En raison de la vague de chaleur actuelle, ma climatisation a commencé à souffler de l'air tiède. Le garage m'a proposé un devis de 150 euros pour un diagnostic complet avant même d'avoir commencé à inspecter le système. Après avoir branché l'adaptateur ELM327 sur le parking, l'application OBDocker a détecté une pression trop...

Hi everyone,

I have an intermittent HVAC issue with my Citroen C5 X7 and haven't been able to find another thread describing exactly the same symptoms.

After a longer drive, the airflow from the vents sometimes becomes extremely weak or disappears almost completely. The strange part is that the blower itself is definitely still running. I can...

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some help with my 2013 Citroën C5 X7 2.0 HDi RHH.

The fuel system keeps getting air into it. After the car has been standing, it can become difficult to start, and I need to use the manual fuel priming pump to remove the air and fill the system with fuel again.

So far, we have replaced the following parts:

I have decided to replace the 12V battery, as it always shows a low standing voltage, and takes most of a Sunday to charge on the Optimate. (It is 3 years old, and I suspect it stood flat for months between the car being traded in at 2 years and me buying it at 2 1/2 years which will have killed it)

It is an 027 EFB battery, the one fitted is an...

Hi everyone,

I am dealing with a harsh, metallic rattling/clunking noise coming from the roof of my 2023 Citroen C3 Aircross whenever I drive over deep bumps or uneven roads. The sound is definitely coming from between the exterior roof metal panel and the interior headliner.

During its recent annual service, the dealer acknowledged the noise...

I have read that first cylinder/piston need to set in tdc position (right?)? In this case the first...

Well, we finally have some useful snow in Croatia, and more coming on the way, so I decided to test the car how it handles on about 15 cm of snow, with ice here and there below it ... big open space (over 100,000 sq yards if I recalculated correctly), asphalt surface, no risks of damaging the car, no other vehicles or other obstacles ...

As it is very difficult to find Hydractive style spheres in Turkey (both for H2 and H3+) now, I have an idea.

Is it possible to remove the damping elements in the neck part of the spheres with the green Xantia spheres (and also, the grey C5 H3+ spheres), and install them in other spheres? Has anyone tried it?

As I mentioned elsewhere, I bought...

I'm having a PC clearout and found this document all about the Xantia Hydractive system changes.

I've had my ds3 1.6hdi for nearly 3 years now and it's always had this noise but it's gradually got a bit louder. This isn't my video but it's this exact noise.

Good morning, everyone!

I recently bought a 2005 C4 Coupé 2.0 HDI—a car I’ve always liked and a long-time dream of mine to own. However, I’ve been having a few issues and need your help.
I'm having symptoms like: sometimes it won't start, it's completely random, but then it starts after 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 seconds 😂. I thought it might be...

I have a Citroen c3 1.6 hdi 2005 90hp no dpf

Most people seem to use 5w30 but on recommendation from a oil site they reckon 5w40 is better and will burn less oil.
What is best for this car is the turbocharger safe with 5w40 as read it can get starved. But thought 5w40 might be good as high mileage. In the manual it states both are fine for this...

The back story; Battery was draining when vehicle left for more than a few days without running. This turned out to be a fleet tracker system that had been left in when I purchased the vehicle. Now successfully removed along with the parasitic drain it was causing.

Hi all,

First post so apologies if this information has been given out before. I did search the forums and although I found some really useful information I didn’t see exactly what I needed.

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with my 2010 Citroën Jumpy / Dispatch, 2.0 HDi 163 HP with FAP.

I was playing around with the CAN bus just out of curiosity.

Hello,

I have an issue with my car that is really bothering me.
The sunvisor flaps. The rotating thing that covers from sunlight just above the driver's head, they are heavily vibrating and making noises. Yet I don't see or notice any loose or damaged part.

one pic battery lead on, the other removed

Can someone please tell me the location of this module (1158). I have a glow plug fault and I want to check them via this plug rather than fighting my way to the back of the engine. I have a Citroen manual (on PC) but I cannot find any drawing which shows the physical location.

I just had a look on AutoTrader, and there are no Xantias listed.

eBay only boasts one.

Seems like they're now thin on the ground.

I have a leak above the drivers seat and after some testing it turns out that the water comes in at the joint shown on the picture, which I have learned from the local paint shop is actually a strip of silicone. Surprisingly it's not the windshield itself that is leaking.

It would be nice to repair it myself instead of paying 250€ to the shop so...

Hi All!

The drivers door on my 2009 Xsara Picasso (Petrol 1.6 DOHC) is tilted down so the bottom of the door hits the sill under the lock. So the door 'drops' down a bit as it comes off the door stop. How do I adjust the hinge to tilt it up?

To get a spanner on one of the hinge bolts it looks...

Hello,

Hi.

Or do i need to run wires from the button on the...

Update : After checking the wire for 12V I noticed that it comes only when the cable was held at specific position is held(I guess tension?) A few shrink wrap tubes for cables solved the issue.

Hi ! I just bought a citroen jumpy, i found a webasto unit, but dont have any control for it and I want to see if it was fitted from citroen or after by the previous owner. Does it go on automaticly or do I need to get a controller ? And how do I get the factory build sheet? Tried vin decoders online but no luck.

Purchased a dispatch that had boost issues causing limp mode.

Had to map the fault codes out to prevent limp mode to do some logging, im around 400-500mbar under expected boost with the reference value very high so the ecu is trying to demand more to get it to the desired.

Mapped the egr out for testing but made no difference.
