It's only happened a couple of times. Going along happily at about 80kph when it sounds like the engine is revving a bit harder. It's very quick, 2 secs, so not had chance to really see rev counter change but passenger couldn't hear anything.

Apart from that she's running well, not smoky. Bosch pump only couple of years old but does have an air...

Hello,

The engine starts and runs but the return lines (I think they are return lines) from the injectors have started leaking but I havn't touched them, where could I've gone wrong?

The AL4 gearbox has a 'memory' of sorts for differing driving styles.
There is an in car procedure to clear it, which I did years ago.
Do any members here know of it? I remember that involved pumping the (which?) pedals several times.

Hi,

I've bought a C4 Grand Picasso 2017
Sometimes when reversing I like to open the drivers side door to see behind me. (I know I'm strange...)
However when I do this it sets off a loud internal alarm, Does anyone know of a way to disable that?

Thanks

In November the nearside front caliper started seizing. I was going to do the job myself but it was very cold. I took it to a garage who told me it needed a new caliper, brake discs, pads and handbrake cables.

They did they job and everything was ok until Sunday when the offside caliper failed in the same way.

I know I'll need a new caliper and...

I bought a Citroen Berlingo 2013 a few months ago - it needed a new clutch. Garage replaced the clutch and flywheel (there was a single mass flywheel fitted so they replaced liek with like).

Hi Marc,

Got an issue with the demister motor not working on a Xsara Picasso, I believe the most common issue is something to do with an ignition wiring fault and there is a modification part available for the ignition wiring?

If there is anything available like wiring diagrams for the demisters that would be great but I...

Just changed the bottom rear engine mount bushing, was a pig to get off because I had a brain fart and ended up cutting it out with a hacksaw.
But it was super easy to get on with this tool -
Should have thought about it beforehand!!

I know the old bushing was hiding the issue, but now I have another...

Hi,

I’m having severe engine hesitation with my 2005 2L C5 RFJ EW10A, from stationary, Sometimes up to 3 seconds.

When I hit the gas (gently or roughly) - the engine, sometimes, won’t rev up, it gently chocks (as if it is to rich or as if I’m quickly vibrating the gas paddle at idle) and then revs up.

Sometimes it will just pause without the...

Hi,

I'm losing power in my 2000 Citroen relay 230 van. Anything above 2nd gear there no power and the engine light comes on. I thought it may be Injectors so I've had them out and sent away for serving. The company said there was no faults and have serviced them which is good. I don't want to put them back in yet. Is there anything else I need to...

Hi

Like many we have a Pluriel with roof issues. Main issue being the boot tailgate would not open when you press the button. Roof would also only open 1/3 then stop but was not really concerned about this. Digging on the internet pointed to replacing the roof ecu so purchased one off ebay, Swapped it over and the roof was dead as a dodo. Would...

hi..
I'm having trouble identifying an abs module for my Citroen c3 (2007 1.1i)

I have heard if I match exactly same year/spec I may not have to reprogram the unit at all.

I know my part numbers are

and 4542N1 (module)

and these run for about 450 RPO numbers..

Hi,
I was driving my C4P when all of a sudden the car went into Limp Mode, engine light came on, followed shortly by the ESP deactivating and the fact that the car started vibrating a lot. After I found a parking space I checked the errors with both a cheapo bluetooth odb2 reader and diagbox and both reported P0265 which seems to mean faulty...

2007 C4, wife's car. She told me warning lights came on and it felt funny.

Interrogation brought up my old adversary, the oil warning sensor (still haven't replaced it) along with a blown bulb (high beam) and power steering issue, which explained the whining I was hearing.

I replaced the bulb & erased the codes (apart from oil sensor fault which...

Hello

This might have been asked before but..

Has anyone tried C5 mkI/II rear hydraulic cylinder gaiters on a Xantia? They look quite similar and the Xantia ones are very hard to find.

It's a '05 1.8 Estate, manual with ~150k km from Italy.
Since 2017 drove only 200km with the last owner, so I spent ~2k euros to refresh it after I bought it.

Now I'm test-driving it for another 1k km to see what else will pop up.

New to c5, not to Citroens.

Few questions:
1. Manual gearbox (BE4/5J), when in gear the lever is pretty firm,...

Hello everyone
