Welcome along!

Unfortunately these things are a 'mare when they go wrong, and it's probably a less than evens chance you can fix it. You really need to do a bit more digging with diagbox to see what the live data is saying about the clutch position etc. It is possible that the clutch is knackered, and this is causing the problem.

Rattling Caterlytic Converter noise not as thought : )

Good evening from Mullion Cove Cornwall.

An update on our Citroen C5 2005 Petrol.

It also rattled as if full of dried peas if tapped hard.

Hi Spiff,
If they do go to separate ports, it's probably a cheap attempt to either alter the exhaust note, or to prevent the output from one exhaust port hitting another. Once upon a time, there were swept manifolds!
Don't think it's internal reinforcing - all a bit (too) loose for that.

Just in case anyone is still searching, Peugeot confirm that the correct part no for the 406 version of this engine is indeed 1920AR. You will also need Part No 1920AS , which is a spacer, to go with it. And before you ask, No, I don't know where to get one - I wish I did.

Hi. The sunroof dial works on a star shaped washer held against the circuit board by a spring. Over time the spring loses tension and the star shaped metal loses proper contact.

You'll either have 14 or 15 Steel wheels on at present. Alloys were available in 14 , 15 & 16 on the C2. One thing you'll want to watch is that the Power Steering was available in 60 & 65 Amps - and usually varies according to engine type and wheel size - so could be a factor.

Hi
I have had my car from 2011 , a Citroen C5 2.0l hdi saloon mk 1 it's done just over 90,000 miles. The car is ok it's never missed a beat really ,apart from my mistake blocking the injectors , other than that changed stuff due to age. The car needs a new clutch now , the clutch is up at the top of the peddle but not slipping yet.
So I am...

Last post

Anything I should look out for on the newer model , looking for one about 2010/2012 , anyone recommend the best model .
Thanks in advance .

Steering rack leaks on the X7 (MkIII). And it seems that even Citroen replacements have the same design flaw.

The 160bhp HDi is a great car to drive. Shame ours spent so much time not being driven.

Engine swap

by Aaninjs » 05 Sep 2018, 11:58

First post

Can anyone help with info.
Plan to do engine swap from 2.0l hpi to regular 2.0l 100kw engine.
Will it fit and what do i need to know?

Last post

I would think that generally, with the electronics systems built into modern cars, that engine swaps are becoming very difficult, and only possible if the donor car is of similar model, year and specification. You will probably need to swap several ECUs and wiring harnesses over, so you would really need a complete donor car available.

C4 Grand Picasso 1.6 HDI 2007

First post

Hello, I have a problem with my C4 Grand Picasso and I'm hoping that someone can help me out...

Basically, back in 2016, the EGS actuator was basically playing up and no longer functioning as it should, so car was dropping out of gears quite alot to the extent that I got tired of it (I believe this is a common problem with the EGS system) I then...

Last post

As far as I know, if the actuator is depressured (which it has to be to remove it) then it needs to re-programmed once refitted. This is a sequence it runs through to locate all the gear selection positions. It can only be done with Diagbox, and you really need an auxiliary power supply, as the car's own battery doesn't provide enough voltage. If...

Citroen Dispatch 2.0 Hdi Timing Belt

by benpauljohnson88 » 03 Sep 2018, 12:15

First post

Hi all,

Newbie here, a good old timing belt enquiry. I have just bought a 2004 Citroen Dispatch 2.0 Hdi, Having already owned a peugot expert (rest its soul) i am somewhat familiar with these but i am no mechanic. The citroen has done 115k with one owner from registration who passed away leaving the vehicle extremely (cosmetically at least) well...

Last post

If you don’t know its history change it. A visual check of a timing belt is NOT a good indicator of its condition.
I have replaced timing belts before that have done 100k miles & they barely look any different to the new one apart from some faded writing.

I would agree the hydropneumatic's are without doubt ideal for towing but the 407 weighs about the same and uses the same running gear, having owned and driven both the 406 gets my vote for reliability and handling, at least over the 2.0. the 2.2 rides much better, I've had both.

Replacing Spheres on a 1997 Citroen Xantia Estate 1.9 TD

by BMBCreative » 30 Jul 2018, 14:51

First post

Hi Folks,

I'm starting to get a fairly bumpy ride in my 1997 Citroen Xantia Estate 1.9 TD (Desire), mostly on the back wheels. All the spheres were re-gassed about 10 years ago but now it looks as if they need replacing. The front spheres don't seem too bad, It's mainly the back.
I have a few questions though if someone here can help me?

Is it...

Last post

Life of the traditional round green spheres is 3 years or so (without any re-gassing), with the anti-sink and Accumulator spheres maybe twice that, as they do less arduous work.
At 10 years, I'd really recommend replacing all of them.

Can't help with pointing up anyone near Limerick who might have re-gassing kit, but someone here just might just...
