Hi,
I receantly found this code stored in my ecu, and it's impossible to erase. It's about injector correction. Now, before i start to dissasamble everything, I'm interested did somebody have had experience with this failure. Car works normaly, i didnt noticed something different. Codes are pulled out with diagbox, and the car is c5 x7 2.0. Hdi...

Because of course it is.

I've been grappling with a poor-running Berlingo for a little while now, and I've got most of the way to the problem, but have a few questions I'm hoping you can help with.

Symptoms
Rough idle, especially from cold.
More white smoke than I would expect.
Strong diesel smell at idle.
Classic injector rattle under load from...

Still trying to sort out the strangeness on this C3P.
Diagbox is showing this, but there is no intelligent module in the drivers door. Just the mirror/lock switch module which is completely passive.
The hands free works via the Bluetooth.
Has the BSI been configured to think that there's equipment fitted that isn't?

Forgot to post this yesterday, oh well..

I struggle to pull off on steep hills in my C8 when cold. If I rev up to 1500 and bring clutch in I'll get a few metres and it'll stall unless I rev more and launch which isn't particularly good for the clutch.

It's a 2.2. I've tried blanking the egr and disconnecting and blocking the vac line.
I've...

Hi all!

Another day, another issue. :roll:

The old pump started making strange noises, so I changed it with a good used one - first mistake.
I didn't notice it was from the older model, and it had a different ECU, so there was no communication with the solenoids.
I changed the ECU with the one from the old pump and everything came back to life,...

Hi, after a bit of a steer please and some real wiring diagrams and any data to help my diagnostics. I'm an ex-tech scratching his head ATM.

My Mrs C4 VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] has developed an ABS, ECM, EPB, ESP fault, which I suspect may fall onto the ABS module, but lets see what you can give.

The bit that's nagging at me the most is actually not...

I'm trying to remove my air box in my C4 Picasso 2017 Flair.

The rubber grommets have become worn and the air box vibrates when at low revs.
I've easily changed the 2 front rubber grommets as they're right at the front (the 2 ball points that the engine cover clips on to).

I need to remove the air box completely to access the two rubber grommets...

Hi all,

I think I am on my own here. Not many of you will have tried to use hydractive strut tops with a handmade adapter.

I have an issue with LHM now leaking past the larger diameter M16 threads on the S1 and I need to get the car MOT'd ASAP and out of my mate's compound. He's been more than patient.

I am waiting on Edhertz to measure up his...

Hi guys I need to place the offside front suspension as its leaking. I've watched a few views on YouTube and it doesn't seem that hard however I know you have to drop the suspension to lowest setting and then remove the sphere. On refitting do I just bolt the sphere back on and its all good to go? Do I have to pressure the system or just top up,...

I am having to scrap my 52 plate Picasso sx 2.0 hdi so have removed the towbar (dealer fitted, metal work seems sound). Does anyone happen to know if it will fit my 08 plate Picasso desire 1.6 hdi, before I start a second wrestling match! Many thanks

Over the last week the wipers have lost full speed started juddering back and forth the moment the car is unlocked and eventually just stopped working. After a bit of reading on this forum I found a short post where someone described the exact problem and one follow up post of check the relay but no further information. Can anyone help me locate...

Hi all.....I know the correct tyre size for my 2010 X7 2.0 HDi 163 is 225/55/r17 but I have been offered a set of 5 brand new 225/50/r17 Avons for a ridiculous price from a tyre place that has just been bought out.....can I fit them or am I in for a world of pain if I do? Thanks for your advice everyone!

What is the difference between the 02.2013 and 09.2013 1.6 Blue HDI/ HDI (115 PS 85kw) build of the C4 Grand Picasso and how do I find out which one mine is, and does it matter when ordering parts?

Hi. I recently returned from 3 weeks away to an unhappy old car (52 plate). Using the door lock did not activate the central locking (first clue). Also not working were the dashboard display (apart from the 2 orange lights which still came on for a short time as normal), the wipers, the e/windows, the indicators, and several other bits. The main...

Been driving the C4 for two weeks now, and struggling with foot placement on the clutch pedal. I keep catching the “foot rest” to the left, or the brake pedal to the right, more so when braking at the same time. It’s never taken me this long to get used to a car before. Anyone else had the same problem? Any advice?

Hi guys,

Thinking of getting a C15 van diesel. My Grandad had one and always remember it being very reliable and spacious in the back. Plus it was the first vehicle I was driving after passing my test for about 1 year!!

My question is will they run on veg oil? I have only seen Lucas pumps. Is there any on the XUD7 or DW8?? Or is it possible to...

Hi.
I have a semi auto. When I pull away it makes a loud rubbing sound that sounds like it’s coming for the left of the car. There is nothing on the wheel arch or driveshaft. One mechanic said it is coming from the gearbox. Has anyone encountered a problem like this.

I have a Citroen C2 that has dead central locking and no signs of life other than a single beep when I reconnect the battery.
All the electrics are dead, no dashboard display, no lights, etc. so checked the battery and that is fine (it reads 13v).

I've checked that although the electrics are dead, there is power getting through to the main fuse....

Recently my ZX's C/L has been going a bit mad. When unlocking the door from the drivers side, and after a few seconds, the central locking will repeatedly lock and unlock the rear drivers side door and boot, about ten times before stopping in the unlocked position. When locking, the central locking does not work and I need to go around and...

Chaps, Lh Rr indicator has packed up. I changed a brake light bulb the other day so presumed I'd knocked the bulb, Changed it, no change. Checked with a multimeter from the rear socket on the light cluster to the +ve bulb contact for continuity, all fine. Checked the indicator feed wire on the plug with a multimeter and a bike indicator, sod all....

Hello, wondering if anyone can help, I have a Citroen c4 grand Picasso 1.6 bluehdi with the faults P16A7 - control of the crankcase fumes heater and P2047 - control of the urea injector.
I’ve measured the resistance of the urea injector and is ok, I’ve chased the wiring back to the ecu and that all looks ok and buzzes out to the ecu plug but I...

The French Activa club have arranged the manufacture of new front suspension mounts (strut tops) for most variants of Xantia. The price is a very reasonable €210 per PAIR (maybe that is on top of the €80 deposit), but they will only be available in 5 months time with an €80 deposit payable now. See:

Here is the content of their email to...

Hey all,

Been lurking for a while but I've joined the fold as I could really do with some kind persons help.

My 2010 1.6 hdi c3 Picasso I've recently bought has a nasty habit of cutting out. Anti pollution fault message flashes up.

I've searched and searched the forum and have followed many leads but drawn a blank.

I bought a code reader and...

I have a Citroen C4 Picasso 2017 (5 door) with an Ad-Blue tank.

I've owned the car for 12 months and only done about 8000 miles since I've owned (currently 56,000 odometer)

Iv never had a Ad-Blue car before, and I've not yet had to top up this one. I've not yet had any countdown warnings on the dashboard.

I'm preparing myself for doing it...

Hi all,
my o/h has bought a 2012 C3 Picasso 1.6HDi (90hp) VTR+ and... there is a central locking issue.
All doors except the rear left lock (and make a noise) when the fob is pushed but that door is still openable from the outside and inside.
If the 'deadlock' is engaged then the door does make a noise but is still openable from the outside only....

Another question about swapping components from old car to new car!
I am having to scrap my 52 plate Picasso sx 2.0 hdi so can remove the battery (YUASA) to put in the new one (currently Halfords which is regularly going into economy mode). Does anyone happen to know if it will fit my 08 plate Picasso desire 1.6 hdi? Can’t find anything specific...

Hi,
I've got a C3 Picasso. It's a 2009 exclusive model, and as far as I'm aware, it should be fitted with a fold flat front passenger seat.

The front passenger seat has the correct handle/lever, top left, which is connected to a cable which seems to run to the bottom right seat hinge. The cable pulls, but the part that it pulls won't move. I'm...

Hello gentlemen,
I just bought my first C5 X7, a 2.2HDI tourer and I am very pleased with it.

But there is one problem. The back seems to stay lower than it should - looking at the distance between the tire and the fender in the front vs back, the difference is 2 fingers.

I went through and did calibration described by DiagBox, measuring H1M R1...

Hi everyone,

Hi got a 2013 citroen berlingo van b9 1.6d my rear door on the right has a broken cable at the bottom anyone know what cable I should buy thanks

Regular readers might remember my fun with injectors a few weeks back -

Well, in the words of the great Roy Walker - it's good, but it's not right.

Still gives the occasional miss on idle, and still not briilliant at low rpm or light throttle. It's vastly improved, but not quite there. As a diagnostic step only, I fitted an EGR blank, which if...

hello everyone, I have a problem with the roof and rear doors on my Citroen C3 Pluriel 2008. It was bought with a roof that didn't work, the brackets were a problem. In order to somehow solve it, I bought a complete roof with windows, rear window and brackets from a car that was for parts, but the roof worked for it, as I tested. The installation...

My 1993 Xantia with just 38k on its 1.9 XUD diesel, normally aspirated, a green one needs help. I'm hoping to either buy another one with broken mechanicals, but excellent bodywork. Or failing this, invest around £600 in a concours respray. Lifelong connections in the motor trade will make this happen. 12 months ago, in a moment of madness, I came...

Hi everyone,

Due to pressures of work, it's been a while since I visited, so maybe that's why the C5 X7 Exclusive Tourer decided to give me a reason.
Driving along the other day and the wipers wouldn't come on.....Then they did!
Yesterday, no wipers at all, but the headlights came on, which suggested the wiper switch was sending something to the...

The thermometer on my wife's 2014 C4 Millenium has gone mad showing anything from -2 to 6 deg this afternoon when it's actually about 12 deg.
I'm assuming the sensor is in the mirror.
Any ideas what's causing this?

Can anyone tell me if this the correct coolant for my car?

Can someone please tell me the difference between “My Citroen Play” and “My Citroen Drive” and how do I know which one I have?

My lovely 38k n/a Xantia diesel went into 'storage' the week before COVID19.

Hello, I was hoping someone could help identify the replacement seal I need which has become perished. I have attached 2 photos from the engine of my Xsara Picasso Diesel (110bhp, 57 reg). It appears to fit under an inlet pipe (sorry for the none technical description). I just need to know what I need to order. If anyone can advise, that would be...

After removing the satnav box I can continue hunting down the indicator fault. Howver, to remove the BSI cover I have to unplug 2 plugs. The small white one and the one underneath it. I don't want to force anything, how do they unplug? It looks like there is a little tang on the underside but doesn't seem to do anything.
