Ciroen Relay 2.2 HDi glow plug replacement

Having had starting problems with my 2010 138000 miles Relay 2.2 HDi last winter, I decided to change the glow plugs before this one.
To do this, I completely removed the front grille and grille surround which contain mainly large headed torque screws (I used a torque screw penknife type tool bought from Aldi for about £5).

Berlingo first gear

Hello

I just bought a berlingo 2.0 hdi . When I made a test drive I unfortunately did not notice that the first gear does not want to go in very smoothly. Is it a sign of bad synhros? Other gears go in nicely.

When you are stopped and the engine is running, will it go in to gear ok? Also is reverse ok?

Sometimes it goes in nicely but sometimes it does not go in at all. Overall it is not very bad, I can drive the car nicely but I am afraid that my wife could be in trouble when waiting for the green light and then the gear does not switch in. Reverse...

Citroen c2 1.1 design 05 high clutch bite

Unless you've actually got a receipt with a date on I'd take the two years ago with a pinch of salt. I've had many people phone and say You did my clutch about a year ago . When I check my records it's 3 or 4 years! If you can smell the clutch it's gone definitely!

C5 Gear linkage issue after clutch & dmf change

I have recently spent over a significant amount on a Citroen specialist to have the clutch and Dual Mass flywheel changed on my 2008 C5, diesel 138bhp.

My issue is that it is now very difficult to select Reverse and First gear. This was noted in the first few days, 500 miles / 3 weeks on it has not improved.

Last post

Hi. The sunroof dial works on a star shaped washer held against the circuit board by a spring. Over time the spring loses tension and the star shaped metal loses proper contact. Solution is to either replace the switch or take it apart and stretch the spring. Also rebounding the star shaped metal contact will help.
Hope that helps

To confirm then - you are getting the lighting up of the segments of the blower motor on the panel, but no fan at any speed?

Last post

You'll either have 14 or 15 Steel wheels on at present. Alloys were available in 14 , 15 & 16 on the C2. One thing you'll want to watch is that the Power Steering was available in 60 & 65 Amps - and usually varies according to engine type and wheel size - so could be a factor. When you get your VIN to us we can check which you have fitted.

Plan to do engine swap from 2.0l hpi to regular 2.0l 100kw engine.

Last post

I would think that generally, with the electronics systems built into modern cars, that engine swaps are becoming very difficult, and only possible if the donor car is of similar model, year and specification. You will probably need to swap several ECUs and wiring harnesses over, so you would really need a complete donor car available.

Fuel rail presure sensor

by Ardtullaich » 30 Aug 2018, 22:54

First post

Hi all
Just bought my first Citroen for 20 years.
Bought a 2008 c5 2ltr hdi it came with a new fuel presure sensor as it was displaying a fault on the code reader. Fitted supplied part car wouldn't start
put the old sensor back in car started. Checked the part numbers and they were different supplied part was 55pp02-02 my-b. The so called faulty...

Last post

Very curious that they don't supply the parts separately. Would be interesting to know the technical reason why that would be the case.

Replacing Spheres on a 1997 Citroen Xantia Estate 1.9 TD

by BMBCreative » 30 Jul 2018, 14:51

First post

Hi Folks,

I'm starting to get a fairly bumpy ride in my 1997 Citroen Xantia Estate 1.9 TD (Desire), mostly on the back wheels. All the spheres were re-gassed about 10 years ago but now it looks as if they need replacing. The front spheres don't seem too bad, It's mainly the back.
I have a few questions though if someone here can help me?

Is it...

Last post

Life of the traditional round green spheres is 3 years or so (without any re-gassing), with the anti-sink and Accumulator spheres maybe twice that, as they do less arduous work.
At 10 years, I'd really recommend replacing all of them.

Can't help with pointing up anyone near Limerick who might have re-gassing kit, but someone here just might just...

1.9D DW8 Forgot to put coolant cap on, and drove for about 2 hours. Any risk?

by kenbw2 » 30 Aug 2018, 20:49

First post

Checked my coolant level last night, then drove home - about 2 hours on the motorway at 50mph. Temp gauge was exactly where it should be all the way.

Come to refill my washer bottle, and noticed I'd forgotten to put the cap back on.

Coolant level is exactly where I left it last night so it's not boiled away thankfully.

I'm worried it might have...

Last post

It will only boil if you thrash it, driven normally it should be OK. I ran an XM with the cap loose for several years as the head gasket was leaking and it was blowing the water out, with the cap loose didn't loose any as it was relieving the pressure in the cooling system, but of course the success of this arrangement depends on how badly the...

Hello to all.

We have finished putting the Citroen ZX 1.9d engine into our Peugeot Boxer. Plenty of work it was. Apart from changing the engine you have to change the flywheel and the sump and the oil-pan on the oilpump also. Also , the boxer has a remote diesel filter so the housing for the diesel heating system needs to be changed too. Also the...

A 1.9D N/A in a Boxer, that must be rough. I have a hard enough time with the 1.9D in my Dispatch.

Citroen C5 X7 09 Suspension Strut

by Gummbo » 30 Aug 2018, 10:09

First post

Hi Marc I have ordered a new differential pressure switch and I'm waiting delivery another problem I have is the front passenger side suspension leg is leaking is there a seal kit or is it a complete new leg job

Last post

If it's the strut, then no, it will need a complete new replacement as unlike the previous models which could be repaired or the seals could be replaced, these new types are bonded rubber to metal and once they leak, that's it really. Just make sure you determine it is from the strut. I just had the driver side one replaced a few months back....

Our Citroen starts every time, first tweak of the key, even in the depths of winter.
It does 36-44mpg, and topside of 125mph.
The battery never goes flat, and tends to last five years+.
The tailgate performs immaculately.
The wipers operate and park in perfect sync.
All the electrics work, and nothing needs re-programming if unplugged or...

Hi,
2002 citroen c5 2.2 Hdi
the car is working well at the mo except if I hold the foot brake down for 3 or 4 seconds when stationary I get ESP/ASR fault and the brake warning light comes on. Doesn't seem to do it while I'm driving but every time if I'm stationary
I had the sticky handbrake issue (which I hoped was causing this also) so I have...

Last post

thanks for the replies. I have a spare brake switch (the 3 brake lights are currently working) so I'll try replacing the other brake switch next to the one that does the lights and see if it's that - I'm suspicious of that as the problem started shortly after I replaced the brake switch when the brake lights were not working, then if that doesn't...

Had a small problem with my 2006 C5, in that it was surging on the motorway, when cruising at 60-70mph. No fault codes displayed. Also, occasionally, it would lose power and hiccup for a second, when accelerating gently between 1,200 and 2,000 rpm.

As the car has done just over 100,000 miles, I took the EGR valve off and found that the valve was...

Hello

After I did interior cleaning on my VTS, neither of my heated seats work. I didn't kneel on the seat, I just reclined and slid them a lot. Fuse is OK, light on heater control works.
What to check next?

C5 X7 additive

by xf1ref » 28 Aug 2018, 14:55

First post

I just want to share something I saw today when I have checked the Exhaust parameters saved on pdf files from this month.
Seems that fuel additive is injected into the tank even if I didn't refuel nor removed the cap of the tank. I knew that the additive is injected only when refueling.

The parameters from left are from 19th Aug and on the right...

Last post

It’s not, that difference is because the amount of additive in the tank is only estimated. It’s not physically measured by anything. :-D

The engine ECU receives the information on the amount of fuel put in the vehicle, via the BSI, from the following components:
Fuel gauge
Wheel speed sensors
Depending on the quantity of fuel put in, the...

Are the rear doors on the Xantia hatchback and estate the same?
A minor brush with a gatepost means that the plastic moulding on the nearside rear door needs replacing. I can't source a replacement for my hatchback but have found one for an estate which the seller assures me will be a perfect fit.
Wondered if someone would be kind enough to...

Yes they only list one rear door exterior protector for both estate and saloon versions.
