Hi all,
I have had to buy a used hub and steering Knuckle carrier and hub. The only one I could find had a rung wheel bolt in the hub but unlike the one that was on the car no one has attempted to drill it so it is savable. However it doesn't look like it has a whole pile of milage left on it. I couldn't separate the old upper ball joint so I just...

Hi,

The car is MK1 make year 2009, some times when the AC is on the idle is rough it does not happen all times but at least 50% at idle. When it happens I switch of the AC and the idle is OK. Any idea what might be the problem ?

Thanks

Hello everybody!!

I'm Brazilian and I'm working on building a real racing simulator for myself, and for that I invested in buying a dashboard from a C4 2013 THP Lounge, which was one of the real cars I've ever owned and I loved the car.
I'm having great difficulty in mapping the instrument panel pins to be able to know which pin is 12v, which pin...

Hello all,

Many greetings from a Citroen owner from Germany. I'm asking for your help because I'm not getting anywhere on my own.

My problem concerns my C5 II, diesel, 2.0 HDI 136 hp, built in 2006.

During the exhaust emission test at the due TÜV, there was an error message, which is why the test was cancelled:

Hi. I’ve got lumpy steering when turning on my Dispatch 2.0 HDi 2013 and firstly need to change the power steering fluid. I’ve checked the fluid and it looks like treacle! I can’t find anything specific to changing the fluid on YouTube but have found videos that show generally how to do it. Remove fluid from tank and then refill with new. Suck out...

Hello to everyone and happy new year,

Recently changed to an x7 after the x4. The problem is that gearbox manual mode doesn't do anything. In manual mode it reacts like it is on drive mode. No M indicator lights up on instrument panel. Sport mode is Ok, no fault on a diagnostics tool, not lexia, this morning. Current gear number appears normally...

Hi,

Just bought a second hand Citroen Dispatch (in Sweden I think the model is called Jumpy instead for Dispatch) with yearmake 2013. The van is fitted with an auxiliary heater. Part number should be 6462Y8 -- however I am unsure whether this is an Ebersprächer or Webasto. Does anyone knows how I can check this?

Second question: can this...

Hello everyone!

I have recently discovered that there is diesel pooling around the far right injector (from the drivers POV).
I tried cleaning it up, but after my daily commute (40km) the diesel started to appear again.
I tried seeing where the diesel is leaking from, while stationary at idling, but no luck as the leak seems to be very weak.
I...

Hi All,

Engine (2.0 hdi RHH) is stalling seconds after turning on, the fuel line is full of air bubbles and I have to prime almost each day.
Has anyone changed the o-rings from fuel line connectors? The problem is somewhere on filter housing and connectors because before filter housing there are no bubbles.
Cheers!

Hi all.

My wiper stalk has gone floppy in its wash-wipe direction!
I have identified the right com2000 and got one, but finding out how to swap it on a fixed-hub steering wheel seems almost impossible. Nothing like the M59 Berlingo I used to have.

I did find these YouTube vids but they are not great and incomplete:

Hi guys

Time for engine swap. Not because its needed, but because i want 😁

I have 2010 RHR with Delphi injection system. The engine i got from the donor car is with Siemens injection system. I got the whole engine with the BSM. The donor car has burned out so the BSI has melted.

My question is is there gonna be a problem after installing the...

As the title says , i'm trying to find if Mk1 Xenon lights and the next restyling have the same connection on headlights?
Thinking about the possibility of changing the front for the restyling one , and (if possible) get the directional xenon lights, in the future.
Anyone around here has that experience? :roll:

Hi all,

Considering buying a Citroen C5 and was hoping you could help me.

I remember my dad switching from a Megane to a C5 Mk1 (was the 2L diesel engine, manual) years ago and I just loved the C5.. the car was spacious and the suspension was fantastic.

For the past 6-7 years I only had Petrol cars.. not a diesel fan and was looking at a C5...

Hi all, my lovely Lingo pooped it's pants as I pulled out of a car park. ABS, ESP, ASR, GEARBOX etc.

Plugged in Diagbox, but it can't find Vin... input it manually, got that hopeless Lexia (I prefer diagbox) telling me NO FAULTS FOUND! Yet I can only manually get to 3rd and the dash is quite clear in its assertion that there IS a fault.

So, I...

Hello!

I have a Citroen C4 that won’t go into reverse. It’ll shift with the paddles but nothing from the gear stick at all. We’ve tried replacing it to no joy.

Is anyone on here local to the Yeovil area that has a lexia diagnostics tool?

Cheers

...so can a mod place it in correct forum and send me a link please?

We all know (well, quite a lot of us do) about BRICS and that being the primary reason for the li...erm, media spouting about the war in a certain state....

I digress.

But the latest is that Germany have applied to become a member!!! :shock:

That would mean a massive :lazer:...

Hello from egypt,
I have a citroen jumper/relay 2008 2.2 puma engine with injector pilot learning problem,
So recently i did engine rebuild and later i did buy rebuild kit for the injectors(nozzles and valves) from a china, i got a wokshop to do the rebuild for me and he tells me that the injectors on the test bench are ok,
But while trying to do...

Been a frequent reader of FCF , but didn't even remember i had account here, and that i've posted here in the past - it was 12 years ago! :mrgreen:
Anyway , don't own an Activa anymore , but continue with Citros. Have a '03 C5 2.0 HDi (with almost 800k) and recently got a '04 2.2HDi Exclusive (The illness continues :-D )

Evening everyone, question re: my dad's 2012 mk1 C4GP.

It's the 1.6 HDi manual, 110hp, but without stop start fitted.

From what I've seen it needs at least a 59Ah and something like 540a of cranking power, probably more like 65 and 600 respectively.

However whenever I stick the reg into a website it only returns stop start batteries, which I...

Hello forum
Yesterday I got a fault code on front right speed sensor. Also checked live parameters in Diagbox and as expected front right speed sensor remains att zero while moving.

Does anyone have experience with changing the sensor? Is it worth trying any form of cleaning before going all in?

Cheers!

I think i have come to a cross roads in my life regarding my citroen zx estate. I really like the old car but having it just sit on the drive covered up as and when makes me feel someone else is missing out on owning it.

Feeling very depressed about this too i dont want it scrapped i want someone who really loves these cars to take it on its...

Hi

My husbands car has the service light in saying engine fault. It’s been to the local garage and apparently they can’t find the ‘fault code’ in any manual/page. The exhaust fumes seem to be dragged into the car whilst idling so not sure if this may have something to do with it. Don’t have time to take to the dealership as it’s an hour drive...

Hi,
Any help in why the radio/cd would turn on and display as normal but no sound would come from the speakers.
Worked fine a few days ago, today nothing. No work has been done on car.

Hi All,

Thought I would create a new thread re above.

I have had the front and rear pipes break at all the usual places and repaired them and eventually they break again.

So I obtained the following 9mm/7mm (o/d -i/d)pipe and specific windscreen wash piping 7mm/4mm.

Front pipe was replaced with 9/7 mm pipe and connected to previous repair. Run...

After 6 years odd of outstandingly reliable service, finally time to pension off my faithful 206sw. Have decided to go for a Grand Picasso 2.0, 2015 on ( to meet the city charging zones). As I want a leather interior it narrows the field somewhat. First one I went to see (private seller), nice car until I lifted the lid --- expansion bottle bone...

My 2013 c4 grand Picasso, (mk1) has an airbag fault, it is showing fault code: P0660 Fault in The Passenger Airbag Deactivation Switch, Resistance Too Low
Is it likely to be the switch in the glove compartment that’s at fault?
Thanks.

I recently noticed on a C4 1.6THP with automatic ESG transmission that when I start from a standstill at low speed the car bounces. This is even more pronounced when I drive backwards at low speed when parking. when driving, the speeds change with a small delay. When checking, the diagnostics showed two errors P0949 and P0868. I checked the oil...

Had a guy from autoaid get the fault codes for the parking brake problem. There was a dpf fault too, he said that would be expensive to sort.

He also mentioned the battery isn't right? This was a new battery a few months ago. Should I return the battery for a replacement?

Could anyone interpret these codes for me, what do I need to ask my...

Parkers says the two rear airbags were optional too. It's probably one of those things that nobody every specced when buying the car :lol:

I'd imagine that, where fitted, they're integral to the seat rather than being installed in the door. There should be an 'Airbag' or 'SRS Airbag' sign/tag/loop to advertise the fact that they're fitted?

Or...

Hi

I have a 2013 C4 grand picasso. Last week the clutch was slipping in 5th and 6th gear. Had a new valeo clutch a kit and dual mass flywheel fitted but the problem is still there. Would there be anything else to cause the problem or could the new clutch or flywheel be faulty. Its 1.6 manual gearbox.

Hi all, I’ve just bought a 2013 Citroen c4 grand picasso, it needs some work doing to it, but one of the things are that the radio won’t switch on, has anyone one any idea what the problem might be? Any common faults that might cause this?
Thanks.

I am currently own of AX 1.5D 1995 Cascade 54bhp, I did not know there was three type of engine. One is 1.4d, 1.5d 54bhp LUCAS pump that I owned and 58bhp of 1.5d BOSCH pump which I have heard it did not on sale in UK.
I did a bit of search that the 1.4d is 53bhp 9 kg lighter because of interior is different from my 1.5d, so what is the point of...

Hi I am a new member who lives down in Victoria Australia. I am 70 and have had Citroens all my driving life starting with a Light 15. Over the last few years I have been trying to bring up to scratch a 2.7 C6 which I will never sell but continues to be a somewhat testing relationship.

My Other Half's 1.6hdi C4 has a puff of blue smoke on starting and only on starting.

I have been told by a ex mechanic that this is simply a small leak in valves(?) and it is nothing to worry about. In fact he says is libricates the valves(?).

The oil level doesn't seem to go down. So it kust be a tiny amount if oil even though the puff can be...

I have a strange vibration when going from 110 and up, the car is shaking. There is not noticeable shake in the steering wheel, so I don’t think it’s tires. I was thinking a break discs, but all those should be come also to steering wheel.
It’s an automatic with 2.2 hdi with 204hp

On the 4h journey back to Glasgow from Wakefield yesterday the C5 was great, refurbished steering (for now) and I even took it through a Wakey car wash that seemed to give a better wash than Ive ever seen... was just a Shell garage but somehow it seemed like the works..

Anyway, about half an hour south of Carlisle the cruise control turned...

Hi,

It seems my low speed fan on my Citroen C3 1.6 120 VTI 2012 doesn't come on, as I read the OBD coolant temp at around 97c, I even got to 102c (I think the high speed is working, but haven't seen it in action,
just that I never overheat, and the temp drops at around 105c in the OBD sensor reading).

To test the fan, I removed...

Hello,
I own a C5 for 2 years now. Unfortunately every now and then it starts to jerk, throws up emissions errors on the display, ESP error, check engine etc.
Sometimes it jerks less, sometimes it goes out. It cannot be started immediately, after a few times - a few minutes it starts. Always. Nevertheless, after it died today at a railway crossing...

My parking sensors have suddenly stopped working on my C5 57 estate.
Where do I look first?

Had a small bump yesterday. No major damage on first look, front grill popped in and reg plate cracked. On further inspection I've noticed that the N/S headlight doesn't sit flush anymore. The bumper seems to be sitting well on the car, no gaps anywhere.
Has anyone experienced similar or knows a fix? DIY or will it be a bodyshop job?...

Hello,

I recently changed the engine of my car with another one and now I'm facing some issues because I didn't replaced it with the same engine code.

And now I need to add the air doser an some other components to my existing installation, for that I need the injection schematics of the donor's car : VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Thank you

C1 battery died so replaced it with nice new one.

Engine starts then dies. Cant rev it or keep it running. Engline light is on.

Any places to check 1st. Any known common faults.

Thanks

Morning all
I’ve got an issue with a van that has me scratching my head a little. So before Xmas it kept saying internal fuel leak and low fuel pressure. Can’t remember exactly what it was showing pressure but I changed the HP pump and the fuel pressure sensor. Went to start the vehicle and it just wouldn’t run. Kept trying it and checking...

Hello, i am new in this forum and having gremlins with a C3 1.4hdi i bought several days ago. So the problem is that:

Hi... I have some problems with my Citroen c4 grand picasso 2011...I buy this car from Copart with many, many problems. One by one was fixed, except of one.

I've got a C4 Picasso 2014 Exclusive that has keyless entry, so the door handles have a sensor on them.

The front passenger handle doesn't work with keyless entry. All the other door handles work fine.

I have a 2007 C4GP 2L petrol 78000 miles.
Having a recurring fault code which happens intermittently with no difference in driving. Occasionally when idling there's a bit of hunting/chugging but very occasionally
Fault codes are P0170 and P0172
Could these be the coil pack or something else? Any help would be appreciated

I'm having black soot around one of my injectors. I'm planning on changing the seals but I'm not sure about the torque at which the clamp holding the injector needs to be tighneted to. Do somebody know the tightening torque for this?
The engine code is DV6FD.
