I have inherited a 2012 Berlingo 1.6 e-HDi with the semi automatic gearbox (EGS or ETG6?) and I've sort of decided to keep it for a while.
It's done very little over the years and sat about a bit unused, only just clocked 25K but as I'm now using it a bit more it has developed a leak.

I first noticed it dripping of the diff housing and on closer...

Hi, could I ask for some help please.

I am changing the clutch release bearing (pull clutch) on my 2004 C5 2.0HDI. The clutch fork pin is seized in the box and I could do with some advice on how to remove it.
Does the pin lift up out of the box or go down into it?
Thank you for your help

Thinking that this model was designed over 10 years ago and how the reversing camera image is quite poor in the dark I’m wondering if it’s possible to replace the camera with a newer one with an updated sensor that will be more sensitive in low light conditions.
After market cameras tend to have RCA/phono plugs and I’m wondering what connection is...

Hi all. I’ve asked a couple of questions in this area before but couldn’t find much relevant info. I’m thinking I’d like to swap my old xud turbo diesel for a 2.0 hdi. Anyone know what problems I’d come up against?

Hi. I need some expertise opinion. Was driving along the highway. The alternator belt came off. When having a deeper inspection at home I noticed that it's not the belt that was torn but the tensioner was crooked. After even further inspection I noticed a hairline fracture on the big metal part where the tensioner is attached. The tensioner...

At gentle throttle openings the engine pulses like I’m constantly pressing and letting go of the accelerator. It does it on cruise control too. It’s only very gentle but it irritates the heck out of me.

Any ideas?

Hi forum,

Would anyone know if I can replace my rear springs with some heavier duty Citroen dispatch van springs??

As a new member - I have some questions about diagnosing faults.
Can I get an independent diagnosis? Reading other posts there seems to be different kinds of diagnoses.

Is there anyone near me in West Gloucestershire who might be able to help.

The reason I ask is because my car has pretty faultless since I first drove it on January 1st 2011 -...

Can anyone assist me with the engine wiring diagram for my 2006 1.1 C2 Furio. ABS but no stability control. Manual Gearbox. I am looking for all the engine related wiring going to the ECU. I have tried Sedre but the wiring diagram is incorrect. I think there might be a couple of different ECUs used... Mine has a Johnson Controls ECU. Seems to be...

Hello everyone. First of all, sorry for my rusty english. I'll try to explain this situation as simply as i can. Im just having such a time with this car and i just don't know what to do anymore.

Thank you

Morning forum I have just acquired a 2002 Citroen synergie 2.0 hdi which has a speedometer problem in as much as there are no actual total miles showing in the display but trip counter works. When you hit the trip reset button it seems to kill the whole speedometer and nothing works for around 10 mins.

Any help or advice would be grateful

The cruise control is erratic. Sometimes it works but more than often it does not. It seems to me that it has something to do with pedals. When I forced the clutch pedal more up with my toes sometimes it starts to work but as soon as I loosen the pressure to the pedal the cruise control switches off. So today I took off the clutch switch from the...

Good morning everyone
I’ve just purchased a 2012 berlingo which the engine has gone on it

I’m trying to source an engine for it but there’s loads of variants of the Dv6eted
My question is does anyone know the difference between a DV6DTED (9HP) engine and a DV6ETED (9HN)?
Was hoping to fit a 9hp in my 9hn

Any info would be really appreciated...

I’ve a 2009 Exclusive hdi X7.
There has been no problems with windows until now.
I washed and waxed my car really thoroughly. After an hour or so, when I tried to open my left front window, I just heard a sound when it tried to open it, but it doesn’t want to do it for some reason. It also makes sound when I’m trying to close it again (while it is...

I have a Citroen C2 1.1 I recently bought that has an irritating idle misfire.

The back story to me getting the car is a friend who had been a PSA technician for over 35 years bought the car from the dealership he worked in just before retiring.

The car had a broken timing belt and he had to replace 4 exhaust valves on it.
I bought the car from...

Hi All

When trying to change the DRL I’ve managed to drop the Torx bit, so I now have to remove the front bumper, does anybody have a diagram or tips?

I want to know in case of brake down how to tow C5. Couple of years ago when tow truck try to pull the car from the front he can't find any hook to attach winch. After that I found the location in the bumper and looks like it need extra piece to attach to pull. Just wondering, does it come with the car or do I have to buy it.

Hi All,
Not sure if I have a problem or not......
I don't think my air-con is working............
Heater works, turn cabin temperature up, blower gets faster, car gets warm, turn temp down, fans slow down a bit car gets cold, but not as fast as it has done!
High pressure pipe under bonnet gets cold with engine running , therefore system is full,...

Over a period of time the engine on my C5 X7 Tourer had been getting noisy, most noticeably on idle or at low speed. I had been worrying that we had a big end or crankshaft pulley issue. Looking under the bonnet when it was running I noticed that the auxilliary belt was flapping about between the alternator and AC pulleys. It turns out that the...

I have two Dispatches - one a 1.9D DW8 and one a 1.9TD XUD9. I've also had two 1.9TD XUD9 Synergie/806.

My 1.9TD Dispatch seems to run consistently hotter than the DW8 one, and I don't seem to remember the Synergie/806 running as hot as the Dispatch.

It's not hugely warmer, but it's noticeable. I was driving along the M65 with the temp gauge at...

Hi Guys,
Thinking of changing my battery for a T1.
What Cranking amps would you recomend ,Looking at 650 is thiiis enough.??.
XSARA PICASSO 2.0 HDI 2004.
Thanks in advance.

I did an oil & filter change on the C5 this morning and found the final six inches of the dipstick missing. It's doubtful whether the dipstick has been pulled out more than a couple of times since it was last replaced because of the same fault. Why do they break, and what happens to the broken end? Does it need removing from the sump? Anybody know...

Hi.

Had a breakdown in a tunnel about a week ago. (I posted the alternator belt problem couple days ago). New problems arise. The road assistance came in about 5 minutes and offered to lend me a battery booster to the nearest parking spot. They didn't warn me to not go too fast so ofcourse the hood flipped on my windscreen since it wasn't secured...

Had the van in to garage today for new driveshaft end and boot, told them about a knocking on the front suspension.
I have had the van on the jack and checked for play in ball joints, track rod ends, bearing , anti roll bar bush and drop link. Couldn't find any play at all, garage couldn't find any either, and their pry bar is much heftier than...

Hi all, I'm looking for some help.
I have a citroen c3 1.4hdi and it was running fine until I had the engine warning light come on. Had the code looked at and it was a EGR fault, car at this point kept going into limp mode and was down on power. The slightest hill would stop it dead. Changed the EGR valve and the car is no better, started to smoke...

Thought I post this here as there are still a few left.
Specifications are ACEA; C2; API; SM/CF. OE Approvals: PSA B712290 so will be fine with C5 X7 Diesels

Hi All,

Tried to order g33 coolant from Citroen today to be told it has been discontinued.

After some research a few months back G30 is very similar to G33 but if I remember correctly they cannot be mixed.

Does anyone know an alternative source for G33 ?

I'd just switched the engine off when I noticed a large puddle or browny red and steam from under the bonnet.

What are the most common places to check for to idetify the cause of a large random coolant leak?

Note: the puddle is the wrong consistency for any type of oil and the coolant reservoir is the only one that's empty, so I'm 100% satisfied...

The engine turns over.

When in gear, the engine pulls under it's usual tick-over and the car moves.

When the accelerator is depressed, there is ZERO increase in revs. The motor keeps turning over at the same speed.

Any thoughts as to how to diagnose the cause welcome from anyone who's seen this before!

Hi Guys, firstly thank you for your help so far it's really appreciated! OK, I have a 2004 1.9 C15 and have the chance of a 1996 C15 for spares will I be able to use any of it if I take it!?

I need to know the Citroen ref. numbers for the suspension spheres on my car.
I need to replace and I have found a stash of spheres, but they are only listed by their ref. numbers.

My car is a 2009 X7 Tourer 2.0 Hdi 163 fap exclusive auto.

It is quite urgent, they might get sold to someone else!

Lately I've noticed some changes in behaviour of the hydractive III+ system. Car has done 227 000km (142 000miles, say) and I have had it 3 years, adding about 20 000miles.
No real problems with suspension, but increasingly I feel there are changes happening. First, on entering the car the hydraulic pump now runs for much longer than it did. Maybe...

While waiting for recovery, I restarted the car and everything was fine for a minute, at which point the same thing happned again. Sometimes the car...
