New PSA Heritage Parts for Classic Cars

by GiveMeABreak » 11 Oct 2019, 16:18

First post

Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

This may be of interest to Members with older vehicles where getting parts is a struggle and for those not already aware of the site.

PSA are embarking on a project to provide some supplies of original and re manufactured parts for older vehicles and classics, and have made it a...

Last post

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

Citroen use a specific testing device connected to the pyrotechnic components prior to testing as any powered fault finding device like an ohmmeter can trigger them.

DW8 1.9D - how do I disconnect this fuel line from the left of the engine to the filter hosing?

First post

So in having a go at bodging together a bit of a twin tank setup for cold weather veg running I managed to break the plastic right angle piece on my fuel line.

Looks like I'm going to have to replace it.

I had a go at squeezing the one on the filter housing but no joy. I didn't pull especially hard so as not to break it(!)

I'm after a nudge on...

Last post

Yes, you squeeze them and they should come off pretty easily.
They're made of hard, brittle plastic, so you need to apply both forces(squeeze and pull) in the same place, or risk breaking them.
Given you almost certainly won't be able to get the hose off the plastic connector, it might be better to consider making your connections elsewhere.

Just before xmas, out shopping, when Fred went all stuttery and stalled. Would start up, rev, and stall.

So finally changed the fuel pump for a brand new one that I bought may 2017! Been driving around with a leak from the air vent, running into a bottle, for all that time. Oops.

She runs lovely now. No fuel leaks! Wup wup!

But of course...

If you bought a replacement, you just need to unclip the black plug from the amber lighting plastic and replace with the new parts.

C5x7 dies in traffic - what's going on?

by petef » 29 Dec 2018, 19:11

First post

So, Central Glasgow, Saturday afternoon, heading for station to drop off kids after visiting at Christmas. Waiting at traffic lights.......suddenly everything dies - engine, all dash lights, heater fan... then this noise starts from the front of car, a loud strange whirring noise I've never heard before. Try to coast to kerb but inadvertently put...

Last post

If that was noise from fan, that usually means ecu failure, lost comunication etc. If that happens once again, chek sensors for absence of 5V referent voltage. If there is no 5V voltage that means that ecu doesnt have control. Before condemn ecu be sure to check all powers and grounds to ecu. Also try to disconect all sensors which share 5V...

How to open passenger door with spare key?

by RayJ » 01 Jan 2019, 15:34

First post

Hi there,
I am struggling to insert key on passenger door of a Citroen C4, 2006.
Which side of the spare key with Citroen logo should be to the left or right? Is this something of any significance?
Thanks in advance

Last post

If the key won't turn then it's possible that the tumblers inside have seized. This happened some years ago with key barrels on our Xsara as we habitually used the key fob to lock and unlock the car. I managed to get the passenger side key barrel to work by continual spraying in the key slot with WD40 (other fluids are available) and careful...

I am getting this error every now and then. I use generic OBD2 reader to clear the fault. It disappear for 1000km or so and then come back again. Its been happening since two years and I dont see any issue in driving, but just want to know what could be the cause of the issue. Most of the time this error appear when starting the car in the morning.

Last post

So on the money there then, it’s about end of life and if the readings for the downstream are fluctuating then that would confirm it.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen.

Could some kind sole please jog my memmory. Is the extra width on the V6/HDi etc Xantia front hubs from the drive flange or the whole hub assembly ? I've gotten myself into a pickle as I cannot remember ! I thought it was from the different drive flange, but now I'm not so sure. :(

Thanks. Ian.

Hi.
Ive been having a major headache with my relay. It had an egr cooler fail and drowned the engine. Had the engine stripped and rebuilt and since then, its not run properly. Ticks over fine but turbo will not boost.

If you have had the turbo tested/rebuilt and no vacuum leaks then has the turbo pressure vacuum solenoid valve been checked, not so much for leaks but that the vacuum pipes have been put back in the correct place, put them back wrong and the turbo will not get a vacuum and will not boost but testing the pipes will show no leaks.
Can you get a...

When I had an air leak all I got was struggling (even more than usual) on hills, but I do feel for you; you really shouldn't be having all this grief, having paid someone good money to sort your original problem. sparksie's summed it pretty well - AND offered some sound advice as to general approach.

citroen GRAND PICASSO C4 2015 diesel 2.0 Hdi with two technical problems

First post

Hi every one,
I have citroen GRAND PICASSO C4 2015 diesel 2.0 Hdi with two technical problems:

1. The first issue is that the start & Stop system suddenly stop working, when there is a sign of a clock near the eco image.
You can see an example with a picture number 1 foR that problem.
Is anyone know what the is the sign of the clock next to the...

Last post

The stop start probably will not work while you have that gearbox fault as a safety precaution. Don't get hung upon that 'clock', the ECO light to the left tells you the status of the system:

When it is lit green, it means the system has put the engine into STOP mode.
The ECO goes OFF when the engine has started and you start to move off.
If it...

The second is to remove them which I don’t really want to do.

I have approached some Ebay sellers of this item but they say that the long part number does not match.

Could that be just a serial number with the main reference being L06 - 00 ?

Hi all
I posted about a C5 with no functioning tail lights, before the weekend.
As reported in that thread, the owner had an unfortunate coming together with a very large Massey Ferguson, on her way to see me, so now the tail lights are the least of her worries.
The front bumper is broken in two, the grilles ( I think there are two) are buckled,...

Broken Wiper Linkage

Hi,

Headed out at lunchtime today to get some things and the wipers failed. I can hear the motor so I suspect that it is the linkage that has failed.
Weather is too bad here to be driving without them at the minute. So unless I can fix them then I'm in a taxi until fixed!

What is needed to get access to the linkage? Car is an 01 Xsara 90HDi.

Well done. Little b*stards, aren't they!

Thanks for the update - yep, they're not cheap and that's why the dealers just replace the whole unit - flaming expensive things. It makes me thoroughly defrost the windscreen and ensure I 'park' the wipers in frosty conditions now, so I don't accidentally trigger them and put additional strain on the wiper motors!
