I'm going to wind up returning my new toy to the dealer for rectification of the wonky electrics under warranty, but before I do, I am trying to establish if the seatbelt pretensioning is working correctly, oor not. Never had a car with this feature, so don't know what to expect. Once underway, the belt is fairly feebly reeled in and then judders...

As the title indicates, it is about removing all those badges (Except the Double Chevron - That i intent to cover in black or carbon Vinil) :mrgreen:
Already removed the Hdi . Citroen and C5 were going next , but as i was putting the fishing line behind the first letter , it seemed to have hit some stronger point. Before I go further, can someone...

Before i disassemble a lot of stuff to find where is the connector for the Catalytic Converter Temp Sensor (2) connection , could someone who knows its location enlighten me? :mrgreen:
I know where is the sensor , but then the wire goes up, and i'm not sure what i should disassemble to reach its connection. I wanna test it as it seems to have...

Hi.

A few years back I bought some Green valley roof bars for my 2013 DS3, there is a video
that shows how to do it but it just makes no sense to me, neither did the instructions, which I have now lost unfortunately.
From about 12 seconds in the guy puts these 2 parts either side of the stud in the recess in the roof strips, it's all wobbly...

My question is: Where can i find the tube from A/C? (where water gets expelled outside)

Thanks

Hi there.

I have a 2013 Diesel Ds3 that puts out a lot of dark smoke under acceleration, so much so that it mucked up my guy's brand new MOT emissions machine. When it starts it puts out a puff of white smoke. Both these symptoms started after I had the DPF changed due to the 'risk of clogging' and beep alert I was getting. This is a summary of...

Ay up!

Otterchops' dad here.

Well, the googats is slowly vanishing but, after replacing the track rod end I,will need to,adjust the tracking. :gt: :conf: :dunno:

It seems like the only way to do it is to undo the balljoint and turn the whole shebang. Is this the case? :hb: ](*,)

They've let the Frenchman design that......

Morning all, I've got a problem that someone on here may be able to help with or point me in the right direction, fingers crossed.

The brief is I have a 09 Nemo Multispace, that originally never came with fog lights. However, while doing some work at the front, I noticed that there appeared to be a multiplug connector going to knowhere in the...

Hi all, does anyone have a procedure for removal of the oil cooler on a C5 x7 2.0hdi 140bhp. Mine is throwing oil into the coolant. I got it unbolted but the hose there is a hose attached to a plastic pipe on the block. I have a new one coming. It comes with the plastic pipe and hose attached so I cut the hose but I want to replace the plastic...

Hi All,

Just had new tires on the front and wheel alignment adjusted, and it doesn't feel right to me...

I replaced both track rod ends over the last 2 weeks and so decided it would need the alignment checking but I think its now worse than my quick estimate adjustment!

When I replaced the joints I replaced them one at a time, then went for a...

Hi

I'm really struggling to find one seems to be like rocking horse s##t , would anyone know any other cars pug 206 etc that would be compatible? I know c3's can be similar but same issue.

Finally acquired a very pleasant Grand Picasso, 59k miles (2.0Blue HDi), only to find the clutch is well on he way out. Slight judder on gentle take ioff, but significant slippage if giving it the beans in an intermediate gear.

My reading of the market is that there are three key players for the DMF; LUK, Valeo and Sachs. I've generally never had...

Hi All,

Haven't posted for a while and it's not a big problem but my car is about 24 yr old and have had some rubber sections needed replacing (Mostly LHM pipes, due to the life span of the rubber).

The other day driving along I changed gear and the plastic / rubber gear knob just fell apart! It has been degrading for some time but now the...

Hi,
I have a C4 Picasso 2016 vtr. Yesterday the car threw up faults in abs, esp tyre inflation monitor, hill start assist and parking brake. These all appearing at one time would suggest a common cause but what that cause is , I haven't a clue. Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks to the invaluable support from this forum, I have been able to resolve a long-standing immobiliser problem on a Citroen Relay 2 (VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]).
The engine now starts and runs fine, (but still not MoT'd for road use).
I now have a number of DTC's to deal with (see attached). I presume the one relating to the fuel temperature sensor...

Good evening everyone,

Hi all,
I have a C4 Grand Picasso 2016 1.6 bluehdi 120 which is currently giving the P20F6 death of adblue tank error. From other posts I believe a replacement is unavoidable.
Can anyone tell me if this is a main dealer only job.

Hi,

I have a Citroen Jumpy from 2013 (I believe this one is called Dispatch in UK). It is an panel van turned into a camper.

The OEM stereo is (if I understand it correctly) a Blaupunkt RD4. I am in the process of replacing this with a double-DIN Nakamichi NAM1700 with reverse camera.

But now to my problem, replacing the stereo comes with at...

The pipe comes off the K piece and...

I did have a look at it, it has a white frame/surround where the BSI is sitting, it is in vertical position, behind the ODB socket, i can't not see any possibile way to get it out without removing the glove box and everything that is on the way! Does it in some way slide out of...

Evening all...
Today I tried changing the rear stiffness regulator, but the 10mm flare nuts beat me as 10mm to small & won't fit & an 11mm is to big so left that until tomorrow. So as it beat me today I've left it alone because if I go in, in my current mood I'll knacker the nuts & won't be able to tighten them back up........ But my main issue...

Hello

Could you guys help me find some decent replacement for this Xantia V6 rear engine/transmission mount?

Capturar1.JPG

I don't know if it makes any difference but my model is automatic (BVA - VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff])

I'm going to carry out some work on its axles and I'll take the opportunity to replace this part

Thanks!

Hi.
Had a few problems with tailgate on 2007 C5 not opening in past and always been due to broken wires, so fixed relatively easily.
However, it seems that the microswitch has given up the ghost now. How the heck do you remove it from tailgate? can't see anything obvious. Also, which part is it for the MK1 model estate, please?
Still able to open...

Hi, just replaced my old Radio cassette player , with another, in my S2 Xantia. everytime I turn the car off, I need to pop the code back in! why does'nt it keep the code? thanks inadvance Terry. :oops:

I have a C4 Grand Picasso Diesel Auto 1.6 2013 and only have done 7700 miles.
Suddenly the Start Stop function has stopped working. The ECO light flashes

draining the battery. I have already checked all requirements for the function

Hi All,

After 'stunt jump' over a brutal speed bump (was dark and wet is my excuse) I'm concerned the engine mountings may have been ripped / split. Seems to be more vibration and engine movement and exhaust front joint creaking.

Can't see any underside damage / exhaust was not hit.

The lower mount is OK, easy to check), but can't for life of...

Just a silly little niggle, but on our stereo's screen, the outside temperature is always reported much lower than it really is, like today it's reporting -3 to -4 but it's +8 outside. So I'm wondering what's the part number for the sensor and where is the sensor located, and, or is it possible to calibrate the existing sensor?

Weird experience today. The mirrors on Tourer stay in the closed position - as when the car is locked.
I have tried various thing but so not discovered how to make them open.
I thought I would check the fuses, but it was difficult to determine which fuse did what, and all the ones I looked at were fine.
Would resetting the BSI help?

Hi all

Hi,

I have a C4 Grand Picasso Mark II Exclusive + 2014 Model with AutoMatic boot. When the boot goes to close it makes a horrible grinding noise almost as if something is going to snap. I was thinking it could be struts on the way out, but I am not sure.

Any Help would be great.

Thanks,

I just got a probarly stupid idea. Could i take a turbo from a volkswagen 1.6 td and put that on my DW8B berlingo without having the engine blow up? Does the engine have oil ports?

Crazy guy from sweden :-D

Hi all, recently been thinking of upgrading from my 2008 c5 x7 to a newer model.
I’m seeing some nice examples out there for what seems decent prices and low mileages but all too often any particular example doesn’t quite have all the features I’ve been used to in my current c5.
I’m wondering how doable it is to swap over particular parts from my...

Hi All , had some very odd happenings with the dispatch . Few months ago , no issues with the van , went out one morning turned the key and no response , just a click from the fuse box area by drivers coin tray and anti pollution fault on screen and emmissions light on dash illuminated . Nothing for 48 hours kept drifting into economy mode ,...

Any ideas why my c4 13 plate is locking when I close the door? I’ve tried the locking button on the dash, does nothing..

The coolant level sensor has been playing up recently in my Citroen C3 (2004), beeping and red light flashing on the temp gauge. I have purchased a new sensor and tried to replace it in the expansion tank.

I removed the connector, turned the sensor to the left (so connector pin is facing down) and tried to pull it out. However, it does not want...

So, when I did the oil flush/change thing on my C8 with the AL4 box, I peered into the dim, dark recesses of the underbonnet and was unhappy, not only by the awful position of the filler plug, but the chances of any amount of dust dirt etc getting into the hole once unplugged.

How I overcame this was as follows:
Having got the beast warmed up on...

Could someone enlighten me please as to where the door open switch is on my 2010 Dispatch? Every now and again when I lean on the closed drivers door while driving it beeps at me. Guessing it's in the lock because I can't see any old style push switches. Seems to be more common when cold, or it's just getting worse and we happen to be in winter....

How feasible is having 2 ECUs: one unaltered/unmodified and the other one for experimental purposes. (of course not used at the same time but swapped when needed/wanted)
Apart from the technical difficulty of disconnecting and removing the ECU would there be any other challenges?

Both ECUs would be the same model and would be used on the same...

Hi,
Need a little help on this one. My Offside rear parking brake seems to be locked on when the cable is attached underneath. this is only affecting one side, the other side seems to release fine. I'm told by my mechanic that its the parking brake module but I'm not convinced. if it was the module then surely it would have affected the brakes on...

Hi

When turning on the car light the ESP and Parking sensor switches do not lit, as well as the door locking switch. The orange light on the switches are turned on and off when pressing the switch. I detached the switches and fed the light pins from external power supply and they do lit ( not surprisingly since the light source is LED ). Is there...
