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...

Hi All, can anyone tell me if there is a dimension difference between the rd45 in say a c8 for example and the he x7 and would they be compatible with either car assuming you have the kit of course?

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. It was joined by a solid amber check engine light. The service light then disappeared and while driving home, I did not hear any strange noises or notice rough...

They were ok yesterday - my sister in law complained about the heat in her seat which had been left switched on. But now neither seat will heat up - nothing on any setting. Fuse G37 is fine, so I don't know what to look at next, any suggestions? Will Lexia give a clue - can't remember if it does stuff like seats?

Hello French Car owners

C3 Picasso here 1.6 Diesel 2014

124K miles and not knowingly had this topped up before (have had the DPF filter cleaned at about 110K miles and not sure if this was topped up as part of that!)

Just had Particle Filter additive level too low warning pop up, which from looking on line seems to be Eolys or PAT fluid top up...

I inherited a Citroen C3 Picasso first generation (2009) that stood for more than 10 years. So I thought not to start it with old gasoline (I heard it can clog the fuel pump) but not being able to empty the fuel tank I simply put fresh gasoline into the tank over the old one. (It is the 1,4 litre VTi petrol engine.)
Even before all this action I...

I have the cams all out to reseal the upper cam blocks. I believe No1 is rear bank transmission end. However when I tried that with the belt still on only the front cam would pin in place. The belt was quite old but! I stripped it all thinking old belt issues and I can reset everything when I put the cams back in. Doubt and paranoia are now taking...

Hello everyone, i have one question.

Thanks!

Considering sleeping in the back of one of these but I'm unsure of the maximum rear load space size. Can anyone tell me the maximum length with the front passenger seat slid fully forward. Any sizes I've found online don't say if the front seat is in use. Also wondering in the models with the folding front seat leave a fully flat area or if its...

I thought I would try Halfords silicone wipers today. I used their checker and bought the recommended blade for my registration number. The blade comes with 3 plastic adapters labelled A, B and C. There is no guidance in the pack but refers to an online guide. That guide is generic only, with no mention of which adapter to use. Hopeless. As it...

I bought my car 1,5 year ago with a defekt heater. I thought it was just to replace with a new.

Something in the wires???
Do anyone have a wiring diagram?

I have recently gotten a Citroen c5 2.0i 2006. I was checking the hydraulic fluid level, the fluid didn't look good. It has no colour to it. Looks a little grey maybe, and very thick and dirty.

When I open the LDS cap it smells like old power steering fluid. A little bit burning smell that comes when a power steering fluid is old and needs to be...

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for some help on the actual removal of the battery. My 2019 Grand Spacetourer has developed a few 'idiosyncracies', which were eventually diagnosed - very expensively at the nearest dealer!- as low battery at 58%. Knowing that the battery is secured behind a number of sub-systems, I checked on line for a help video on...

Hi Everyone

My wife has a 2018 1.2 C3. Intermittently, there is a loss of power. If she pulls over, switches it off and then back on 5 seconds later, the performance is back to normal.

No lights show up on the dashboard and no error codes are showing from the ODB reader.

Has anyone had anything similar? It's been happening since we got it in...

Hello,

I know, there are some TPMS-Topics already, but I did not find a solution for my problem.
I ordered new tyres and decided to replace the exisiting TPMS-Sensors after all the years.
I did not know, which ones were installed, so I looked around the internet and thought the Schrader OE 9811536380 were the proper ones:

Hi,

I would be grateful if you would please advise original part numbers for the following vehicle:

2001 Citroen Berlingo 1.4i petrol
VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
Engine No.: FS873499453
Engine code: TU3JP

1. Fuel filter
2. Cabin / pollen filter

Thanks so much :)

If it detects an intermittent fault then it puts the light on, and it stays on 5 engine starts, but the code remains in the memory. All yours are intermittent, but it's not clear which one put the light on - but given the engine speed of the crank sensor one that seems likely. I would go back in clear the codes and then see which come back.

Hello, i need help with a 2007 C4 1.6Hdi with an occasional no start. Mostly when the car is already warmed up the starter will not turn. When i jump the starter it always turns and starts the car. I replaced the BSI (fuse box behind the left headlight) with a used part. It might be that the used part is also failing. Before purchasing another i...

Hi everyone. A few weeks ago I got a fault message on my Citroen e c4 saying electric traction fault. I took the car to Citroen and they had a look at it and came to the conclusion it was a faulty heater. So they ordered a new one and I then took the car back to be repaired .
Later that day they phoned me to say that they had broken the tool to...

Hi,
Can anybody here help me finding my ec4 specifications? I'm interested to know which charger I have and what optional are installed on my car

Thank you for your help

While trying to enable the CD changer option and install AUX plug I shorted some pins on the back of the RD3 radio and probably burned the Comfort VAN data bus B wire - pin 3 or pin C, depending on the image source (continuity test shows it's short to the ground).
The car turns but it won't start, display is dim, barely readable, while the warning...

Hello,

I've followed the Ad-blue tank drama for a while, but need to muse on something.

I've had a c4 grand (2018) and had it serviced with a citroen dealer every year since.

I, touch wood, have not had any ad-blue issues and it had it's 7th year service back in June.

One reason I kept it getting main dealer services was to aid my case for...

Hi, I had an injector replaced at the garage last week but he said he couldn’t code it and was probably due to the rain internal blowers not turning off. I have replaced the resistor pack on the blower which fixed that problem and as I have diagbox thought I would code it myself. It was injector 1 and that was originally faulty and as I had the...

Well, after some silence from my side in the forum , i ended trading my beloved '04 2.2 C5 for an 2011 X7 2.0 Hdi 163.

Just took it home (as spare time has been scarce) , but already realised 2 issues:

I've had a look around and haven't found the answer to this, so I'll ask those more experienced than I.

We had our first frosty morning here in France, so I thought I'd best check the antifreeze in both our cars. After having major engine-out work done on my C5 2.2HDi in June, I've only ever glanced at the water level, never actually tested it....

On the heads up display, when using built in sat nav, there is a large light blue square area which displays miles to next instruction, plus direction change arrow as appropriate. When using Waze, this square stays blank. A couple of days ago I was using Google maps, and I noticed that the displayed direction arrow was appearing as a mirror image...
