Hi all, new to the group. I have seen one or two similar posts, but given the checks already executed, I'm not sure they apply. After starting the car and driving for a bit, I attempted to lower the fan, and the switch seemed to stick. I ultimately got it moving, but the blower now runs constantly on high. I disconnected the blower resistor...

Hello,
I have an original Citroën key and an aftermarket one for my C5 R model from 2005. My problem is that even after programming both keys, i can not syncronise the remote function.

The aftermarket one, which I got from e-bay, has been programmed and cut. I can start the engine with it, but I can not unlock the doors not mechanically (can't be...

I have a Citroen C8 2.0 HDI 2011
I just changed the front rotors, pads + accessories (and leaky CV-Boot).
The pads came with cables, and I connected them to the cable plug.
However, when driving, I intermittently get the pads worn alert.

Did I make something wrong maybe?

Or do I just need to reset something somewhere in the car?

Thanks!...

Hi all..

So.. Who can answer this... After getting the wiring diagrams etc I set out looking while sitting.. At the wireing to see why there's no life from the cooling fan..

Spent 2.5 hours checking every wire from the three relays and every single wire checked out with continuity.. No shorts.. No corrosion.. Everything checks out.. So checking...

I have recently purchased a 2008 C3 1.6 with an automatic gearbox. The car has done 56k miles. Every so often when moving off from stationary the car will jolt and it seems the gearbox is sticking a bit before engaging the gear. It also doesn't change gears until about 4k - 4.5k revs (not sure if that is normal), in sports mode it doesn't change...

Hello, I own an C4 Picasso from 2011 with climatronic and i have the following problem:

1. AC works only from time to time, usually when i start the car from aprox 10 secs and then later when radiator fan kicks in.
2. Interior blower the same, zones don't work, blower speed doesn't work.

On diagbox i have no errors, ac compressor is new,...

Hello all ,

I bought a 2012 Citroen C8 from a used car guy 2 weeks ago - with 1 year/20000kms warranty here in Switzerland. We drove it 2500 kms to my wife's parents in the Czech republic and back. The morning after the overnight stop in Munich on the way back I couldnt engage reverse at all and over the next 400kms the gear engaging became...

We all add antifreeze for the colder months, with the way the climate is changing is there an antiboil for these 30degree heats that we are experiencing?

Ok, this is a really stupid question and I have a feeling I'm going to regret asking, but... Would Johnny Foreigner :lol: have been so sneaky as to wire the gearbox Communication system through the headlamps??

BSI errors all pertaining to lighting not working... That's because its not connected. The headlamps are still in the boot :-D

But I'm...

I understand that the stickers stick to the inside of the windows. I have blacked out windows on the rear, is there an option for a bumper sticker?

HI, I have a year 2000 Xantia HDi with what I believe to be a common but rather complex problem: the heater blower works intermittently, shutting off for days at a time, and then coming back on. I know little about auto electrics, and don't understand a lot of what's on other threads. I would be most grateful for any advice!
Thanks,
Stewart

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,

The engine management light popped on today for a couple of trips and then didn't reappear.

My OBD11 scanner is showing P0203 which I think is injector 3.

It does hunt a bit sometimes on overrun - going downhill on a light throttle. But always to some extent has when it's due a service.

I'm guessing it's just what the code says -...

I'm going to buy a flaring tool for replacing a couple of brake lines on my 2003 Relay. Does anyone know what type of flare it has, DIN or SAE? Cheers.

Would someone mind posting, please, whatever temperature sensors control the engine cooling fan on a C6, 3.0 petrol? Plus, where it is located?

Mine warned me it was rather hot today when idling and I noticed that the fan(s?) weren’t running.

VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
also any chance of the build sheet on this? I’d like to know when it actually...

Hi guys, new to the forum. Hopefully someone might be able to point me in the right direction or provide an answer.

Basically I have an 09 Nemo Multispace. I've just fitted the two front seats from the van version of the nemo. (I wanted the folding seat but wanted the cheapness of the Multispace road tax)

The original seats both had airbags in...

Hello, My aircon system has had a recent recharge. The issues are:

1) After a cold start, the pump clutch disengages by itself after about 30 secs to one minute of operation.
2) The engine cooling fan does not operate when the aircon is switched ON (should it??). And if it should, where is the relay that powers the fan?
3) Have checked all the...

Hi, its my first post here as I'm at a loss of what to do.

So I got a Citroen c4 b7 2012 petrol and the Ac wasn't working since I got it and water pump for window washers wasn't working aswell.
First mechanic that checked it saw that the Engine fuse box has water residue and that the compressor is not engaging because its not getting enough...

Hello guys

i bought older C5 X7 Tourer from 2013 that has a parking camera - all works well however it seems that there is a water in protective plastic / glass case that i need to clean up.
Video is very blurry. I tried to find some guide how to disassemble it but could not. Do you know how to remove camera case so i can clean it ?

thank you

My temperature gauge keeps dropping any help or ideas why I've recently changed thermostat and temperature sensor because engine was over heating turned out it was the cooling fan at fault but now temperature gauge keeps dropping put old sensor back in its stays at normal temperature but fan won't kick in put new sensor on fan works but temp gauge...

Hi,

I have a 2015 Citroen relay panel van (35 heavy L4H2 eprise hdi) and the problem is the central locking has stopped working on the key fob, button on the driver door and the...

My X7 tourer's rear doors creak more than my knees do on a cold, damp day! :shock: I've lubricated the hinges, many times, but to no avail - the noise is awful, and its LOUD!! Am I missing something, is there a hidden part that needs greasing??! Its driving me barmy! :evil:

Must be vibration query day!

C8 2.0Hdi 110bhp auto 2004 model, engine vibrates noticeably at tickover speed in neutral (around 850RPM). If I increase revs to 1000 it magically smooths right out. Always had a slight vibration there (owned car 4 months, done about 1000 miles myself, 80000 on clock), but has worsened in last 300 miles)

Can one of...

Hi
This might have been asked before but I can not find it.

I have a 2016 C4 Picasso Diesel, this started yesterday.
If my air con is on the fan will run full speed, even though the auto button is illuminated so there is no control. If I turn the engine off the fan continues to run and the car will not lock, if I press the minus button for fan...

Morning :)

So I have a C4 Picasso 2010, it left the factory with Michelin Primacy tyres on, was going to have them put back on this week as factory tyres surely the way to go, was just about to book into National Tyres for Thursday but noticed some Goodyear ones that look very similar and have the same rating for noise, economy and wet grip,...

I have a 58 plate Citroen Relay. Started life with the fire service (good service history), my mate bought it after a repaired collision, and so it came to me

Approx 5 years ago I got the ECU remapped, better MPG and performance, money well spent........

During lockdown it began throwing up a myriad of spurious faults- not unlocking with the...

Good afternoon gentlemen,

C5 2003 2 ltr petrol estate

I am after some information to make my life easier, as messing with the car is less fun as I grow older : )

The Digibox / Lexa comes up with the attached, for an ABS fault that shows on the in car display.

I read it could be the cable, the sensor, or the magnetic disc that is part of the...

Hi guys,

My C5 2013, 2.0HDI 138PS with 328.000km have a strange problem. In 4,5,6 th gear during acceleration some noticable vibrations raise up in very very narrow range of RPM. Just from around 2400 to 2600RPM. I suspected DMF but symptoms are totaly different that what is known to me from my previuse C5 where DMF did fail. Any idea what that...

I've bought a Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6HDI 92cv and I've recently discovered that the left headlight was replaced by a english one, so I need to replace this headlight for the ref. 6208N5. Can some please help with the instruction to replace the headlight?
Thank you.

Hi guys, changed the discs and pads on my Citroen c5 x7 front went fine back too until I forgot to replace the electric handbrake cable back in place and it retracted and I can’t get it down to reattach it. Opened the EPB with heatgun all is fine inside nothing broke. Just can’t figure out which way to turn to loosen the cable so I can reattach...

Do we know anything else about ?

Hi guys,
Any advice welcome. I had a new battery fitted and now i have a problem. The car started fine when i picked it up but after parking it overnight it opens fine but nothing at all when you press the starter button. Keep pressing multiple times and eventually it will fire. After that it works as it should until left for 8 hours or longer....

My friend's car has this weird rear end shift whenever the car hits undulations. It is not just annoying, but slightly dangerous as you need to correct all the time. Suggestion here in Aussie is that it needs a rear wheel alignment. Any suggestions from May land . It is an Exclusive petrol, not that this specification is relevant (probably)....

I have searched for this problem, nothing posted really helping..

C4 1.6dci 2014. Heater blower inoperative.

I have stripped out glove box, nothing obviously wrong - fan is behind central console (not behind glove box). Cabling and plugs look ok.

No mention in manual of which fuse covers the blower, google searches give loads of different fuse...

Good evening Gentleman,

I have had a good read through the forum regarding trailer lights wiring, but could not find an answer to my question.

C5 2003 petrol estate, the car is fitted with a 7 pin in line socket, the trailer we have just obtained has the more normal round connector.

I have sorted the mounting of the new socket and the colour...

i now have a completely new issue i'm almost convinced is the gearbox

Are these available anywhere?

Need to do the outer sill for the mot and noticed the inner behind it looks like its been keeping the titanic company, I've got the outer sill but can't find the inner anywhere, the picasso is still a popular car and give the sills always rust I'd have thought they'd have been easy to source...... I was wrong

OK guys my one bit of advice for Pic owners...

After being convinced my sloppy gearchange was down to cable stretch, I replaced them and still no better off. More investigation with them unattached at the gear lever end showed to me that there seemed rather a lot of play in the actual shifter bearings, so I ordered a new mechanism ( a story for...

Hi All,

I have a 2014 C3 Picasso 1.6 Diesel

I had a flat battery this morning and ordered myself a new one from halfords (they show up HSB013 as the recommended one for the car given the number plate)

This is a 60Ah CCA of 640A which matches the battery spec in my car

However i noticed that the battery in the car is a EF type (which i thought...

Hello there, some little context here (you can skip to the next paragraph). My 12 years-old battery finally died on me while I was parked in a ramp facing down so there was no way I could jump-start the car from someone else's car. So I had to push it a bit backwards upohill with a neighbour and asked him if he could push start it as I never did...

Okay, to make the story short. This black marked part broke on my car and it's now just a hole.
Can someone help me identify the part, is it even possible to replace it somehow?
I was having a standard problem where cold air is blowing from the left side

Should I look to replace the whole heater housing or not?
I would appreciate any kind of...

Hi All,

I love my C5 x7, but it's not ULEZ compliant and it's getting on a bit (150k miles now), so I'm thinking about what to have next - but I've not had a cart-sprung car as my main car for decades (C5x7, CX, C6, C5, XM, XM, Xantia, BX, GSA, *Renault 5*!)

So, do I stump up the *crazy* money for one of the ULEZ complaint C5s that...

So I'm considering buying a brand new Citroen C3. Where I live the dealer provides a 5 year guarantee. Despite loving the look and feel of the car, I keep on reading about reliability issues. Any thoughts on this?

Hi Everyone

I have Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2010 Diesel and I have called the Citroen dealer and given them my VIN number and asked if they can tell me what model engine is in my car but they didn't know, i find this hard to believe.

I called Citroen the manufacture and i am still waiting to hear back from them.

Can anyone tell me how do i...

Hi

I have a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2010 Diesel

It is making a strange noise when accelerating or revving the engine, there is no fault lights and apart from the noise the car appears to working fine.

Hi.

I have a problem with my 2007 C4 Picasso 2.0 HDI automatic. When I put the key into ignition and move to accesories position, the car asks to press brake as if I was turning the key to start position. When in this situation I press brake, the car starts but the gearbox does not change gears.

The problem matches with the fact that the...
