Hi everyone, I have a 2014 Citroen dispatch, my rear doors lock with the central locking, however will not unlock! You can hear a click in the rear door when you press the button! I have had to unplug the door to stop it locking so I can still use the van, you can sit and click the button to lock and unlock a million times for like 20 minutes...

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...

Hi everyone.

Just recently I have purchased a C4 Cactus 1560cc Blue Hdi diesel 06/2015 registered.
And already getting a message Have the vehicle repaired which is popping up when I start the car and also an orange engine sign permanently displayed on the dashboard. I have plugged the car to the OBD 2 scanner and it found 4 errors. I'm trying to...

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,

I have a Citroen Jumper from 2011 with the bad 2.2 HDI 4HU/Puma engine.
Bought it 3 years ago and converted it to camper. Context history/story of the problem:

first winter it only drove short periods during the build (in and out the shed), it also was an imported van and not yet registered, so couldnt hit the road. When ready for the...

Hello everyone, i have one question.
I have mk1 2004 Citroen C5 2.0HDi i would like to lower the car suspension for looks, is it possible to do it manually by adjusting sensors on anti roll bar?Is it safe for the car itself and for me and others on road to do it?
I do not have access to Lexia.
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...

Hello,

i have a Citroen C5 X7 VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] and i would like to replace the de-laminating manual rear view mirror with an electrochromatic one. Coming from a megane II with that feature it would be nice to have this. I have the rain sensor, but in case i don't have the harness i would like to know how to wire one up my self. So basically...

I bought my car 1,5 year ago with a defekt heater. I thought it was just to replace with a new.
But new heater. New resistance and tried a different display. Nothing works.
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...

I am struggerling to track this down, any help would be very much appriciated.

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 All

My indicator and seatbelt warning noise are not making no sound. Does anyone know what I need to do???

Thanks in advance.

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.
As expected , there's no perfect second hand c5 without some care , and here i go again on the next crusade :-D

Just took it home (as spare time has been scarce) , but already realised 2 issues:
There's some difficulty...

I am using this application for a month.
But I dont know some points to set:
How to set max charging battery?
How to display average consumption kWh per 100km?

Hello
I am new to this forum. I hope someone out there can advise, help me.
I am trying to replace the clutch.
This has been a very slow process partly due to the excessive hot weather.
I cannot work with the sun baking down on me.
Anyway back to the problem.
All has been removed (I think).

Hello everyone,
Just changed cabin filter and the hose 63040923 went down, where it fits?

Thanks

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...

Pick up points for front parking sensor.

Does any one have information on the pick up points for front parking sensors.

Im looking for Speedometer signal, +ve, reverse, radio mute.

The intructions that come with the device say what each wire is for but not where to connect to

Emails to Meta system either dont get there or are not replyed to!

Good evening everyone.
I'm writing to you about a problem that's been bothering me for some time on my 2007 C4 Picasso (mk1), with a 1.6 HDi.
I should start by saying that I'm Italian, so I drive on the left side of the car.

For about a year, I've had the infamous problem of hot air always blowing from the passenger side.
I immediately went to...

I know the OEM Adriatique wheels are 19x8 with ET33 but these are near impossible to get hands on over here. So i found some 19x8.5 Rays Engeneering ET37s instead but with a ET39.

The question is: would it be a problem with firment adding these with 19x225x35 tires? My calculations show that the wheels would widen 12mm towards the outside of the...

Hello all!

Here is an odd one for you.

I have been getting the electrical charge/battery fault since I have bought the car but the battery has remained charged fine and hasn't caused any issues.

Essentially, if I start the car and idle for a few minutes, the fault pops up. I then drive away and it clears a few minutes later. If I drive away...

Probably a long shot,

I seem to have some sort of plug/blank missing from the RHS of the heater box in my 2019 Citroen Dispatch van. At the moment I have an oval shaped hole under the pollen filter cover, that is just blasting out freezing cold air on to my feet. After watching some YouTube videos and looking at pictures I can see there is...

I have a fault code on my 2019 Citroen dispatch van for the upstream NOx sensor (P2A00) and when looking at live data the upstream sensor constantly reads 0ppm so I'm guessing it's failed and needs replacing. Does anyone know the part number for the upstream NOx sensor please? The van is a 2.0l 120hp. Thanks.

Ps. The second fault code for the...

Hello, The vehicle in concern is Citroen c4 1.6 hdi 2006y non dpf 80kw manual.

I've experiencing a very unique and strange noise on cold starts after a night around 0 C.
I have experienced the same noise around the same time last year with very similar outside conditions. But at the time I was working at the mechanic shop and replaced the...

Hi folks

Can anyone advise how the heck you get the battery out of these? It's surrounded by stuff and isn't immediately obvious how all that stuff comes out!

Many thanks 🙏

Paul

My Dispatch has started playing up. When the engine is warm it sometimes only clicks when you try to start it. It hasn't blown the 20A fuse yet. This was exactly the same on my 2.0HDI which was the starter solenoid.
Everything I've read on here and elsewhere says access to the starter is a pig so I'm wondering if you can remove and replace the...

Hello, my question is if it is possible and what is the correct way to configure the low beams or side lights on a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2007 1.6 HDI
as daytime running lights when the engine is started? The car does not have DRL lights as equipment.

I did the necessary thing through Diagbox/Lexia, setting in the BSI menu:
1. Type of daytime...

Dear colleagues,

my automatic rain sensor has become GRADUALLY toooo fast. It engages properly (a message like automatic rain sensor engaged appears on the dash board correctly) and since recently in that position the wipers are too fast, even when it stopped raining already. In the intermittent setting it works flawlessly. Should I replace the...

Hello

I just picked up a 2006 C2 1,4 (KFV engine) with a starting problem. At first, it was blowing fuses when starting with the key but would bump start, so I figured it would be as easy as replacing the starter. When I was looking at the car to buy it, the A/C fan stopped working when I turned it up from 3 to 4. Now, the car won't even bump...
