Hi there,

My Citroen DS3 2014 Auto and has an issue that randomly throws the car in Limp mode at least once every 5-10 miles. The local garage diagnostic(non Lexia) showed U1209 CAN Network communication problem with the Gearbox ECU.

Any help please? I just bought the car 1 month ago, is used car.

From experience, what could it be the issue?;...

I am about to venture on a timing belt change on my car’s DW12C motor. I am now familiar with the process except for the locking of the crankshaft. I am advised that the pinning hole of 6mm in diameter lurks somewhere behind the starter motor. Can someone with a detailed diagram point me in the right direction.

Hi again! My 2004 C8 has just failed MOT on a minor bit of corrosion. I have the equipment to sort this, my concern being any possible effects on the electrical systems that run all these modern (by my standards!!) vehicles. Should I just disconnect the battery leads or is there an approved method to adopt to safeguard the electronic system? Sorry...

I have a question, why does my 2010 C5 X7 2.0 HDI RHH 163hp have a throttle body with two flaps? but one of the flaps has a dead end, for what?? I cant understand de purpose, its like it isnt even used, the flap is very clean, like new. Its very interesting, it also has a position sensor for the flap.

Hi all.

After changing the bottom radiator hose and refilling the coolant system I get the above warning lights. I note that below the hose as it enters the engine there's a mechanism that looks as if it's hydraulic in nature. I may have disturbed it or the electrical connections. Tight space and The wire may have been strained.

My question...

Trying to sort my indicator issue and need to get the cover off the BSI but there is a strange box taped to the top of it. One of the connectors has a red flashing light it it and there is also a speaker wired in. There are also some very aftermarket connectors, like jack plugs.

Hi and hello to all. Am a new member to today and intend to save a car parked up 2016 after it failed mot for fluid leaks from suspension system. Car is C5 2006 estate 1.6d.
Any info re a good garage or mechanic nearest to Louth in Lincolnshire would be appreciated and best places to get spare parts for suspension especially rear piston rams that...

Morning all,
I'd been meaning to sort the weeping ram at the rear of my Xantia Activa pretty much ever since I bought it 12 years ago, but it's finally failed the MOT on it... I had of course bookmarked CitroJim's excellent website how to guide, but I didn't have the foresight to buy the XM rack leak-off sleeves to have in stock when they were...

Hi,

I have seen in a few old posts that, based on the VIN, you guys might be able to tell me which eolys fluid I need. Are you able to help?

Model is 2018 Citroen Berlingo 1.6
VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

I believe this is Powerflex?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I need some advice, apologies if it has been asked before.

I have a 2004 Citroen C3 1.4HDI which runs perfectly, but the body is beyond repair.

I have found a later mode (told 2006) C3 1.4 HDI, now would like to transfer Engine/ECU/BSI and Key. Is it possible, wiring harness the same etc. ?

Thanks Jose.

Hello everyone. This is not just for Citroën, but anyone with a 1.2 PureTech engine.

There has been talk on another forum I am a member of about the premature failure of the internally housed cam belt and subsequent catastrophic damage to the engine. Many consider this to be a design fault and that the manufacturer, Stellantis, ought to do...

Hi!
I Have a C4 II 2018 and in the last few months I've been hearing a strange knocking noise coming from under the car though I can't pinpoint it well. It usually doesn't happen in the morning when I start the car, but it will come up after 10-15 min of driving. I couldn't tie it to any specific behaviour, though it seems to happen less when...

I found there is leak in pipe which runs from top through front bumper. I dont know if it is leak back pipe or something else. It is leaking from the end of hose which connect to metal pipe through a clamp ( same as attached). What is the procedure to replace this clamp. Do I have to lower the suspension to release pressure or just change it in...

Hello,
Where's the reverse camera plug location in C5 2012?
Because camera is flickering, do not have idea why so I'll try to check contacts.

I've received bad news from my local Citroen garage, that my lovely 2004C5 Exclusive Estate is scrap because the Eolys ECU apparently needs replacing, but is no longer available. I've been given the following list of fault codes:
P2002, P0234, P0100 x2, P1435 and P0485.

Some of the issues with the car I was already aware of - a tyre pressure...

I need to buy another AdBlue tank for my C4. I have contacted the main agents who have quoted me a price of £955 plus vat. This seems to be extorionate to the nth degree. If you look at the item you might guess at £100/£150, but £1200 is just taking the pi--. Does anyone have any similar expieriences? Some do appear on ebay secondhand but it is...

Help required please!

Started with my headlights (dipped beam) turning on and off as they please when the switch on stalk is off. Work as expected when they are turned on.
Then I had Battery Warning Light and 'Electr Circuit Fault' showing on...

Looking into getting a plug & play ecu (immo off) to see if it fixes issue I've been getting.
Can anyone tell me please:

1, do I need to get one specifically for automatic or does this make no difference As long as numbers match,?

2, if it turns out that it's my bsi (under the dash) that needs replacing does that mean I wouldn't need it...

Hi all
Newbie.
My first time of posting.
Just want to know where I can find an on-line catalogue of pictures and part nos for my C2 VTS.
I have a BMW that I am rebuilding and can use Realoem which is very detailed and shows picture and part numbers.
Have to yet to find similar for Citroen. Is there one out there?
I am currently after an...

I have seen a couple of recent threads on this.

My 2002 HDI 2.0L (Dispatch) has lost power, won't go up hills or even long low slopes easily, fine down the other side.

Apart from that no strange noises, starts normally, no smoky exhaust, just no revs, no power. Drove happily from London to Devon yesterday and was ok apart from embarrasment with...

Hi guys,

I have a C1 and the clutch has gone. I was about to remove the gearbox to replace the clutch when I noticed an oil leak from the gearbox. At first I thought it was the rear main oil seal leaking but upon closer inspection it smells like gearbox oil and behind the flywheel looks dry so have ruled that out. I can see a lot of oil inside...

Hello All
Question is as the thread title really: do the C5 steering rack issues that seem to crop up frequently on here only affect hydractive versions, or do the conventionally sprung cars suffer too?

Thanks.

Hi guys!

I have a MY2012 Citroen DS3 Racing which has done 50k km. or about 30k miles. For years I have been living in fear of the inevitable THP engine blow-up and it now seems like the time has finally come :roll: :roll:

Lately I've been experiencing rough idle and occasional blue smoke from the tailpipe during hard acceleration. The oil...

I jyst bought an 07 plate c4 sx grand picasso flat roof. It has no roof rack fittings nor rails, does anybody in the uk know where I can buy a roof rack for it? Halfords can get one but for £362, that's too much!!

Can anyone help with my citroen c4 grand mk2. I had a fault with the Eolys system. Had a new tank fitted (£450 wasted) but turned out to be a faulty pin on the connection. So whilst trying to get the fault resolve it flagged up an issue with injector 3. Fault was cleared and didnt come back.
Since the eloy issue was resolved and the injector...

Hi,

my lower RHS engine mount has suddenly given up after a heavy (1500 miles) fortnight.

Should I be checking the rest of the mounts, or is this one particularly prone to failure?

Cheers.

Amélie (our 2009 Dispatch 1.6 van) had a broken thermostat, so I changed it.

But the clip for the bleed valve in the old thermostat was cracked and the new thermostat didn't come with one. I had to bodge the old valve on with a zip tie.

None of the motor factors I visit can sell me one, or even find one in the parts diagrams.

Has anyone had...

Hi,

Does anyone know the size/gauge of the four wires that connect to the Parking Brake, my car seems to have a strange obsession with rotting one (the red one if it helps!) particular wire and after 2 re-terminations it's starting to run a little short. Also some tips on how to seal or keep water out of the thing if any!

thanks in advance.

Is the cooler an integral part of all high pressure DI diesels or specific to the HDi PSA system?
I am wondering if it could be the cause of my engine shutting down with low fuel rail pressure, given that the engine seems to start fine from cold, can handle a fair few revs (Xsara Picasso has no rev counter as far as I know!), but then conks out...

Does this in the link below mean another change in oil spec I've just changed spec of oil in january to 0W20.

good evening. After a month of using a citroen c 5 aircross car, bought new from a dealer, there was a problem with the paint coating on the roof of the car.The dealer refuses to make a warranty or change the car, I am in Latvia. Maybe someone knows the contacts of the factory in France?

Hello!

I have a problem that I just can't find an owner's manual for 2004 mk1 Berlingo Van 1.4i 55kW (5-speed manual) online. These manuals I have found from ManualsLib seem to be for Berlingo Multispace.

Can anybody give advice where I can find one in English for van also?

Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I have a Citroen C4 2009 1.6 petrol, when I use Diagbox to monitor the oxygen sensors, the downstream sensor is showing a rich fuel mixture 735 mV, and the upstream is showing a lean fuel mixture 1386 mV.

Would this be caused by the upstream sensor being faulty, and falsely showing the air/fuel mixture to be weaker than it really is, so the...

Hope someone can help me with this or supply and OEM part number.

Hello! I have a problem with my C5 X7 2.2 HDi, 136 hp and Delphi fuel system. The engine won't start, but if I disconnect the fuel gauge wire, it starts with a loud knocking sound. (Wire = Connector) The rail pressure is then about 1800 bar, when the wire is in place the pressure is about zero bar. There are four fault codes: Webasto voltage, EGR...

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the inactivity last time around! I have a 2009 C5 X7 that suffered a very loud knocking which as far as I can make out is the DMF and clutch. It was dodgy when bought and now its gone! It does till drive but clutch is funny and a horrible knocking noise emanates when the engine is loaded or the clutch is depressed. I have...

Hi guys, I'm after a bit of help please. My 2008 C5/X7 2.2 Tourer is still going strong, but is now owned by my son and he's got a problem. He's been loosing cooling water and overheating. Yesterday, our local garage managed to find the cause, but wouldn't attempt a fix. There is metal pipe coming from the from engine block at the front RH side....

after changing the timing belt, my car's check engine lights up and it takes longer to start, the diagnostics show me error p0344 p0341

Hi guys, this code came up after a timing belt change, so the garage checked the timing again, changed the camshaft sensor, but still have the engine light on. The last issue I could think off would be a damaged wire, as the car is cranking a bit too long compared to before, and sometimes cannot start, which is exactly the same behavior I observe...

Hi

The other day i opened the electric boot on my C4 grand picasso. NO problems opening it, it opened as normal using the electric opening.
However when i tried to close it it just started beeping and it would not close.
I tried to close the boot manually using force but it was stuck in the open position.
