Hi guys,

I have got a Citroen C5 X7 2010. Front airbags deployed and had to replace the whole dashboard and driver's airbags. With the airbag set I bought I was given a new clear airbag module. After fitting everything I tried to remove all errors what was successful however the airbag fault error keeps coming back straight after the ignition on....

Hi all my 2001 2.2 C5 seems to be destroying maf.s about every 200 miles the first two were lucas ones and the third was labeled as a UK manufactuerd one.The car runs fine for about 200 miles and then looses all power no lights come on the dash and when i use my lexia I cant see anything relating to this.once the MAF is disconnected the car will...

Very recently my car started developing the usual clutch problems of the pedal hitting the floor and not returning, after this happened I decided to google the problem, which is what lead me here.

So, everyone said, fit a new clutch cable, easy job, should only take you half an hour! :roll:

I picked up the pattern part clutch cable, laid it...

Hello guys need help..........

Anyway cancelled test :( and got my oldmans jack and...

My trusty C5 has completed it's last Journey :(

I have owned it for 3 years and while it's had problems for a car of that age it's been the best car I have owned :lol:

The multi belt snapped last weekend and while at my local Citroen specialist I was given the news that the rear bearing was knackered.I was quoted £400 to replace both bearing...

Hi, my S1 Xantia, I have just noticed very fine water droplets , high up in the passenger footwell. my question is ; is the only place the water can leak through.....the scuttle ? or are their other places ? thanks in advance Terry. matrix is ok.

C5 ‘53 plate, 2.0 L petrol, Auto Estate

Not so much a new topic as a continuation of one I started last December. Then I had a starting problem where (occasionally) the engine would run rough, misfiring and not pulling; this would throw up messages all over the dash – ECM fault, Service fault, Anti pollution Alert, Cat Conv Fault. I eventually...

As reported in the thread about Citroen plastics, which got a bit off topic, Cit failed her NCT on (among other things) the bottom wishbone bushings.
I ordered them and was surprised to hear they were available for immediate delivery.
I was less pleased to find, on inspection of the contents, that one of the sided ones had been mis-packaged, so...

Need some advice from the gurus on the forum.
My 2008 C5 Tourer started leaking fluid. I took it to the nearest dealership in Exeter.
They have reported back leaks from the power steering feed and return pipes and one of the suspension struts.
They are recommending replacing both struts and the whole job will cost £1300 inc VAT.
I am surprised by...

Hi all

My neighbours c3 key fob micro switch has erm dropped off.

Any idea if these fobs can be replaced?

My soldering for the micro switch isnt that good.

Dooing a Lexia session on a C5 HDi 8v 2.0, going in to the ECU came back with ECU Not Recognised however I can still go in and read the faults ETC. Though theres a warning that tests and faults may NOT be correct!

Anyone know why Lexia cannot recognise the ECU?? Thanks

Hi, probably a question that s already been asked, but is it possible to re gas hydraulic spheres. Iam about to change the ones on the front of my S1 Xantia, and feel it s a bit of a waste, to through them away . cheers Terry. :?:

lol...
as title says, I am fed up... ,
the alarm is working, all the doors lock and all the windows are closed etc.
Bonnet closed
Boot closed
even fuel flap is closed.

When I try to lock it, a beep from the alarm horn comes on ... I know this noise is made when a door is not closed properly. .. but I opened and closed everything 2 and 3 times...

I have not been here for a while. My Xantia got a need of many pipes and I was left a bit of money to buy a new car. I got a Ceed 4 tech, but that's another story, you can see my posts on the Kia owners forum.
To the point.
I have a Haynes manual for the Xantia which I can send for p&p. I will throw in the spare stupid plastic clip (clutch cable...

I removed these CD changer leads from an XM I'm breaking, but does anybody recognise what unit they would fit? The head unit was missing, as was the changer.

The flat square one was what fitted into the back of the head unit, the other two are the other end of the lead and an extension that went into the boot area.

It would be nice to...

Good evening fellow Citroenist's

Hope we are all keeping well, ive got a slight issue with my brothers rather rubbish C5, the issue is ive got to fix it :? and looking at the MK1 C5 hurts my eyes, it may turn me to stone its that ugly. Ok enough messing around then.

Two months ago it killed its battery overnight, not even enough juice 12hrs...

I'm having problems getting my Citroendocbackup to open. After the usual few minutes of it loading it then comes up with this error message

this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or if one exists create an association

Seadrebackup works fine.

Any ideas?

not rearly you can just ease the N/S/F corner away from the box cables conect into,this quite a simple job once you work out how the cables are attached inside the box regards malcolm

Hi Group.
I previously posted under C5 De-pollution faulty warning after difficult starting and had some useful comments. This problem (fuel starvation from air block) was solved but now I have a new one - which could be related. Previously, each time once the air block had passed through and the car started there were no further problems until...

Hi all. Been looking round for a Xantia Doseur valve (brake control valve) but have been told that it is no longer available. Even if I found one it looks impossible to fit. Is this the end of the road for what has been a fantastic car I wonder .Martin

Hi, just been checking the front calipers over my S1 Xantia, and found stamped on the caliper B X . Is this unusual ? cheers Terry.

I posted recently asking about the E crofting diode mod in an attempt to cure an intermittent harsh ride. Tantalisingly the car would sometimes be super super smooth and then the next minute become very harsh, particularly over drain covers, broken surfaces etc.

Rang up GT to ask for a poly v belt and was asked whether I had a Sanden or Delphi compressor, how do I find out which one is fitted and where is it located.

Thanks.

Hi all.My quest to get the brakes back to how they were on my HDi has made me look at when they changed and it seems that they altered after I changed the accumulator sphere. Can this be so, I thought it just gave back up pressure in case of a line failure. I just can't leave it alone ,fantastic motor otherwise =D> . Also does anybody know if...

My auto gearbox has been slipping a bit between 1st and 2nd gear so I took my car to a Citroen garage who tried and failed to read any diagnostics from the Transmission Control Unit... ECU version not supported error :(

They claimed that the slipping is nothing to worry about and that it will be fine so, knowing they are wrong, I took the car to...

does anyone know if it is possible to stop the full length electric sun roof flapping on an S reg Berlingo,

i drove this one to the MOT yesterday and it flaps all the time whilst driving it along,

maybe not shutting tight enough???????

Hi,

I've been having issues with the rear wiper on my S2 (1998, 1.9TD) estate firstly becoming intermittent, and now not doing anything what so ever.

I've checked the blue relay that is part of the wiper motor assembly, and that has been re-soldered and looks good. I've also checked all the cables at the boot door joint, and they are all ok...

Had a bit of an oh bother moment on the way to work as manoeuvring off the drive the bumper caught the edge of the fence which juts out and pulled it off.

Can someone with more skill with citroen service tell me the part number of the studs, or post a copy of the repair of them (which is in the subscriber section)?

I've just bought a Mk3 Citroen C5 estate, 2011

There's a round dial on the roof of the passenger glovebox - does anyone know what this is ?

Thanks in advance for all replies...

As my usual technical consultant isn't available, can anyone tell me what to use to reseal the sump (XUDT9) please?

The original sealant was about 2mm thick and grey in colour. It looked as if a bead was applied and the sump quickly tightened down (or should that be up?) until the gap was 2mm(?), then allowed to set before the bolts were...

I started investigating the Green Lady's indigestion this afternoon, the intention to being to 'drop the sump and see what the damage is'. Hah! not only are two or three of the set-screws inaccessible until I loosened the pressure regulator (11mm a/f heads), had to get creative to get at two more behind the HP pump and one was inaccessible until I...

The Green Lady is up and running again after a major engine strip-down revealed no obvious damage. Jim was right, the XUD9 is incredibly robust - the cambelt had jumped one (crankshaft) tooth and the horrendous noise (like a big-end gone) was nothing worse than No 1 inlet valve just touching the piston crown (the other 3 were just visibly kissing...

Hello guys,

Just picked up a C3 1.4HDi 92hp ... a really nice little car, spacious and comfy to drive.
It has a few problems, need your opinion on possible causes.
There is no service history on the car what so ever.

It has 111.000miles on the clock.

It has difficulty starting...
Once it starts it works fine on idle, no smoke or anything...

Hi and greetings to all my first post. I have the fortune or possible misfortune to own a berlingo x reg 2000 1.8 petrol.

Hi,
Northampton radio reported at lunch time 28/03/2014 that Citroen C4's and Peugeot 208's
Are being recalled by PSa because of a fire risk/insecure fuel lines.
apparently they didn't do up the fuel line clamps properly in the factory.
They didn't specify which models so probably a good idea to contact
your dealership.

regards.
Nigel.

Hi all :)

Can anyone confirm if these are the correct pads & discs for my car which is a year 2000 HDI 110 Exclusive:

Also what people's experience of these Mintex parts might be?

Thanks!

I was sort of sad to see the Acadiane go, after I had taken it to bits AND put it back together (I don't always do the second bit) but I think that it has gone to a good home.

Latest acquisition is a 1968 Dyane 6 saloon. It's a bit rusty in places and has a collection of scrapes that look like they have gradually been added to over the last 46...

Hi folks. I am thinking that Fred is too high at the back. I have measured from the floor to the wheel arch, which I know is not terribly scientific but gives an idea. At the front it is 65.5cm and the rear 66.5cm. Oddly going from service high to normal has very little effect on the rear height, it goes from 72 to 71. I have to put her in service...

Hi, my local Motor Factor supplier tells me that I should be using Fully Synthetic oil in my S1 Xantia , not Semi ! [-X according to Citroen ! any advice anyone, cheers Terry.

Hi guys,

my 2002 C5 2.2hdi is ok until I get to approx 2000 revs, then with little power it revs really quickly to around 3500-4000 revs, any ideas, could it be the clutch slipping or the turbo?

Somebody had fitted a dump valve. It's knackered, and I wish to return it to standard. I am however struggling to find a bung to block the hole off.

Can somebody please put me out my misery.
