Looking for advice on where to start. I am a fairly proficient diy mechanic and I also studied electronics at A-Level, thus I'm happy to take on many tasks to maintain my vehicles.

The right hand central air vent is delivering ambient temperature air with the a/c on in my 2016 DS4 Crossback (left hand central vent delivering cold air). This car has the two zone system. My Diagbox comes up with the code B131C1 which talks about “blower control problem” somesuch (forgotten the exact words). The external temperature was 23deg....

Hey, tried posting this on the Berlingo forums site nearly a month ago but no luck, so having a go here. I've got a 2001 Berlingo 2.0 HDi which no longer starts. It'll crank but won't actually fire up. I've noticed there's no whirring noise anymore when I turn the key so I suspect the lift pump isn't engaging. I've also noticed when I turn the key...

The car in question - Citroen c4 2013 2.0 hdi 110kw 6 speed manual.
When accelerating under load, exhibits a 'pulling back and forth' sensation (momentary power loss/surge) specifically around the 1800 RPM range, accompanied by a 'chut-chut' or surging noise from the turbocharger during acceleration. Then it throws Engine faulty on the radio...

Hi all, question for anyone with experience of c5x7 and C6.

I find that overnight the front ride height has lowered enough that unlocking the doors calls for the pump to raise it. Turning on the ignition raises it further. I recall 4 years ago with my c5 that it always raised a bit turning the ignition on but can't recall if it always did this...

Hi All,

I need to replace my rocker cover gasket due to an oil leak, but I cannot find the torque requirement or bolt tightening sequence for the rocker cover without forking out for the Haynes manual.
To confirm the engine model is 0BBHY and the rocker cover gasket model is RC1632S

Can anyone please confirm for me?

Thanks,
S

Hi, I am new here. I live in Somerset, UK. I have an engineering background and like to do as much as I can myself.
I have got a specific fault with the BERLINGO 625 LX L1 HDI Engine number JBCB0184398
I had one injector replaced as recommended by my local garage, and it has, if anything, made it worse.
Now, on freezing days, there is absolutely...

Weird one.

So I was looking to extend the manufacturer warranty before the car hits 3 years. No problem, go online and enter reg etc, the website recognises the car details but shows as no product availability under extended warranty

So I call the warranty team and they advised can only extend in the last 3 months of the original one expiring...

Hi guys, would love to get your input on an issue I've been having with my C5 Aircross.

When turning the heating on no air comes out of the front (both passenger sides), but cold air is blowing out the rear. The A/C is working perfectly fine.
I've researched a bit online and found that the common causes are a broke/clogged heater matrix, a...

Hello,
I'm starting this topic because I need help with some issues and error codes. My Citroen van is a BB furgon from 2016, chassis VIN number is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
Especially need to sort out some weirdo things that showed up after scanning my new Jumper van with Diagbox 7.83 (and the same with 9.68 Free).
I'm using a Lexia interface full chip...

The car runs well before the service, upon completion of the job the mechanic had trouble starting it. Guessing it might have been the air that got in … still doesn’t start at the moment. Im still with the mechanic

I have a problem with my 2009 2.7 v6 hdi c5. The front of the car sits very high and is super stiff in normal mode. Diagbox gets communication error trying to connect to the css/variable suspension ecu. So I can’t program the heights. I’ve checked all fuses and swapped the ecu once. I’ve also measured the wires between the css to the bhi....

Hope someone can help please - I want to do a fluid change on the autobox on my recently acquired C5 3.0HDI & my query relates to the correct oil for the transmission. I did a similar job on my previous 2.7 which I understand has the same Aisin Warner AM6 transmission & the correct oil spec for this was JWS 3309, available from well known supplier...

Hi all,

I have a 2019 C4 Grand SpaceTourer. A few months ago in August, the dreaded engine light came on.

I took my car to my trusted mechanic, who ran a system diagnostic, and got back various error messages and codes. He said to me the problem was not easily identifiable, but suspected the issue may be a sensor problem. He reset the codes,...

As an aside to another thread that I've started , for those seeking the meaning of the P1403/1404 codes I've just found an interesting thread. Look at the post near the bottom with the wiring diagram

It would appear that there are electric heaters within the heater matrix that provide instant cabin heat in cold weather.

Had an issue where car didn't drive straight after many alignments.

Replaced the rack and tracking adjusted so now drives straight, issue is now esp is on. Read the codes and are attached below.. did a calibration on the steering angle sensor and the live data shows it's working but still displays as faulty and esp remains.

The replacement rack...

I would dearly appreciate help with this please.
Have had an ongoing year-long but intermittent problem with my 2016 C4 Grand Picasso Automatic and I'm trying to cover all elements here, so apologies for the length of this post. The problem involves a dashboard warning which shows 'Gearbox failure - have repaired' It occurs mostly when the gear...

My power steering warning light has come up on my dash upon inspection via a code reading I’m getting these two codes - c1415, c1414 wondering if anyone has had any experience or could shed some light on some solutions.

Many thanks

The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) function on my (July) 2015 2.0 hdi Exclusive EAT6 Grand Picasso died around 6 months ago. At the time, the car battery was approaching 7 years old, and I did not worry unduly then.
I have now replaced the battery with the recommended AGM096, from Halfords, and the Stop-Start has been reborn, but the LDW has stayed...

Hello everyone. This is not just for Citroën, but anyone with a 1.2 PureTech engine.

There has been talk on another forum I am a member of about the premature failure of the internally housed cam belt and subsequent catastrophic damage to the engine. Many consider this to be a design fault and that the manufacturer, Stellantis, ought to do...

Hi all,

I am looking for advice on a peculiar case. I drive a 2009 Citroen Jumpy (Dispatch) with 1.6 hdi diesel engine, which obviously is starting to show some signs of aging.
From one day to the next, the windshield wiper fluid pump stopped working. Now, when I pull the handle to clean the windshield, the windshield wipers perform a few cycles...

Greetings all, I hope someone will be able to help me with what seems to be a rear speed sensor problem.

A few weeks ago the dashboard on my 2013 C4 Picasso Exclusive lit up like a Christmas tree, lots of alarms, stability control off, tyre pressure cruise off, ECO off etc. This followed some intermittent faults and warnings that quickly...

Hi getting water into the rear sensors, continual bleep when reverse is selected, goes off after a while driving. Any simple solution please. Thanks Mike

So I have a 2024 C4 C series, and I find the foot rest next to the clutch pedal more of a hindrance than a help. Is this removable, or is it a part of the structure?

Hi everyone.

First of all, is nice to be in here, this is the first specialised forum that I could found.

I came to ask you about a malfunction, which I think is common, in the instruments dashboard of my C4 1.4 2009. Basically, the screen stopped showing anything. Some days it is completely lighted (showing everything at once), and now it is...

Hello everyone

I hope I've posted this in the right place, this is my first time on the forum.

Long story but I got a citroen berlingo 66 plate model a few weeks ago and within less than 100 miles the cambelt stripped the teeth. After inspecting it there was no visible damage to the camshaft or the rocker arms (I believe they normally snap if...

Hi all

I have a 66 plate Citroen Berlingo 1.6hdi Adblue 8v

I recently had my cambelt strip teeth which I've posted about before. The van starts and drives fine but has no power so I decided to do a compression test.

My values for the cylinders are 230 - 240psi. The engine was cold when I did the test as I currently can't start it as I have a...

Hey everyone. I am now the proud owner of 2x C6s, the original amateur one where the window wouldn't close :) and her donor, who's in the roughest shape I have ever seen a C6 but has the bits I need.

I have upgraded my jump pack to a topdon JS3000. One can only assume it's a 4S LiPo inside as the open circuit voltage is 16.5V and drops to more...

Hi All,
I'm replacing the Magneti Marelli sat nav unit in my 2008 C5 X7 with a replacement unit. I have Thinkdiag software which will show me the VIN coded into the replacement unit but won't let me change it (I think - still talking to them). Does anyone who drinks red wine have a Lexia set up near Ipswich, I'd happily swap a 'bon bouteille' for...

Hiya, new to this site.

I’m a learner and was out driving my ds3 earlier today, suddenly the service light came on and beeped at me, I can’t remember if the light was constant or not.
