Looking for replacement one as my car has always had one missing

I have a '01 C5 2.2 SX, I have Lexia...... and I have removed all of the dpf/additive functions.

now the final step requires a re-map to remove DPF references from EEPROM.

Is there anyone in the north of England that has the ability to do this for me?.......... by North I mean REAL North I.E North of Sheffield?

alternatively I could pay someone...

Hmm. As you all know, my C5 has issues. It's not worth me paying to get it sorted and I don't have time or facilities to DIY it.

I don't doubt I can sell it as it is.

Thing is, I like C5s. I wanted a Ford or Honda but driving home in conditions more suited to a boat earlier, I realised I really like them.

Should I bite the bullet and risk...

Hi Guys
I have a 2002 C5 2.2Hdi Exclusive Auto, and the anti pollution and ESP/ASR warning light came on yesterday and the car went into limp mod, upon investigation I found on the right hand end of the cylinder head, the plastic ball cup on the end of a thin rod has broken and obviously is not connected to the ball thingy.
I think (from...

The left side of my 1999 Xantia Activa 2.0i, doesn't rise at all.

hi guys, I recently started getting a few problems with my c5 hdi (sluggish and hesitating) and with numerous searches on various forums I came to the conclusion that the maf sensor needed replaced or cleaned, so I thought I would clean it out first and replace the air filter and fuel filter, so when I went to change the air filter I noticed the...

I am thinking that I need a wheel bearing on the VTS. Has anyone done one? And anyone know how much the bearing would cost and how much labour it needs to do the job? It's the front drivers side one.

Changed the MAF sensor today! Disconnected the battery to do so and left it for about an hour. Also added some snazzy engine cover clips so it now stay on! Hooray!

Then I went to start the car. It wont start and the Electronic immobiliser ignition light is lit. Have only tested it with Remote key so far, have a 2nd key I havent tried!

Help, how...

Ok the right indicator wont stay on anymore just seems loose something has failed inside
Is it an easy fix to replace the stalk ?

I know it's been posted before but there are so many threads relating to this I can't find it.
I've downloaded the diagbox stuff from the NZ site and copied it (three RAR files) to dvd how do I proceed from here.? I want to get the Lexia re-flashed but need these files loaded on the laptop and set up first.

citroen c5. 2002 hdi. speedo and rev. counter, when the ignition is turned off speedo and rev. counter does not register zero, both needles drop right down. when running both work, but register at half of what they should. the rev. counter registers zero when the engine is running, and should register about a thousand. i can still use the car but...

Hi, first post so hello to all!

We are looking at a 53 plate 2.0HDi with a view to purchasing it but it seems to be lacking in the power department. Other than that, its a great car, good condition, FSH, clean etc.
I know these have the 90BHP engines and so are not overly powerful to begin with but this one just seems sluggish to me.
We have an...

Hi All
My dads C5 has developed a problem in the last week, we were visiting him when he says it has no power, it will drive but it is very slow, checked with my Lexia (always take it when we go there as he lives in France) and the only fault showing is upstream cat temp sensor open or closed circuit, (it has been saying that since it was De...

Just bought a new clutch for my 2.2HDi C5 as its started to slip after 111k miles. Has anybody done this job who could give me any further info, ie subframe out etc etc. Never done a C5 and i think Monsieur Citroen will have a few surprises in store for me.

The other night my c5 got stuck in third gear and had to be toad home. On inspection I have been told it is the gear linkage selecta cable that has gone. Am going to scrap yards tomorrow to try and get a replacement. the question is are all hdi box's and their bits the same. i.e c5 1.6 hdi same as c4 1.6 hdi. please help

Advice needed! My C5 1.6 HDi 56 plate has twice shown the De-pollution system faulty warning. Each time it was after cocking up starting the car and stalling, then having to floor the accelerator to restart. The first time the warning cleared after a couple of short drives. This time the light won't clear despite 600 motorway miles. The service...

Ok, now I *think* i've got the engine problem sorted, its time to start making the C5 a bit more fun to be in!

Starting with a new head unit! Now, my dad (who has a MUCH newer C3) has been looking into it, and apparently the car will throw a wobbly if I plug a HU into it as it is. I don't want to do this however, as I do like the stalk controls,...

Hi Guys, new to forum so bear with me

Hi all, I'm new to the forum so hope I'm posting in the right area. I've just bought myself a 2000 Dispatch 1.9D none starter. After charging the battery it turns over ok but won't start. The lights come on on the dash and the immobiliser light goes off, the glow plug relay is working but that's about it. There is fuel at the pump but not the...

Hello guys,

The fuel gauge in my Xantia is playing up.

Sometimes it will read empty when starting up the car, then it will rise to the actual amount of fuel in the tank, but it works normally most of the time.

I have taken off the tank & checked the electrical connection to the fuel sender & it seems fine.

Does anybody know what else is likely...

If I reset the onboard display by pressing the button on the end of the wiper stalk the average mpg jumps about a bit for the first few miles then settles down. After I've done about 20-30 miles it never alters again until I press the reset button. So if I've done 200 miles town driving and its reading 40mpg and I then do a long run, the reading...

Evening all,
just as we wondered down the drive this avo, glanced at the car and saw a bubble, opp place for a water bead, remembered seeing an s2 xant Ets. on ebay last year with Bad rust on the rear arch area's,
Now, am i right in assuming that somethings up inside the wheel arch causing it?? Is it a case of wheel off, clean up, treat etc. or...

But! Recent anti roll links, New ball joints and rod ends, seems to be drivers side - not severe but annoying when I feel it a little art my feet.

Had a look at the joints and can't get any movement any where save for a little at the anti roll bar bushing - would this be likely? Didn't think it moved enough- looks a pig to change

Hi all,

I know that no Xantia came with a fuel consumption computer but that several Peugeots with the same engines came with them such that they could be retrofitted to a Xantia.

Does anyone know if the ES9J4 in the V6 supported outputs for a fuel consumption computer and whether that was used in a Peugeot 406 V6 ? If so what does the display...

Hi there, my name is Kelv and I recently purchased a 2002 Picasso Hdi Exclusive. I chose this for my missus to replace our aging but bulletproof and 100% reliable 306 DT.
I have been using 406oc forum for a while now and have learned a great deal, so this knowledge has been put to good use sorting out the few niggles the new Picasso has, I am only...

Hi, Wise and wizened one's..
When I take my foot off the throttle the car picks up speed and will go for about a minute before the revs drop back down,
I can't find any air leaks on the two rubber hoses, Could this be a EGR fault ? .. I was thinking about blanking it off anyway..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Steve

Finally going to have to do the NS wishbone bush on the Xantia - noticed yesterday when torquing the wheel bolts up after doing the drop link, that there is visible play in the pin now :lol: I know there are stories of short lived bushes - so what recommendations on what to fit, or is it just getting the alignment right that's more important? Just...

I've just been to test drive a manual 2007 C3 VTR. I was very impressed apart from a transmisson noise when accelerating or decelerating. It sounds rather like a exhaust roar with a muffled clicking sound. It's hardly noticable and disappears once you get up to speed and ease off the accelerator. The owner said it started about two years ago and...

Forget my problem of Xantia being stuck in hard mode...

Now it seem that rubber pipes decided they won't cooperate with the hydraulic system and are failing one after another. It's jolly nice when you get stranded on the side of the road with a green puddle under the car. Looks like you just slaughtered a Predator . Lost 4L of LHM in the past...

I expect others have already seen this article in the Torygraph motoring section, it dates from September, but I only found it yesterday when visiting my mother! It suggests that the XM is among the cars that will shortly start to rise in value & be considered classic . I would love to have one, but I already have my daughters Clio on SORN on the...

Does anyone have pinout or pin function chart for a C5 BSI? I've been trying to trace various niggly faults, one being the non function of the heated seats. Everything measures ok bar the feed to the heat level control switch which comes from pin 22 of the BSI according to the schematic I have. I am assuming this is a control voltage that is only...

Long story short.
Needed to replace Xantia s2 (1999) Exclusive 2l 16v front wheel hub carriers - someone sometime did something strange, or perhaps the garage did and it's just the bearing that duff. Who knows, something weird has happened.

So, picked up a s/h...
