i would have thought if your concerned about the messy tank top, you could just re/profile the securing rod/clamp, so it holds the riser down more firmly

Have you checked the 'earthy' end of the demister for volts, shouldn't be any if there are check the connection. The window relay problem is probably due to corrosion round the switch, a very common fault, mine has never worked but I have never felt the need to use it.

So far I have changed the oil and the air and oil filters, have purchased a fuel filter and have topped up the coolant (but just with water).

Could someone please...

has the van got any history?
assuming not, then transmission oil, and cambelt (plus kit) water pump.. at 100K they are right on for a change

At the dealership it tended to be 3litres for petrol and 4litres for diesel units. That's just what parts handed out when you went to collect your service items, filters etc. Was always that way as far as I remember.

To be honest 3 is probably sufficient in most cases anyway (famous last words!) I think if you flush out all the old properly etc.

Secondly, only a few ml of the fluid are introduced into each tank...

I have had this Berlingo since the summer. I couldn't stand another winter of freezing temperatures in the Roomster which was a shame because its a nice motor. This morning was the first really cold morning of the season. At 6am coming out of work the car had a good layer of ice all over it. I started the engine and within a few minutes the ice...

Hi all, I have posted this problem before but am still no clearer. I have a 1.9 2005 C15 that has had a variety of issues, which now are mostly sorted. The only problem I have now is that I have had to replace a diode that I discovered in amongst a load of wires under the air filter.

Any ideas why when I get in my car in this damp cold weather my screen is so misted up on the inside?

Pollen filter not to old, no water leaking in the car and aircon works fine. Should I be doing something when parked up like leave recirculation on or switch off ac a few mins before parking up.

Afternoon all!

A month ago, I took the plunge and bought a 2000 plate Xantia HDi LX. I'd previously promised never to enter French car ownership after owning a 406 that started off fine, then degenerated into a pile of faults within three months, ended by a conrod making a break for freedom and exiting stage left. :(

This car seemed like a billy...

What would your diagnosis be for heavy steering when turning the wheel quickly at a standstill? Belts are fine and the LHM fluid has been changed to see if that improved anything. Slowly turning the wheel is okay too, most noticeable at low revs.

Fuel tank seems to be alright now, although I think the nose is a bit high, I remember seeing a guide...

Going by your experience and Citroen car making history, are spare parts easily obtainable then? What are the parts that are likely to fall apart that I need to keep...

Last post

The newer ones do seem to be more complicated and difficult to repair so the answer is I don't know. My C5 is already 12 years old with nearly 200,000 miles and its going fine, even has original clutch/DMF so I shall be sticking to that for a while yet, in fact if I have to replace it, another pre 04 2.0.Hdi will be the preferred option.

If so just either pop a bit of heatshrink over the pin or an empty insulated spade terminal. Even better (and neater) use a proper relay holder base.

I’ve just bought an 07 C5 Exclusive with a towbar. (Genuine Citroen fitment). According to the handbook the towbar doesn’t affect the reversing sensors and they automatically detect when a trailer is being towed. It could be that your towbar electrics are non Citroen and the sensors are disabled.
