Improved feature for unsubscribing from email notifications

First post

As part of the work being done to improve the deliverability of emails, I have made some changes to the system for unsubscribing from email notifications.

These changes are to ensure stricter compliance with RFC2369 and RFC8058 (which are the internet standards for such things), there are also some additions for Microsoft-specific rules which are...

First post

We cannot currently deliver notification or registration emails to users with @outlook.com an @hotmail.com email addresses.

This is due to Microsoft having designated our server as being a junk mail source, apparently because some users have been moving our notification emails to their 'junk' folders.

There appears to be nothing that we can do...

Finally, after a month of sending repeated support requests to Microsoft, and spending quite a bit of time researching and rewriting some of the forum software to be more RFC compliant, we have been advised that Microsoft are no longer blocking our emails.

Note that in the meantime, to reduce the quantity of bounced emails, we have adjusted the...

Hi to all,

In my car two or three days now, I have a suspension problem. The car goes completely down to the front side and when I unlock, or sit to on the drivers seat, it delays to rise at front, about 6-8 seconds. In the motorway everything seems to be ok, but in small speeds, the front goes down and the front suspension is bouncing from time...

Last post

The cost was 60 euros the cylinder and 70 euros the work. Also I had a thermostat replaced and a pipe that goes to the cabin (or comes from the cabin) with the small cap on it. These for 100 euros. The pipe was expensive (90 euros) and I couldn't find a used one. No they didn't replace the strut, only the whole cylinder.

Not just the earth return. The standard overcentre terminal clamps have a habit of losing their strength of grip. Cutting them off and replacing them with proper bolt and nut clamps can sometimes sort a problem out.

Can anyone tell me the difference between power steering pressure switches 4015.08 and 4015.09?

I presume that the different colour switches have different operating pressures.

The switch in question has nothing to do with the transmission or suspension, they were also fitted to cars with manual transmission, and to other PSA models with different engines and transmissions.

Recommissioning laid-up cars

by handyman » 07 Nov 2016, 08:08

First post

Hullo All, not been on here for a while.

Did a search to see what info was available about starting a car after a two year lay up, but without success.

I'm going to start a petrol Xantia that has been laid up for a while and I'm concerned about whether the cambelt might not be in a fit state, given the length of time the car has stood. I will do...

Last post

Thanks all for your learned replies. Looks like I'll be busy over the weekend. The car was regularly serviced prior to being laid up & not due a cambelt change at the time, so I'll be lifting a cover & giving the belt a thorough visual before starting.

By the way, it looks to be just as cheap to hire a recovery lorry for £90, all in, per day, as...

Hi I have the e-hdi 1.6 2011 c5 and was wondering if it would be poss. to switch off the stop start system permanently . Not used to it and don't like it .

Last post

Just got a year old C4 Picasso Blue Hdi, never had stop start before. it was weird the first couple of times but I just let it do its thing now, restart is just about instant.

Going through a city the other day, no jams but lots of stop start traffic, I saw total engine stop time 4 minutes in 20, fuel savings might be minimal but that's 4 minutes...

Replacing Xantia S2 front control arm bushes?

by HDI » 09 Nov 2016, 17:30

First post

The MOT today threw up slightly worn front control arm bushes as an advisory. So, I have a pair of front control arms with completely shot bushes, which I removed from another Xantia. What is involved in fitting new bushes? I recall the rear bushes(anti roll bar end) were tricky for some reason.

Timmo, an excellent link.. Thanks for digging that one out :D

C2 Lexia fun!

by kitchD6C » 08 Nov 2016, 19:32

First post

A mate over the road has asked if I can figure out what's wrong with the C2 By Loeb he's just bought. Central locking doesn't work, by key or fob, and the engine won't crank. Battery has been flat for ages in the past we're told.

Have had it on Lexia, and the central locking etc can be operated on there. Engine will crank with 12v direct to...

Last post

Does this C2 have the flappy paddle controls for the gears - if so, the system needs to be reinitialised after a flat battery or battery change. Turn ignition on, and hold foot on the brake pedal for 30 seconds.

ABS TOOTHED DRIVESHAFT RING ON XANTIA?

by HDI » 08 Nov 2016, 16:42

First post

The offside ABS toothed ring on the offside front drive shaft on my Xantia HDI 90 has split and sprung apart, leaving a gap. So the ABS thinks there is wheel slip and keeps kicking in.
Has anyone ever changed one of these, if so what is involved. It looks like it would be an interference sliding fit. The rings are available on ebay.

Last post

Easier and cheaper than swapping a whole driveshaft though James and then there's the fun and satisfaction of doing it. After all, it's not often you use a cooker for car repairs ;)

Hi Leaned ones.

I throw myself on the mercy of the Forum, I am registered with Service Citroen, can log in but cannot get to Part Numbers or even get to select car. Three days trying Grrrrrrrr.

After taking associated pieces of metal of the drive train and replacing them I now have a lovely drive train, that was until very recently. Now the diff...

Last post

Thanks for that, they list a bearing kit that includes the two diff bearings. I'll ring them in the morning.

I also found (long search) They list both bearings by Citroen part No. individually. They might be worth making a note of for hard to come by parts.

Mystery coolant leak, please make it go away!

I bought my old 2.2HDi Turbo with a slow coolant leak. I found that one of the bottom corners of the rad was corroded - and replaced it with a new one.

Thought I'd fixed it, then found that there's ALSO a major trickle of water that runs down the back of the engine block!

It comes from somewhere up high around the cylinder head area, but it's...

egs6 clutch

First post

i have a lexia how do I set the clutch on a c5 x7 citroen with the egs6 gear box????

Last post

What are you trying to do?

You can bleed the clutch if the slave cylinder has been replaced, and then you can re-program the gearbox actuator. I think if you just want to set/adjust the biting point, then you just take it and accelerate hard from a standstill a few times.

Fuel pump

by Taximan » 07 Nov 2016, 15:26

Can anyone tell me if they have had an issue with there fuel pump in the tank like mine.

My car seems to struggle to drive like all 4 brake calipers are stuck on when a have more than a 1/4 of a tank of deisel in but anything under a 1/4 of a tank she flys along like there's no stopping her.

So am wondering could it be the fuel pump in the tank...

Last post

Thanks for the reply

It has got a pump in the tank.

You could be right about the front calipers but need descent weather to remove and clean.

As for as the rear sensor goes a don't have a clue about would a need diagnostics to tell me about the over wait sensor.

Dipstick part no

by Criox » 04 Nov 2016, 15:42

First post

Hello friends
Im looking for a part number for dipstick ( Oil measurement ).

I tried to look online but there are different info on few shop websites.

The Car is Citroen C5 2010 2.0 VTR HDI (Diesel) DW10CTED4

The reason that Im asking is that mine broke just when metal piece connects with plastic.

Thank you in advance.

Last post

Read this week that, during the Nazi occupation of France, both Renault and Peugeot were obliged to provide new trucks for the occupiers, for use inside France and elsewhere. One of the tactics employed was to subtly sabotage the vehicles by placing the dipstick level notches too far down. Many vehicles seized and ground to a halt, including a...

2.0hdi starter motor

I need to replace the starter motor on my 2003 Peugeot/Berlingo 2.0hdi. Can anyone advise is a Valeo D8R28 2.5kw motor can replace the existing Mitsubishi M001T80481 1.7 kW.

Last post

Hi,
Noticed you had not received a reply re the starter, if you look on ebay seller is midlandcs (11382) they are in Wolverhampton and appear to have a good range of starters.

Have purchased a starter same as your requirement from them, possibly not the cheapest but happy with item and delivery UK to Australia in 6 days from memory.
