My car came back from the garage where the coolant sensor was replaced along with the battery to try and resolve the starting issue.

On the drive home all the dash lights came on and then went out and the air bag light stayed on. I turned the car off and on again and she was OK all the way home.

The next day my wife took it for a drive and all...

Hi all,

The measurement from the wheel centre to the arch is what I need I guess. The front looks a little lower than it should and the back a little higher than it should but I,m unsure if the back wants adjustment down a bit or the front wants adjustment up a bit....

Thank you.

Odd one, this. At least, to me.

Got in the car yesterday, fired her up, and as soon as that done, the service light came on and a message on the screen about the handbrake. I can't remember the exact words, but it was along the lines of, ' Fault with Anti-Roll back system' .

I soon worked out that this was something to do with the handbrake, as...

2005 Citroen C4 - I have had an issue with the AC blower fan not working, though the actual AC was on (I.E. I can change the fan through the fan controls/etc). I read online that it is apparently the BSM (under bonnet fusebox) which is fairly costly to replace. The issue was posted here by someone else: I've read other forums that also use a...

Is it possible to switch these sensors off ? & does the constant fault effect other electronics as the drivers window switch has suddenly developed a mind of its own ?

Do any one have information where to buy a new BSM 9659741780 L03 for a Citroën C2 VTR

Colder mornings are making it more difficult to start. Usually starts on the button, more or less, but now taking a while on the colder mornings.

Tried switching on the ignition a couple of times to give extra heating to the glow lugs but to no avail! Battery was replaced last year.

Hope you guys are doing well.

Hi all!

2002 Mk1 2.2 HDi. Car locks and unlocks etc but turn the ignition on and it makes a loud buzzing sound from the BSM and the engine won’t start.

I’ve replaced the BSM with a known working item and it’s the same. Loud buzz.

Any ideas? I’m absolutely gutted as I’ve just managed to get the car back on the road at some cost. 😞

Hi folks,

I've got the side airbag light on constantly on my 2000 Xantia HDi Exclusive. Got to get her through the test soon so it needs fixing urgently!

Having trawled the forum for suggestions, I concluded that the under-seat connectors were a likely culprit. However, we have cleaned them thoroughly with contact cleaner and although the light...

Hello there.
I have a 2012 Citroen C4 Picasso. The sidelights and headlights on both sides have stopped working. This happened at the same time on the same day last week. I have checked the fuses: all good.

Driving on the supply run today I noticed a scraping noise over a hump back bridge. When I got to the supermarket I had a quick look under the back to discover the outer skin of my backbox has rotted through on the left side and unwrapped itself to hang down a couple of inches, sorry 500mil, from the road. When I got home I found a couple of 100mm...

Hello everyone,

My sister’s car is in at Chevronics and they say it needs a new Eolys FAP additive ECU.

This is the one from the car

It is possible to find other ones with the EAS100.01 number on but not with 09733009902 on it which I will presume is important unless someone can tell me otherwise!...

My 2010 C5 Tourer has not run for a while - Lockdown etc and yesterday when I needed it, the battery was flat.
Lack of use, said AA man who got me started. The battery is in good shape apparently, just cold weather and no use..
He didnt connect directly to the battery and said I shouldn't use a home battery charger directly on it as I'd blow the...

Hi all. I’m hoping you can help please.

My C3 wouldn’t start last Saturday night. It sounded like the battery was flat and the car kept locking and resetting itself. No big deal, I thought - I would just take the battery out and charge it up.

On Sunday the key fob wouldn’t open the doors. I went to use the key in the driver door, but it seems to...

With the change of the transmission shaft, I lost some oil and i need to correct the level.

Being a citroen c3 1.1cc from 2004, I couldn't find the screw that allows me to see the oil level, so I decided to replace it.

When I looked to the car manual for the original oil I realized that it was replaced by Total transmission gear 8 (Gl4 +)....

Hi. I have a 2008 Relay. A couple of days ago I started getting a beep and door warning light on the dashboard. I checked doors obviously they were all closed securely.

Good morning everyone

Is It cause of a faulty egr or something else?
