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...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

citroen xsara picasso 2.0HDi - loss of power

by rudy691 » 01 Sep 2013, 23:11

First post

Hello.

I seem to have a problem with a loss of power on picasso 2.0HDi - it's a 2002 reg.

It started yesterday and mainly on 2nd or 3rd gear - loss of power for a few seconds like I'm running out of diesel. After I put the pedal to the floor it's ok.
Today it happened on the 5th gear at about 70-75mph.

Can anyone help me with this ?

Thanks

You need to put it on Lexia, Picasso's rarely fail, if I had to guess, I would try the brake light switch.

You've probably researched this already, but just in case. One way to properly ditch the dpf is with a Galleto cable and Ecusafe s/w. Then it's all easy. Lexia on it's own isn't enough. IMHO don't spend the money on fluid.

I have found from my limited exposure, that the 1.6 ECUs seem more blighted than other engines. No idea why; it's a motor with great potential that seems to have faults within the controller rather than sensor failures.

A filter like that has to be physically suffering a massive blockage before it impacts on the ability to lubricate as required. There are greater potential losses in the oil pump gears.

XM rear spheres, any cheapies out there?

by lankytim » 27 Aug 2013, 14:18

First post

The rear suspension on my CM is rock solid so I guess the rear spheres need doing, they were apparently changed within 2 years but look look rusty as hell.

Anyway, anybody got any kicking about?

You are probably bouncing on a fortune ! :-D

rev counter wire

by john » 25 Aug 2013, 15:05

First post

anyone know what wire is for the rev counter on a mk1 berlingo 1.4 petrol (sagem).

autodata show the ecu as 1 plug where as mine has 3, it shows it as 42 going to 426, where my ecu is a row of letters and a row of numbers.

sorted, took the feed from the coil pack.

Grey smoke/burning smell

by evoke » 25 Aug 2013, 09:43

First post

I'm hoping this is nothing to worry about, but after a struggle to turn into a very tight parking space at a relative's house yesterday that required a 7-point lock-to-lock turn, I noticed wisps of grey smoke from the front offside of the car. After parking up I switched off the engine and opened the bonnet and could see a bit of smoke escaping...

^ Yes, it hasn't happened after that even though i've parked in the same spot several times over the weekend. Phew!

Speedo reads different to cruise control

Hi I have a 06 C5Mk2 1.6HDI and I have noticed that the speedo reads about 5mph faster than the what the cruise control is set at, anyone have any clue why :)

I have posted this a few days ago, but i picked up a 56 plate C5 just over a week ago and had my suspicions about my speed. By running with the gps it turned out speedo was Under reading by 8mph! Just intuition that made me drive a little slower. Looking at the speedo and rev counter with the engine off the speedo needle was pointing lower than...

Re refilling the additive tank I did it on my present C5 and found it to be a very simple task, firstly I bought the additive from Citroen as they now offer a new version (Infineum F7995) which reduces build up of ash on the particulates filter so worth it in the long run, the kit comes comes with the additive, a long length of hose with a tap and...

wheels, tyres, sensors

by Stempy » 25 Aug 2013, 21:15

First post

A new message has just started to appear on the info screen telling me that one of the wheel sensors is missing. Assuming no one has come along in the night and gone to the bother of nicking it I assume one has packed up doing whatever it does. So is there a way of telling which one?

As it could do with new tyres all round I was also wondering...

As I said, if you want to remove them and disable the warnings. If you remove them, they ain't gonna be fitted.

C5 2.0HDI 110bhp vs Laguna 1.9DCI 120 bhp

by aneesh84 » 23 Aug 2013, 01:03

First post

I would like your opinion about which car to choose:

onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

The laguna seems a bit cheaper. But does the 1.9 120bhp DCI engine last as well as the 2.0 8v HDI engine?

Last post

Yeah anyways I think its best to to stick to late Xantia /C5/ 406 with HDI engines.

Early Xantia Driveshafts (lack of)

Hi all,

My 1993 Xant has an outer CV joint that is donald duck'd. Although it's the (expensive) long one (shaft) I'm inclined to fit a complete new shaft as it's the original and maybe the rest of the shaft isn't too far behind. Only trouble is I can only find shafts for sale for '95 onwards Xants :( GSF, Euro, CP4L and Mr Auto don't appear to...

I have a pair of them in the garage that are surplus to my requirements since I went HDI
