Would you believe the rear wiper motor appears to have come loose from its moorings and I never know 'quite' where the blade will end up!

I've got as far as taking off the plastic covers and unscrewing the torx fasteners along the base of the trim, but would appreciate any advice on how i proceed from here.

Hi originally had code P2207 Nox sensor heater control circuit high bank 1. Changed nox sensor. Now got code U1535pl Manufacturer controller which I can't find any record of anywhere.
Any ideas?

Evening all. Thinking of doing my brake shoes and pads soon.
When I check ECP for the correct ones matching my Reg and Brake manufacturer, there are 2 options. With or without ESP.

HoW do I tell??

TIA

Hi there, I'm new to this forum, but not Citroen ownership! As some are aware (based on my posts in the Facebook CX group) I am actively looking for an air flow meter for my CX.

My car is a 1988 CX 25 GTi Turbo 2, and it uses a Bosch air flow meter - Bosch part number 0 280 202 099.

My car came with the incorrect air flow meter from a BMW, so I...

Hi, I have a small obscure problem. The hose number 6 on this picture is not circulating any water through it after I changed it recently, it had been wearing down against on the ac pipes next to it and started to drip, thats when we noticed the lack of heating air inside the car. Worth noting: the expansion vessel was never emptied. Now the car...

Hello, my first post and I am seeking help !

From the outset I will state I am not the most mechanically minded, please be gentle and apologies if I don’t understand.

I have a Citroen Relay LWB campervan. It is a 2006 model and has 55000 on the clock. Regular service and I like to think well looked after. I use the same garage in Glasgow that I...

Hi everyone
I'm new to Citroen ownership & we bought our first ever Citroen on new years day a 2007 2.0 HDI auto estate.
All was fine with the cruise all week until Wednesday, went to set it & it just stayed in the off position no matter what I did & hasn't worked since.
Plugged my code reader in & it's telling me the fault is BSI 521 Switch...

Hi Guy's, I've got a problem with the high speed on my cooling fan on my 2007 C4 Picasso 1.6 HDi (5 Door)

Diagbox is giving me P0692 code Fan High Speed Control telling me it is open circuit.

The slow speed works fine.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to check for a break in the wiring? (or even where the fuse is although I imagine...

Hello

My car showed a warning, that the eolys lewel is too low. However, the warning has disappeared again and has not appeared for the last 14 days. But that probably means anyway that I must have refilled the eolys tank.
I have read a lot about the topic in this forum, but still have a clarifying question that I hope you can answer.
My build...

I have looked for leaks although 1 injector is wet it is not running with diesel just sort of damp.

Advised by AA Fuel pump blocking. Just taken Fuel Feed Unit out expecting to find a pump, but there is no pump fitted just 2 pipes going into the diesel through the Unit. 3 pipes feed the unit.

Does anyone know how I can proceed to find out why...

Well, the BX has arrived, traillered 1500km from France by a friend, and it's now with us.
So seems like a good moment to start a blog...

It's a September 1992 (RP 5800) BX19 Millésime, XUD9A, N/A, with A/C, LHD, in light gold (champagne).
Has covered 170k km (106k mi), which is pretty gentle stuff for all those...

Hi

At already -10 degrees celsius the car is almost impossible to start, it takes a lot of cranking with multiple rounds to finally start the engine. I have a lexia tool and it shows no relevant codes under the injection( only something about heating relay circuit or smth). As much as I understand the car does not need glow plugs to start. I...

Hi, my S1 Xantia, the central locking seems to have a mind of its own! as soon as I lock the car , it starts locking and unlocking on its own, for about 6 times! The drivers door has now locked itself and wont open! anyone any ideas? new one on me, cheers Terry. [-o<

Hello,

Last week I started to hear a water sloshing around behind my dashboard, especially when turning right! I've no idea how the water has got there or how to get it out !

I have a 2010 C3 Picasso and any advice would be greatly appreciated !

Many Thanks,
Nick.

Hi all, new as a user on the forum but I have ‘window shopped’ here plenty of times in the past looking for info on fixing my xantia.
Just bought myself a c5 tourer 2008, it’s got a couple of small issues I’d like to get sorted so thought I better get on board with the forum and actually start reaching out to people.
I’ll keep the issues separate...

Hi,
I have a C4 Picasso (March 2012). The heater/A.c fan started making a faint dull clicking/brushing type sound a few weeks ago as it spun and eventually stopped turning altogether. It's worse when above the slowest speed.
All the lights remained on.
Due to covid I am using the car very little but when I do go out drive for 1/2 hour plus to give...

Is there anyway of disabling the distracting flashing outside temperature function at low outside temp? quite annoying that it does that in winter!

I've had this car about 3 months, until now it's been ok. (Not as lively as my old C4GP 2.0L Exclusive).

2 days ago I noticed when switching off the ignition that the lights on my temp control panel and handbrake light stayed on -
the lights on the temp control panel 'flickered'.
Got out of the car and locked it via the fob, the lights inside...

This has been driving me completely bananas in this cold weather. The manual for my C5 X7 has this:

Can you see that diesel preheater symbol? Where is this in the instrument binnacle? It doesn't appear! How do I know if the glowplugs have done their thing?!

The air conditioner on our C5 X7 stopped working yesterday. This has happened before and when the car is next started, the problem resolves itself. It seems this time though, the problem is more permanent, as the car has been started a number of times, but it did not resolve it.

When selecting/deselecting the air conditioner, there is no change...

I have a little c3 picasso 1.6hdi from 2010. Love this car but there is one annoying thing about it; every time, after 2 minutes I start the engine I hear a short beep, the info is displayed on the dash: electric circuit error, and then a battery symbol comes on and stays on. The car has been checked and the battery is charging fine right at the...

Hi everyone,
I’m fitting a cobra a4615 to my 2014 Citroen dispatch. Does anyone know if it’ll need activating within the vans settings to work? Or will it just work when fitted?
Thanks in advance

Hello,

I started my car as usual today, other than it being snowy nothing unusual.
After a few seconds my car showed a red temperature warning along with the text engine temperature fault with the stop warning.
I checked with an infrared thermometer and car is not overheating. The car sounds fine and seems normal.

I looked under the bonnet and...

Hi,
I'm trying to locate the bleed valves on the cooling system of my 2010 Nemo 1.4 Petrol. I don't have a user manual and can only see 1 bleed screw next to the thermostat housing.
Is there another one for the heater matrix somewhere as I can't see one but the system won't bleed properly- there isn't a lot of info on nemo's on the web and most...

My 2005 berlingo van dw8 is knocking like a transit, using loads of fuel and smoking. Theres no engine light on and I haven't checked for fault codes.There are no air bubbles in the clear fuel pipes. After reading several threads I believe the advance solenoid could be the problem, unplugging the solenoid doesn't make any difference, is there a...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and to owning a Citroen. The problem relates to my Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2014 1.6HDI Auto(flappy paddle tiptronic).

Having just last week bought a second hand 2007 C3 I hadn't realised it was missing the front drivers side splash guard / inner wheel arch.

I've ordered one from ebay with a handful of clips to fix it in place...

Hi all Chris here just joined tonight,
I’ve recently just purchased my first ever Citroen, it’s a c4 Picasso VTR + 1.6 hdi,
I’ve had it 4 weeks now and just noticed yesterday that on the digital display when I go to start the car it’s saying pat filter low, after about a minute if goes off.
So I’m wanting to get this sorted as soon as possible...

I have a problem with my 2001 C5 2.2HDI due to it not starting. This car is in excellent condition with 80000 miles on it, I have owned it from new and it has been very reliable until now.

This problem happened when I had a local garage remove the ABS ECU pump and fit a used one for me as I had an ABS and ESP warning light on and they were not...

My 2007 C5 II Estate 1.6hdi has travelled 200K km without faults of any kind - until last week.
When trying to start, it was completely dead.

Upon checking, the 25A starter motor fuse was blown.
Fitted new fuse, car started.
Next time it was totally dead again. Yet another 25A fuse helped.
All this happend in a humid climate, -17deg Celcius....

Hi I have a C4GP 1.6hdi VTR+ 2009
I've owned and loved for the last 5 years. 149000 miles serviced fairly regularly and it flies through mot's yearly.
About a week after the mot the eml came on and I found when it beeped and triggered the email the engine would cut out at about 60 mph and i'd have to coast to the side of the road, restart the car...

I'll be driving the car to my Citroen Service for regular interval maintenance (126000 km currently, approx. 78k miles) next week, and I've asked them whether they did any gearbox oil change on the same model so far. They actually did, but the interesting (or worrying) thing is that it was done on cars that were a bit older than mine and with...

Hi, I had an engine fault come up on my dashboard. its been connected to a computer and it says there is a fault with the camshaft sensor. The mechanic has removed the fault alert on the dash. He says if it comes back on to call him but the car is ok to drive. For peace of mind I would prefer to get it changed and was wondering if I could do it...

My newly acquired low milage 02 number 2, a 1.8 petrol break, seems to be unable to fight the recent cold weather by blowing mostly cold air inside the cabin.

If I push the gas pedal and the engine has gotten hot, I can feel the temperature rising, but it's way to cold for normal use.

I have seen many threads about broken flaps on electric...

If you want to read the waffling story please keep reading. If not, I’ve just got a couple of questions if you would be so kind as to throw some light on…

Firstly, the engine management light keeps coming on and going off when the engine is cold. The engine can cough and splutter sometimes (again when cold) and you can sometimes hear the revs go...

Earlier this year I ended up freecycling my beloved 2001 C5 after a second rear hydraulic burst in a year, glad to let somebody else fix it and benefit from the work I put into that car. So I 'treated' myself to a 59 plate C5 X7 - 2.0HDi saloon from a second hand dealer (something I swore I'd never do...) And so far, it's the biggest pile of crap...

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to fit an alarm to my dispatch, whilst taking things apart I noticed a box under the steering wheel with a load of cables going into it. It says traffic master plc on top. Does anyone know what this is?
Thanks in advance

Hi!

I just bought a '06 1.6 16V C4 for my wife. The car has only one working key, and that is without remote. I also got spare parts donor in the same bundle :)

What should i do now to get a (preferably extra) fully working key with remote? Is it possible to reprogam a pre-used immo chip and/or remote from the spare parts donor to the other...
