H went out this morning to do a deep clean on the interior (seats out and get right in there) to get a warning that the end of the world was nigh, nothing works, it’s all broken etc etc from the dash, along with much to do on the Bing/bong front

C003a was the actual error code at the end of the day albeit it generates a lot of...

Hello all

Im just after some advice here on my new to me X7 C5 Exclusive with the Hydractive 3+ suspension. When I bought the car I was told that it was all fully functional and working well, sadly this was not the case.

After a week of trouble free driving I was on the M1 coming home and the traffic stopped in-front of me forcing me to brake...

Evening
I’m chasing a fault in the windows on my 2017 C4 Grand Picasso
The drivers window works but the other three are dead, the nearside mirror doesn’t fold or adjust either
I suspect a canbus fault, probably in the drivers door loom
Before I get stuck in, does anybody have a wiring distance for this?
Thanks!

Hi guys, I have a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso flair 2017. I bought this car in July this year, everything was working fine until 3 weeks ago. I cannot lock the doors with my key fobs anymore, the vehicle does not start without placing the key in the key holder. If I try to start the vehicle without the key in the holder I receive a message saying...

Good evening folks!

My 2017 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso II (1.6 BlueHDi 120hp) started screaming about not being able to see NOx sensor with error codes U029D87 & P220087.
This came up after updating engine ECU firmware through official diagbox (v9.268 newest at the time).
From reading around Google and forums I came to conclusion that NOx sensor is...

Hi all,

Looking for some advice on an unusual ETG6 issue that started immediately after a service today.

I have a 2014 Citroën Grand C4 Picasso, 6-speed ETG6.

The car was working normally in automatic mode before the service. The service was mainly an engine oil change (no gearbox/transmission fluid was changed).

I also asked the garage to...

Hello.

Recently purchased a 2008 C5 Exclusive tourer with a host of problems. Fixed everything but the air con is fighting back!
Upon receipt of the car the air con was not working so I had it vacuumed out at a friends garage. We left the car for 2hrs to be safe and the vacuum held perfectly! We pumped in 630gms of gas (£40) and away to go, the...

Hi All, I have a Citroen C5 X7 and I have changed the front left strut (NSF) three times now and it just keeps leaking. They seem to last 3 months and then start to leak. The knuckle broke a few years ago and was replaced i.e. the whole cast suspension leg. Since then I had a garage fit the first strut which started leaking after a few months. Due...

Bonjour à tous,
En raison de la vague de chaleur actuelle, ma climatisation a commencé à souffler de l'air tiède. Le garage m'a proposé un devis de 150 euros pour un diagnostic complet avant même d'avoir commencé à inspecter le système. Après avoir branché l'adaptateur ELM327 sur le parking, l'application OBDocker a détecté une pression trop...

Hi everyone,

I have an intermittent HVAC issue with my Citroen C5 X7 and haven't been able to find another thread describing exactly the same symptoms.

After a longer drive, the airflow from the vents sometimes becomes extremely weak or disappears almost completely. The strange part is that the blower itself is definitely still running. I can...

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some help with my 2013 Citroën C5 X7 2.0 HDi RHH.

The fuel system keeps getting air into it. After the car has been standing, it can become difficult to start, and I need to use the manual fuel priming pump to remove the air and fill the system with fuel again.

So far, we have replaced the following parts:

I have decided to replace the 12V battery, as it always shows a low standing voltage, and takes most of a Sunday to charge on the Optimate. (It is 3 years old, and I suspect it stood flat for months between the car being traded in at 2 years and me buying it at 2 1/2 years which will have killed it)

It is an 027 EFB battery, the one fitted is an...

Hi everyone,

I am dealing with a harsh, metallic rattling/clunking noise coming from the roof of my 2023 Citroen C3 Aircross whenever I drive over deep bumps or uneven roads. The sound is definitely coming from between the exterior roof metal panel and the interior headliner.

During its recent annual service, the dealer acknowledged the noise...

Bonjour ! Je rencontre ce problème depuis un mois. Il y a un mois, j'ai ajouté 525 g de fréon, mais malgré cela, la climatisation ne fonctionne toujours pas ! Le compresseur ne se met pas en marche !

Well, we finally have some useful snow in Croatia, and more coming on the way, so I decided to test the car how it handles on about 15 cm of snow, with ice here and there below it ... big open space (over 100,000 sq yards if I recalculated correctly), asphalt surface, no risks of damaging the car, no other vehicles or other obstacles ...

As it is very difficult to find Hydractive style spheres in Turkey (both for H2 and H3+) now, I have an idea.

Is it possible to remove the damping elements in the neck part of the spheres with the green Xantia spheres (and also, the grey C5 H3+ spheres), and install them in other spheres? Has anyone tried it?

As I mentioned elsewhere, I bought...

I'm having a PC clearout and found this document all about the Xantia Hydractive system changes.
Before I zapped it, I thought I'd put a link to it here from my filestore for all the Xantia owners in case it is of any use to you - contains diagrams of the old and 'new' hydractive assemblies. You may have already seen this, but in case you're...

Good morning, everyone!

I recently bought a 2005 C4 Coupé 2.0 HDI—a car I’ve always liked and a long-time dream of mine to own. However, I’ve been having a few issues and need your help.
I'm having symptoms like: sometimes it won't start, it's completely random, but then it starts after 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 seconds 😂. I thought it might be...

For several months the car has appeared occasionally sluggish with reduced mpg, but no diagnostics warning. First, a hot front wheel evidenced that the hand brake lever on the brake caliper had seized and was binding. Caliper replaced. A few weeks later…seemed sluggish again. This time the other front wheel was hot, evidencing a partially seized...

Hi everyone! For some times I noticed that I got some oil covering the front and lower end of the engine and I got information that it might be due to PCV membrane being perforated ( I took the test to check if that the case , with engine turn on , leave the oil cap loose and it seems that was jumping quite high) and my question is does this...

I have a Citroen c3 1.6 hdi 2005 90hp no dpf

Most people seem to use 5w30 but on recommendation from a oil site they reckon 5w40 is better and will burn less oil.
What is best for this car is the turbocharger safe with 5w40 as read it can get starved. But thought 5w40 might be good as high mileage. In the manual it states both are fine for this...

The back story; Battery was draining when vehicle left for more than a few days without running. This turned out to be a fleet tracker system that had been left in when I purchased the vehicle. Now successfully removed along with the parasitic drain it was causing.

Hi all,

First post so apologies if this information has been given out before. I did search the forums and although I found some really useful information I didn’t see exactly what I needed.

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with my 2010 Citroën Jumpy / Dispatch, 2.0 HDi 163 HP with FAP.

I was playing around with the CAN bus just out of curiosity.

By mistake, I sent random CAN frames to the comfort CAN bus. The car started blinking every light it has, and the doors suddenly locked and unlocked several times. I think that by doing...
