Hi,

Is someone having the wiring diagram for the seat heater/warmer for driving seat?

I was out driving some days ago where alot of people was flashing to me... and I fugure out the light was way high....

When I try to adjust from the switch/regulator inside the car, nothing happens... I think they know stay on the highest posistion....

Where to start?

I checked the manual inside the car for finding correct fuse, but the hight...

Got a bit of a shock this week, having placed a web-order with Chevronics (in Hitchin) for NOS front and rear Citroen mudflaps for the BX...

The cost of the items was £38 a pair, so £76 all-in, plus carriage (which was to be via Parcelforce).
Correctly, they chose not to add VAT, as this is payable by the purchaser, in their own country - in my...

My driver's side rear window was broken by vandals, I got hold of a replacement, cleaned out most of the broken glass and was trying to figure out how to get the new window in.
I was moving the regulator up and down to try to get a view of it, it's very hard to see, and it went to the top and wouldn't come back down.
I can feel it moving about 3...

An odd thing has happened twice now. I rarely leave the van with the handbrake on, just in gear. On two occasions now (I think after I have used the handbrake, though not sure) I've gone to reverse off the drive and it feels like the handbrake is on, no it's not, tried to go forwards, backwards, still the same. The first time it happened I jacked...

Hi!
I have a Citroen Jumper from 2006. Everything was fine up until like a week ago. At first, I thought it was just my imagination but no. When I open my car in the early hours of the morning, the crate ceiling seems to be wet, like it had dew on it. There is a big temperature difference between day and night but how can it reflect the inside of...

Evening all

I've got a 2009 2.0 HDi 138hp C5 that I'm looking at getting a new battery for. Any recommendations of brands would be great. Or issues with replacing it would be helpful, you know stuff like re programming the windows and the like.

Cheers

Hi everyone! I was wondering,is there any noticable difference when using the most expensive spheres on the market? Some people say there is,some not. What is Your expirience? :lol:

I decided to have a closer look at the dodgy VCI, checked all the wiring for connectivity all ok now have the PCBs out, a close inspection with a powerful magnifying glass shows this which looks a bit unhappy to me, what do you guys think?

Hi - Could anyone tell me the correct disc size (283/26 or 288/28) for my 2004 C5 VTR 2.0hdi estate please? There are conflicting listings for the discs and calipers - some seem to use 288mm, some 283mm.

My VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].

With many Thanks

Hello everyonbe on the forum! I am here to pick the brains of all you french vehicle lovers. I have a 2001 Citroen Relay van (1.9 Diesel) which was absolutely great until the gearbox went completely kaput. Trying to track one down is proving a very hard job! I have one breaker who *may* have one but has asked me for the gearbox code to check...

Hi all. I have a Citroen C2 VTR 2006 model

I have sorted the BSM and fitted a test unit from another vehicle. The Dual Alternator lamp error seems to be fix, but one problem that persist id the disappearance of the center display info and the freezing of the trip counter.

Hi everyone,

I put hydraflush in my Xantia at the weekend to see if it solved the problem of the dropping back end, although it needed flushing anyway.

You can choose to disconnect the pipes from their connectors if you want, but you don't have to. The main problem in getting the reservoir out is the clip bar on the left hand side holding the...

2007 2.0hdi C5
So the problem goes like this...
If the car has been left overnight or longer it becomes very hard to start. The battery is new, and the starter motor turns it all over very fast. Often it fires straightaway and then instantly dies. Then after that it will just crank over and over and over without firing. After a few minutes of...

After 1 year in the wrapping, it was time to mount the tow bar. I got a Westfalia detachable towbar, with cabel kit for 13 poles and hooked into the canbus.
Short story: OK quality and nice fitting, mechanical instructions is pretty much useless, electric instructions was fine and straight forward.
In the Diagbox (9.68) I was a bit unsure what to...

Hi everyone
sorry if my English is poor.
I have 2010 Citroën Xantia 2.0 16v with XU10J4R RFV engine. I kept it for about 10 years standard because I use it as a daily car.
But now I want to increase the power and make it Activa!
For legal reasons in my country, I can't change the engine volume and the number of cylinders and type of fuel! So the...

Hi all,

I've just recently acquired my first Citroen, a H1L1 Relay. It's in good nick (only done 120k miles) except I knew the alternator belt was a bit squeaky. It snapped unfortunately before I got round to changing it.

I would rather replace it myself rather than go to a garage as I know that it's ultimately doable even for an amateur such as...

My Xantia disgraced itself by bursting one of the high pressure pipes that runs from front to back.
Access is pretty terrible at both ends, so I decided the only way I was going to get the car mobile again was to replace just the rusty section. In theory, this should be straightforward; cut the affected section out, flare the pipe on each side...

Hi. I have tried to look for info about cruise control fitting to my 2011 citroen relay. I have lexia and can get a stalk from a fiat ducato 2016 model. Some say cruise stalk is exactly the same newer or from 2007 model and that every relay boxer or ducato is already wired from factory. Does anyone known more about this? I did couple of audi cars...

Hi,
I have my beloved C5 for sale/to go. It has 130k on the clock, 2006 (56), Exclusive hatchback, clean interior, bit dents on the roof from bikes. Runs very well, I was always servicing it every year with mot (filters/oil etc, changed cambelt once). Parking sensors are dead, well - front ones work until R is selected (automatic gear box). Lot of...

Is it possible for anyone to ascertain the build date of a Citroen from the VIN number?

Hi All,

I'm just swapping the caliper for a re-furb'd one, and am cleaning up all the mountings etc. The cylinder part of the caliper (the part that comes off for pad changes) has two bolts which fix into the...

This is an example of my frustration and I suppose it comes with experience.

I was hoping to get dash fully built back up today and I am nearly there.

However, I am trying to locate the air vent extension tube behind the glovebox. I’ve got it located but I tried to remove the side vent itself and have only so far. I don’t want to break...

Just added an extra 1.8 C5 2002 model break with way lower milage than my old one. I got it cheap because it wont start and i was suspecting it had something to do with the electronics.

Hi Guys,

I've noticed that my BoL is 1993-1998 and that they also do a version which covers 1993-2001.

I have what I believe to be a good proportion of the Citroen Factory Manuals but they are buried at the moment and not easily accessible. Probably half a day's work to extract them and they still might not have what I am looking for.

Hi, really need some advice!

I am looking to replace the existing H7 Halogen bulb to an LED one. I have seen this on ebay and was thinking of buying, they look OK but I was wondering if anyone has done this conversion before. Can anyone give me any words of wisdom on this:

The lateral moving vents on the airvent have become unattached. How is the section of vent removed from the dash please? Might be able to get the mechanism back if i can get the unit out.

Hi Guys,

Bit of an usual and off-topic question here I hope you guys don't mind, I'm sure the knowledgebase will see me right since google hasn't this time.

I’m new to the forum so go easy on me.
I drive a 2009 Citroen C5 2.0 Hdi.
I’ve recently developed a noise from my power steering when stationary or moving slowly so I checked the reservoir and it seems to be very low.
After searching for what seems like hours and phoning 3 motorfactors up I can’t seem to find what power steering fluid...

Working at mounting tow bar and when at it, a xtra reversing light. Original reversing lights are a joke, in combination with a camera that is useless in the dark, I really need some more lights. As its only legal to have a max of two reversing lights, I will remove the bulb or dismantle the reversing light at one of the sides, via Diagbox.

Hi there,

I'm currently looking at buying a C5 and currently cross shopping two versions. They are both Exclusive models, one is a 2010 3.0HDI and the other a 2012 2.0HDI.

So speedo is very slightly reading over which isn’t a bad thing. I think the rev counter is reading...
