Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

Disruption to Parts Service

This being a turbo-diesel, the only air mass flow factor that you can easily affect is intercooler efficiency - i.e. how effective is the intercooler in reducing the temperature of the (compressed) air.

2003 C5 - 4 or 2 Wheel Alignment?

by LEEHUMP1 » 02 Aug 2014, 18:17

First post

I own a 2003 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi estate. I am thinking of having my wheels aligned as the steering wheel is off centre and when aligned they will correct it for me.

Does the C5 need 2 or 4 wheel alignment? My old Mondeo needed 4 but I understand older French cars have a fixed rear axle and only require 2 wheel alignment. Any help....

Regards, Lee.

Last post

You can get a four wheel alignment done on any car that has 4 wheels, on the C5 yes it's not adjustable but there are specs for the rear geometry so it can still be measured, if the spec is out then it can point to problems like worn bushes or bearings.

Last post

Moral of the story, never run a diesel too low on fuel. At best your gauge temporarily stops working, at worst the pump sucks up sediment from the bottom of your tank and blocks the injectors. :(

Can anyone tell me the correct position for the rear spoiler on an S1, measurements for holes etc. please. There is not one locally that I can look at, not sure if it's supposed to line up with the slight 'v' of the hatch or overhang the hatch.

All suggestions gratefully...

If your car has ESP the steering angle sensor in the com2000 will need to be programmed with Lexia, if not then its plug & play.
And yes best to confirm power supplies & earth before jumping in & replacing the unit, the problems described can also be a short or open circuit in the data wires between the com2000 & the under bonnet fusebox.

Xsara engine temperature

by Epzilon » 25 Jul 2014, 22:19

First post

Hi all

I just bought my Citroen #2 today, a Xsara 2003, and on the way home I noticed that the engine is not getting to 90 degree.

This is the nature of the car's temperature - when I drive in the 30 zone, I get 90 degree, in 45-60 I get 80-82 degree, in the 90+ zone I get 75-80. When it run idle it can get up to 90, then the fan kicks in and...

Well, I had the same problem with my Saxo. Trying to change the thermostat, it wasn't even there :) putting a new one inside, the car overheated.
Then either the thermostat you fitted was faulty or the wrong one, or something else was wrong with the cooling system, like a failed pump impeller or blocked radiator...

In any case on your new car...

Repair old C5 or buy new one?

by MarkyP » 26 Jul 2014, 20:21

First post

Hi,

I have a 51 plate C5 2.0 HDi. It's done 160,000 miles now, bought it at 100,000 miles 18 months ago for £1200 (I do a lot of mileage). It's been a little diamond with very little being spent on it apart from servicing, brakes, alernator belt and drop links, and flew through the MOT back in April. Now it's getting close to needing a new cam...

Last post

Are you planning to do some of the work yourself or get it all done at a garage ? That can be a big deciding factor as a timing belt change is labour intensive but not that expensive parts wise, certainly for a simple (single cam ?) engine like that. Do it yourself and it wouldn't cost much at all.

It would have to be a garage job. Not confident...

C5 Mk II Suspension

by birstall » 28 Apr 2014, 12:34

First post

After running my current car for a long time and not being happy with the suspension, I've found the following:
Before I set off on a journey I push the up button on the suspension, then after it has gone up, I set it back down again.
I find that this considerably improves the quality of the ride.
I previously asked my mechanic to check the ride...

Last post

Thanks for the replies to this topic, all gratefully received.

Update: I tried the reboot procedure but without charging the battery. Unfortunately the procedure includes lowering the suspension to the minimum height and I've found that this sometimes triggers the problem. So after the procedure, the suspension seemed to be bad again.

I arranged...

MA5 Selector Shaft "Play"

by addo » 26 Jul 2014, 10:22

I'm referring to the rear side mounted selector shaft, not the top one.

It's well enough known for the rollpin to wear and introduce slop, also for the oil seals to age and leak. What I'm wondering is, in a high mileage example - does the actual bore this selector shaft passes through, wear oversize?

Replacing Xantia wing mirror glass ?

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how the drivers door mirror glass of a S1 Xantia comes out without breaking everything ?

The new one has a ring on the back of the glass and what looks like a peel off sticky pad but I can't tell for sure how the original comes out. Does it lever out or does the front (opposite) side of the shroud come off somehow ? It...

C5 Rear suspension sinking when parked

by The Hatter » 22 Jul 2014, 22:22

First post

I've had a 2004 C5 2.0 HDi estate for about 10 weeks, and it's suddenly disgraced itself after a long run by sinking very low at the rear when parked on my drive and leaving a pool of what looks like LDS fluid under the offside front corner of the car. It seems to be leaking fluid from somewhere under the LDS reservoir in the engine bay. There's...

Last post

I've now found one of the gaiters on the rear struts also has a small amount of fluid leaking out and dripping.

Having done a bit of thinking; I can only see a couple of ways for the rear end to sink; it's either losing fluid through the height corrector valve (or whatever it's called on a c5!) or it's losing fluid through the strut seals. In...

No reason why not, that I can think of.
The resistor is there just to simulate the load of a filament lamp.

Citroen C8 sidelight replacement

Can anyone advise me on how to remove and replace the front sidelight on a Citroen C8.

I've been trying to figure out how to do this on and off for about a year now.
I can feel the back of the housing and I can see it with the aid of a mirror.

I've taken a picture of the reflection of the housing so you can see what I'm referring to:

Thanks Matthew. That's really helpful.
I've removed the dipped beam protector on numerous occasions so I know where you mean.
I had it replaced as part of a recent MOT but it is good to know how to do it for future reference.

I think the only socket supplied with ignition off is the one in the back loading area of an estate.
