a little c2 bit i have a tempery fault on that theres no throttle response but after a key off it can go ok for a while... also stuck in lomp mode..

i fiddled with the connections to the ecu and it was better but still in limp mode. the car has had a new throttle pedal but...

I'm gearing up for my 05 C5 2.0HDi DPF 80K service soon - can the Citroen gurus please advise on a few items?

1. Transmission oil
Total BV 75W80 - is 2 litres enough (6sp manual)?

2. Eolys
The car has done 78K, and according to the service schedule it needs Eolys top up at 80K. I have a 1L bottle available (Eolys 176) - can I just add 1L for...

Hi All,

I'm now at the point where I have to pull out the o/s driveshaft. The offset bolts are out of the way but the bearing doesn't want to move (it sounds so easy in the Haynes book!).
Any pointers on where and how hard I can lever or bang something to get it to move?

Also; how heavy is the gearbox? My reason for asking is that I'm working on...

My 1995 ZX 1.9D Elation has a TDC sensor - as I found while taking the gearbox off to change the clutch. I've pondered upon this all day and still can't think of any reason why it's there - unless it's for diagnostics. The only bit of electric string going to the inj pump is for the fuel cut-off solenoid.
Does anyone know why it's there...? :?

I have a funny feeling its screwed in super?

hi all i am in need of a clutch and a duel mass f/wheel for my C5 hdi vtr 54 reg face lift . can any body tell me of a good outlet for parts i have looked at ebay but i think i might get it a bit cheaper for a full kit so if any one knows of one can you please let me know.. and can you also tell me were i can find the engine code :?:

I've got a Citroen C5 -01

So, I'm from Sweden and I'm not used to talking about my car in English, so sorry in advance, but I'll try explain my problem as good as possible.

However, first I couldn't open my backdoors and left front door (just the right one), I could get the left front door open by putting key in and turning and meanwhile it's...

'04 Blingo, petrol. 94120341 last eight.

The 30A wiper motor fuse keep popping immediately. I can blow the fuse with the wiper motor unplugged, with the specific BSI connector unplugged, or with the stalk connection unplugged. Haven't Lexiated it yet, but there will be faults left right and centre from powering up with no airbag etc.

Hi, I have just changed the Auxcillary belt on my 1997 Xantia, While doing the job, I needed to remove the plastic gaurds to acess the belt. What type of bolts and fixings hold the gaurds to the car. Mine are totally coroded and unuseable. would these bolts and fixings be a dealership only product ( whatever they are called) thanks Terry . p.s....

The Radio did work but now it will not tune into anything on FM, update, the raadio is now working again, I had to press the on off button really hard?

is this normal?

Hi,
I'm returning on holiday soon and look what has happened to the bumper of my car. It has been off road for 8 months but sadly my cousin reversed into the bumper, he has replaced it but the colour match got cocked up. :( I'm not sure how he plans to resolve it at the moment?
I've ordered a cruise control stalk to fit on my return and I'll be...

Taken me 2 years to get round changing anti-sink sphere, mostly because work car & don't want to immobilise, reading on this Forum what a bitch it can be.
Rear end drops even when driving getting worse so had to sort it.

Hi I'm new to here and quite new to french cars unlike my father but I will do an intro thread latter.

I have had a C5 since christmas it has 204,000miles on it from new and I am the second owner after my dad so know the cars history. My dad has always been a drop it off at a dealer for every fault while I'm a fix it myself so hope someone can...

Does anybody have any mk1 C5 documentation that is NOT in French?
Preferably a Haynes manual ;-)

Does anyone know if I can tighten the door mirrors on C5, The drivers mirror blows in on dual carriageways or if I put my foot down. Dont want to make them permanent fix, as I like to fold them in when I park.
thanks

Oh yes, my 3.0 HDI has now achieved the sub 6 seconds to 60.

In gear acceleration is stunning and mpg while having fun is still around 33-35.

While driving sensibly I'm still achieving 40-45mpg!!! :-D

Citroen, thank you, what an engine the 3.0 HDI twin turbo diesel is, especially when remapped to 300 + bhp and 460 flbt :twisted:

Now to aim...

Hi all..

Does anyone know the FULL Spec of the C2 Design Spec... Is Air Con included or not?? I seem to think Design is Base Spec, though this does still include EW, PAS, CL, ABS...

Hi, I want to order a new coolant spare tank for my 1996 Xantia 1.9 TD but I want the newer one with the cut out hole for the sensor which my original car don't have but I have installed the sensor myself by cutting out the hole. My spare tank was cracked on the bottom. Problem is, have to order according to the chassis number but I don't want to...

so, the brake warning light occasionaly comes on when braking, i know what the front discs and pads should look like but ive never had drums or shoes, so do these look ok?

Can any experts advise please. Went to change front discs and pads on my 03 110 hdi c5 this morning. Released caliper - 15mm bolts but carrier appears to require a torx bolt - low and behold didnt have one so had to put it all back together. Anyone any idea what size I require and where best to get. Reverted my efforts to checking LDS level (...

Car will loose power when you pull off for a split second unless you give extra gas. Car has done 80k and all serviced and the swirl flaps work ok.

It is like you have lifted you foot from the pedal for a second, as soon as you pull off all is ok then after a second power drops.

I have used many fuel treatments and a can of wynns egr cleaner,...

WERE DO I FIND PAINT CODE ON 98 XANTIA,STEVE

I used the lexia to see if i have any associated errors , but none reported.
I tried the Fan test but the fans did not operate.

Ok I have a headlight that has a sort of laquer covering to it so sourced replacement ages ago finally got round to fitting it today (should have been in bed with the flu but couldnt take doing nothing any longer) after removing the old one I noticed the large silver box on the bottom of the new one making it xenon? Anyway it fitted fine and all...

Hi,
a fellah helped me from Greece, no sooner did I get a pdf from him, I immediately placed an order with the Technosir for the valprex valves, C850 Eccentric valve remover tool, as well as the Technosir C720, I got a return communication from Sandro at Technosir and I initiated a payment via the PP and their parcel was here to Canada from...

Just swapped my beloved Xantia 2.0 HDi for this and on collecting,was quite satisfied.88 miles down the road and I have an injector chuffing and a stink and half coming into the cab.It is under warranty albeit a short one.Is it a stinker to do my own repair or can I expect problems.Once again,any advice appreciated.

The trim on my car doors have a few lumps under the rubber I guess from the alloy going funny. What can be done with these did think about using a hammer to gently flatten them.

Been offered £200 for my c5 wgich was my first and which I believe has virtually nothing wrong other than an air leak I can't find or maf.

Well now it has a siezed front passenger caliper too.

So felt i couldn't do anything but get rid of it to scrappy which i am gutted by. (I'm very sentimental and also hate scraping something that i feel just...

Hi,
How do I find out if I have a Xantia HDI 90 or HDI 109 ??

Hi All,

After a year or so of my ZX (1995 1.9D, 139,500) getting more and more asthmatic, to the point where it was getting embarrassing on steep hills, I finally had the injectors serviced. Woo-hoo...! What a difference. It now starts easier, it doesn't puff out clouds of blue smoke when starting, it's got rid of the annoying chugging at idle...

Hi, how difficult is it to fit an auxcillary belt on my 1997 Xantia ? never done it before ! any aqdvice will be gratefully received, thanks Terry .

OK, there is no practical way an outcome of scrapping the car is to be entertained.

I am just the messenger/gobetween in this one; a local car has had a motor swap organised by another bloke I occasionally work for. He sublet it, and now it's come back on a tilt tray. Neither he nor I have confidence in the sublet agent's ability to make good -...

I've managed to scrape the NSFront side bumper just in front of the wheel arch whilst turning a corner, and its lost a bit of its 'Gallic flair'.
Does anyone know if the 'chrome' inserts on the bumper can be replaced or is it one big bumper piece? The plastic drirectly below the trim is scratched as well, can it be filled and painted?
Thanks!

I have been working thru some issues with a V6 I bought a year ago & the only major issue I have left is that it seems VERY thirsty on petrol. It seems to run very well, smooth, very strong acceleration, there does not seem to be any odd problems,..( leaking fuel etc) so I was wondering just what can be done to tune a car these days?? A mechanic...

Okay so left indicator okay. The right decided to double speed. Someone said it could be to do with bulbs. I did have YET ANOTHER bulb go but I just changed it and it's still having a blinkin fit (see what I did there ;).

Is there a setting maybe. I know some european cars have this speed of blinkin but really it is really getting on my nerves.

Is there a problem with service citroen as i can't gain access tonight and I had the same problem last night.

Hi my fuel pumps got a leak from the top gasket area and as been on veggie oils etc probably could need a rebuild etc as a bit lumpy from cold till warmed up after quite a while.

As you'll see from the Intro section, about a month ago I bought a 51 reg 2.2HDi Exclusive. The previous owner, Phil1969, had experienced some problems ( see onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;) which was traced to a punctured swirl valve diaphragm. This was replaced by Phil1969 who reported back on the forum that the car was now OK....

Hello im in need of a little help and advise please, I recently purchased a 1999 Berlingo van.
