2010 on average mileage , likely the DPF needs to topping up,

Sorry, I can't access wiring diagrams based on Vin numbers.
Are those the exact and full error code messages?
Have you cleared the fault codes first?
Have you tried a BSI reset?
Are you confident the replacement EGR is a good one. the internet tells me there's far too many dodgy ones for sale and most recommend getting a genuine replacement (Valeo...

Ooh bronze welding, thats new on me. Off for a bit of a read up, sounds exciting.

Worth noting with the Forte stuff that it's safe enough that some manufacturers use it from day one - and Valeo if memory serves state it must be used to validate the warranty of some of their heater matrices! So I wouldn't worry about using it.

Any other leak fixer is a big no-no, but the Forte stuff is decent.

Correct on both counts Zel :)

I agree with Mandrake, using the correct grade of oil and changing it regularly is essential for these HDi engines.
I have used Forte products professionally for years so recommend the stuff and this is what I would do. Pour Forte Motor Flush into the engine with the old oil and go for a good run.Change the oil AND OIL FILTER using fully synthetic...

It was last serviced in October by previous owner. It has full service history. The last 2 services are from the same garage, which does not include it's phone number on the stamp, and I can't find it on google to call and ask what was done.

We're going to take it to a mechanic this morning to see if we can find out what's wrong, as don't want to...

ANOTHER post (my reply on, I think, Sunday) just disappeared into the ether on hitting submit !

Really getting fed up with the whole thing, blog's suspended & I'm more or less in read only mode now, as a sort of 1/2-way house.

Machining is done on set programmes in pre defined atmospheres.
Every xth component will be ultra sounded to make sure that everything is ok from batch to batch.
When we made certain car parts and aircraft parts the customers would send their own technicians with scanners to check the materials and the finished parts.

Interestingly, there's a modified reservoir cap. I looked it up after reading they modified it purely due to this failure.

I'd stick pictures and a price on here.
Decent Xantias don't often hang around for long.
Shame it's a Mk2 (not my taste) or I'd be tempted as it's local and mines parked up for at least a month for repairs..

My sx did as well. Its lx and below that lack one touch on the drivers window

I will go get a quote at the local garage, apparently there a pig to get to

Maybe it's me but music or not I just can't get on with such guides on youtube...

I'm old-school. For me the only medium is paper...

I was told when i was lookinģ for these bits that saloon and estate are not the same. As it was mine werent so far gone to need replacing, well one side wasnt, the worst side cost me £350 to get welded with fabricated bits.

Rather than the Citroen dealer ask around the tyre fitting companies to see if any of them have the equipment for pairing TPMS valves. They have equipment that works on a multitude of car makes. It may be cheaper than Citroen that way.

Here in the wilderness it's hedge cutting that does it every time! The tractors cut the hedges then clear off leaving sharp stems all over the road - my last 3 punctures have been down to these idiots.

Had a puncture a couple of weeks ago on the shoulder unrepairable, couldn't really explain it as the car had been laid up for a couple of weeks...

You can click into the basket. Sometimes you need to click something else, work order or something?

Looks like my GSA at the moment!

What was the cause of this problem I have the same thing with my EXPERT Van

Defo sounds like low on gas as I had similar issues earlier this year. my local main dealer did regas for £45 same price as local independent garage. Changing pollen filter sounds like good advice too as they do get clogged. They can be a bit fiddly to fit but there's a very useful thread on this site with helpful pictures.

It is quite simple to clean the rubber membrane. Just use a mild cleaner (soapy water would do) after taking it out of the key-fob. For the contacts I would use a proper contact cleaner. If the key-fob itself is dirty I would lift out the circuit board and then give it a good clean, drying it with paper towelling.

It'd likely affect certain members opinion of your morals, based on recent discussions (although each to their own, I say) and wouldn't be great for emissions but it'd run alright & I believe regen would be unaffected since EGR is closed for this anyway.

Personally I'd want it running correctly the way it was made, and to that end would try a...

Your symptoms, fault and cure are exactly the same as the ones I had on the Xsara. I fixed them some seven years ago but the tailgate stopped opening on the button about a year ago so make a note in your perpetual diary now.

Yep, the majority of the clips are p/n 9341pf as per Lenny's eBay link. They're used in quite a few places in the C5 so it's worth getting a load in stock :)

Thanks, I've already changed the Map sensor, and put an egr cleaner spray through it, car has been smoke tested, vacuum has been tested and waste gates appear to be moving freely, trying to find a local mechanic that can get to the bottom of it as the last two have let me down.

They couldn't even tell you why they crossed the road!

Alasdair's can... Never have I met three hens with so much personality ;)

I assume that the tool simply presses on the centre shaft that the small nut is on :!: :?:

Yes, that's correct!

Thank's again Jim ... If you ever wan't to borrow it, especially after I find a center bolt, don't hesitate to ask but I still need to get transport sorted out beforehand!

Thanks Grum, that's really appreciated :D

Yes the bearing race area is fine, i did the bead of weld trick to get them out. Was thinking about welding up most of the damaged area and die grinding it enough for the seal, with maybe a bit of goo for good measure.

Ah, the Gordian Knot principle. I like it.

I must admit, on my 207 it's never been an issue. Give it a good tug with a gloved hand and it comes out a treat...

Google 'Nouziers 24 heures'. It's a 24h race with Solex machines some standard, 30mph if you're lucky, others, the super protos, hit 80!. The oil smells great, all 50cc bikes, though the super protos have a few additions. All run with the engine sitting on the front tyre

Wow :D Now that is something I would enjoy immensely ;)

There is...

All sorted, had an air leak on one of the pipes, had it replaced and used a vacuum hose. All is good again.

Haha who steals fuel 😂😂😂

I tend to use mine off-line anyway Simon. It can be a bit of a pain having to constantly close the requests for activation that might occur, but I prefer doing this until more is known about how this change may affect older versions.

I do know that the system can be deactvated if you go into a menu option accidentally, where it asks you for a...

Join citroen.service.com (anyone can), find the part number for yours, do an all models search for that part to see what other models uses that wheel, then look at the most likely models to see if any high spec variants have a leather wheel.

My old rear door was rothen so it may well be that

Ah, so the brake lights on the car are working, it's the trailer board brake lights that aren't working?

If so, first of all check with a 12v test lamp whether the socket is working properly. You'll need an assistant to press the brake pedal up and down and switch the ignition on.

Marc..RichardW ... Thanks for the operational info - I'm away on me Hols in a couple of days and on my return will investigate a possible leak on the Evap and if it helps for receipt of a Elect/Schematic my Vin No is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] ....joe

Has the battery been off at all lately? If so, I beleieve there is a relearning process for the system.

Well, the battery has been off about 700 miles ago...

lol.lol.

Glad to help and glad you got it sorted

Same here Richard - 86,000miles though I did have the max additive warning which I've since reset. What's yours reading if it's not reached max yet?

Trailing arm bushes, oh joy. Easy enough to get out, but getting the new ones in can be a right pain :(

The duff blower regulator you have is easily repaired...

It's a very common problem...

I have recorded a video, however, I am not able to upload the file to YouTube in mainland China since it is blocked by the government. Do you have WhatsApp or another program where I can provide you the video with? Thanks.
