French Car Forum

Hi.

I just got a 1994 S1 with what I thought was a blown dipped light bulb on the driver's side - all is well with the passenger side and other lights (incl. indicator and dims)

I changed the bulb, tried to re connect the wires, and even reconnected the main wiring loom after blowing some air thru- connector but to no avail

Any tips will be...

Hi All
Silly question i guess but not having access to my C4 tonight i have been informed the n/s dipped headlight has blown and it now also has the service light on with check dipped headlight warning i have been informed by the good lady.
So question is what type of bulb do i need, and is it a nice and simple replacement [-o<
Vin is in my sig...

My 2014 Citroen C4 Picasso Excl Airdream E-HDI with 140,000 miles on the clock is having problems starting. It's been with my mechanics for the past 2 months. Once started, it's running like a dream, but I'm having to use the prime pump to get her to...

Good morning all, new to the forum, 1st post. Hope you are all well.

As in the title, is battery replacement, in a 2015 Grand C4 Picasso 2.0 HDi, a DIY job?

I'm currently looking at an AGM 096 start stop battery and I've found a video of removal and found the forum posts on reconnection but is it too difficult for someone with no mechanical...

Hey Guys,

Anyone know how to disable the audible seat belt alarm in a C4 Grand Picasso 08 ? I think the visual one is enough :/

Thanks

Hi all

I have a 2008 Citroen Dispatch van 1.6HDI

It has recently developed a fault

When the vehicle is warm and has been driven for 10-15 minutes, when underload (pulling out of a junction or accelerating) the engine light comes on, looses all throttle, the engine starts to knock, smoke heavily, (it occasionally revs itself), then cuts out.
The...

HI all

I am new to this forum and there are thousands of requests and I'm sure my problem has been covered already but here goes.

I have a 2010 c4 Grand Picasso

My heater takes forever to heat up and when it does it will blow through all heat ranges for a few minutes and cool down again, almost as if there is a reservoir of hot air and it has...

Hi folks, could somebody tell me what the differences are between the Lucas DWLP11 and the DWLP12 pumps besides the obvious advance system? I have tried fitting the earlier mechanical advance pump (DWLP11) to and engine which runs just fine (on tickover) on the later pump, no engine issues(i.e timing, compression, glow plugs or feed, starter etc),...

Hi all, had a search, but it's highly likely I'm asking it wrong :roll:

I tried using the laptop to re-set the clutch, but it didn't seem to have the section I needed (truth being, I don't fully understand the options...).

Wife's 2007 C4 (93,000 miles) was playing funny bu99ers and would start, jump forward in gear then stall. It stopped during...

Hi Guys,

hi all.. my 2009 c5 x7 has the auto dim mirrors but only the drivers side mirror dims now. is there a fix/mod/bodge for them, or is it a case of replacing them with new ones..

cheers

Al.

Hi all, I need to replace the front brake hose on the X7 because the hose ends and banjo bolts are so corroded that you can't even identify them. I need to find replacement banjo bolts for the new hoses because I don't think you get new banjos with the hoses.
Does anyone know the size/thread and length of these banjos? Or if there is a part...

I have a Citroen C5 mk1 exclusive estate wagon 2001 with no sunroof. =D>

It has a weird steaming/frosting problem. The windows of the car start to steam when you start driving. Sometimes the steam appears immidietly after starting the car.

When idling stationary the steam starts to disappear, but comes back as soon as you start to drive. I have...

Hi all, I have a new CV joint to go on the Xantia. It's a new pattern part and everything looks identical except the ABS ring. Comparing to the old CV joint you can see the ABS teeth are like double the size:

Citroen c5, 2,2 2014. 271300km. Hi all, where can I find electrical specifications on the 5 pins, on a Air Throttle Body 2,2 HDI 9656932580 Citroen Peugeot in order to check if this one is out of specifications or if it is working allright before I pry open the thing. The throttle is making funny noises and the engine cuts out intermittent. The...

Hi all,
I've an x7 with heated seats. Problem is the missus often forgets to turn hers off and as I also do quite alot of solo driving i dont want the heating elements to burn out. Solution is to fit some kind of warning light onto the dash as a visual clue that they are on. the switch has 3 wires (grey, yellow and green) I thought i could simply...

My son-in-law was helping a neighbour with his C4. The wipers were misbehaving whereby when he unlocked the car with his remote they would start wiping back and forth and wouldn't stop until he put the key into ignition. Further to that if you switched the wipers on in the car they would only operate for about 4 or 5 sweeps. The wipers would stop...

I'm looking for the bushing at the end of the suspension strut. It doesn't have a part no in the pic.

I'm sure Dealer prices are mad.

It looks like a hand job -

but how do you tighten the bolts with the suspension at normal height? Would having the front of the car on ramps work?

Also where can I get the shaft sleeve for a leaking steering...

Hi to all,

I know that this may be a crazy question, but I ask seriously.

I am planning to buy a 2011 C5 X7 (1.6 thp), because mine (2006 2.0i exclusive) wants some costly repairs (and has almost 370.000 klms on board). The car I found doesn't have tyre pressure sensors. Is it easy to fit tyre pressure sensors to this car and if yes, will this...

Hi guys, first ever Citroen, well first ever french car tbh. I really like it, everything works except the airbag light is on the dash and the airbag pretensioner warning has come on, I need this diagnosed for the warranty company but worried they won't pay out and I'll be left short paying £100s for the diagnosis. Has anyone got a Lexia I could...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me find the correct part number for a steering rack for my vehicle, someone has fitted a second hand one on the vehicle however it is coming up with a power steering control unit failure.

Are these just plug and play or need coding, a brand new unit is working out...

Hello,

Since the cold weather started I have some issues with my C5 2.0 HDI from 2003. If I let it idle in the cold, with the windshield defroster running on full power and rear window heater + mirror turned on plus headlights turned on (auto ligths), the charging indicator will show low charge and the measured voltage is 12.8v. If I rev the...

Can anyone shed any light on my EGR issue?

The MIL light came on indicating EGR during a trip in Spain. It went out but when I got back to the UK I replaced the EGR valve as a precaution. It then developed a hot low speed misfire! I sent it to the local garage who then replaced it again and still the same issue but not quite so pronounced. There...

Hi, My handbrake!! One of the cables became detached from a caliper and on taking up the slack, my actuator has become stuck tight.
Hopefully it should be a case of giving it a hand as the motor doesn't have the torque to do it.

Does the brass outer spin like a nut to wind the cable in and out?

Hello All,
For the last 3 or so months of the cold weather I have noticed a strange phenomena with my heating. I'm having no problem with it as I write and rarely am I able to stand it on full heat but I notice that when I slow down, say to negotiate a left hand turn at a junction where theres no need to stop, the heating noticeably cools for 3 or...

Failed MOT because of emissions (0.5 cutoff, 1.2 measured with engine temp at 85C). Had new diesel filter fitted last month and using additive in every tank so expected everything to be fine as engine running fine and 90% of the time the C5 is on the motorway. Any point cleaning the EGR?

I have a 2003 1.8 petrol Citroen xsara picasso. Recently i have been having a few problems starting the engine. When i turned the key all the dash lights would come on but when i turned the key to start it, all i would get is a click. Try it again and it would start instantly. Turn the engine off and try it again and it would start instantly. But...

Hi

Can someone explain why the code P1352 Fault Pre Post heating relay is always present and is there a cure, Read a few posts and appears to be a common fault but it can't have rolled off the production line with it.

Not sure on the UK MOT rules but here in France they read OBD Codes as part of the test and it goes down as a minor fault,

I...

Hi

I pulled off two non specific codes UI601 and UI700 that state CAN communication fault and it looks like this is the body control module not communicating with the airbag system. I think the fuse box in the dashboard where the EOBD socket is located is also the Body control module. Is that so?

My idea is to remove this module and send it for...

Hi Experts. Have ongoing prob with 2012 Relay. 2.2 Ford engine 130bhp. 55000miles

Hello there. First of all, I apologize for my bad English. I have a radiator fan problem in my vehicle. The fan does not operate when it reaches 90 degrees. When it is 100 degrees, all the overheating lights on the console are lit and a warning sound is heard. That's not always the case. Sometimes it works. When it works, it works at fast speed. I...

Can I swap a set of wheels with tire pressure sensors between two cars and get them to connect to the new car?
How long does it take for the sensor to enter sleep mode and how do I wake a wheel out of sleep mode?

Hi all just got a dispatch combi 2.0 hdi and going though it before istart to use it and going to service it next weekend has this got the filter on the turbo oil feed like the 1.6 many thanks rick

I wonder if there are any markings on a timing belt which may indicate the month of manufacture of it. If one turned over the engine on 1.2l Puretech and peered down through the oil filler cap aperture the markings would be clearly seen.

Hello All,

I believe my RFJEW10 engine has petrol injectors and wondered if these ever need coding if replaced and if so could I do it using my Lexia ?.

Evening,

I replaced the battery on my C4 Picasso yesterday after a warning on the dash was saying electrical circuit fault have vehicle repaired and the app was saying faulty battery.

I put the new battery on the car and followed the BSI reset details but the car is still showing the same fault code and now the alarm is sounding when I lock it....

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to buy a small van and just went to see a 2011 Citroen Berlingo today. It mostly seemed good (my budget's not big (£3k) so it's got a fair few miles on the clock and I know I'll be taking a risk with whatever I buy due to age and mileage). The dealer seemed honourable and like he knew what he was talking about. It drives...

I get a nottification that my right front tyre isn't inflated enough and I don't even have the transmitter module on any tyre. I know whitch fuse it is , should I just take the fuse out?

Sigh. 1.1 petrol, 1994. Red warning light came on. Got recovered home. Took thermostat out (it’s a bit slow but does open) and ran engine without it, got up to temperature but radiator fan didn’t cut in. Bypassed fan switch, fan works. Not sure if engine was hot enough for fan?

Leaks from the thermostat housing, suppose the thermostat forms part...

Went on holiday for 3 weeks. Came back and heater is not blowing anything. It was fine when i went away. The dials all show ok and i have checked all the fuses and they are ok.
It is a right hand drive.
I have tried looking on the forum for information as to where the blower unit and resistor are located but it all seems to be for older c5.

Evening Citroen Chums,

Hope you are all keeping well.

Tracked an intermittent fault with the cigar lighter to the internal fuse box circuit board. Not too dissimilar to the S2 fuse box issue someone kindly advised on last year.

Well what a nightmare.

I suspect that when I refitted the dash after doing the heater matrix I may have trapped...
