Hi,

I've just ordered a new aerial to replace the one on my C5 estate. The radio reception is currently very poor, I've checked the aerial behind the head unit and that looks ok. If the aerial doesnt cure the fault, can someone please explain where the amplifier is located?

Thank you,

Hi, I'm hoping someone can advise on this. Just changed the broken spring on the front passenger strut, and pulled too much on the hub when removing the strut, causing the driveshaft to partly come out of the gearbox and dump quite a lot of oil on the floor.

Using the haynes manual, I located the filler/level check plug and removed it. Oil...

recently. A C1 feel 1.0 petrol.
There is nothing really wrong with the car, if you are happy to just drive for the sake of getting from A to B as cheaply as possible.
The engine was noisy. The boot was tiny. The power was woeful. The gear-change was notchy.
Visibility was good.The brakes were good. The seats were almost comfortable. The touch...

I posted this on the Renault Forum .. But then thought maybe there might be similar problems with Citroen/ Peugeot cars.

I'm posting on behalf of a friend who is experiencing strange electrical problems with her Captur. She lives hours away from her main dealer in Edinburgh, days infact, (in Shetland) so when the dealer had the car for a service...

Hi all the rear end of my 2.0 hdi estate looks very low, at rest with the engine off the top of the tyre is up inside the wheel arch, where as on my 1.9tdi there is a gap, any ideas why this should be, I've only just bought the hdi so not familiar with it, many thanks for any help.

I know this subject has come up before and someone advised that the paint code for a 2.0 hdi is under the bonnet and they posted a photo and said it would end in MR for an estate, my code is EWPA and its white, is that the code I need to buy paint, many thanks.

My engine cover is made of a carpet type material & I'm looking to change it to a plastic cover, but the more I search, the more different types I find.
Anyone point me in the right direction on which one fits my engine?

Has anyone tried to replace the aperture on a C5 X7? Do you need any tools, where do you start from, do you have to use silicone or something similar to secure the new one in place?

Many report this, I had it but thought it was the car as so many say they get it with much conversation and speculation on tyres, pressures pattern etc.........

Now, having just done my inner lower ball joint the car is VERY much changed, the background drone has gone completely.

My advice is if you think your tyres are making a noise but the...

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...

I drive a C5. Symptoms are that when driving the car started to judder and the clutch pedal locked up (cannot press it in). Also the accelerator pedal is very slack and not like it normally is. Any help appreciated.

Gentlemen,

I need help. I have just bought a Synergie.
When I went to look at the car it was running ok. Now the thing will not start.
I've searched the net but can't find any Electrical diagrams which would be helpful.
The dashboard lights seems ok but the stop light is flashing.
When I turn the key there is nothing not even a click.
Any help...

Is there any way of adjusting the screen wash nozzle on my C4 GP?
Every time I use the screen wash, the left passenger side is fine but the drivers side goes straight over the roof.
A bit dangerous this time of the year with the roads being so dirty.

Can't afford to buy premiums now, due to buying a new house so recommendations would be welcome for a couple of decent tyres.

Another instrument panel (illumination) bulb has blown. I removed the instrument cluster from the VSX while stripping it, but that's a lot different to just removing the cluster to change bulbs as the steering wheel, stalks and switch bar had already been removed! Could some kind soul give me the basic steps to remove just the cluster please?...

Just seen a '94 XM estate, 2.0 petrol automatic for spares/repair near us and I'm interested. The car needs welding for MoT (I can do that probably, would have to look) and the usual electrical foibles to go through, but the main thing that worries me is that the gearbox has a fault, described as and I quote There is a problem with the automatic...

Hopped into the car today and went to start her up. Engine barely turned over and made a funny howling sound. Checked the terminals - all fine. Wipers etc seemed to have plenty of go, but thought flat battery .

I have a spanner symbol on the odometer to show that I am due for my 100,000 mile service but all the work has been done.

The problem is that the button on the odometer that you normally use to reset the service spanner doesn't work. Is there another way to reset it, maybe using my Lexia?

Hi,

I have a non-sinker Xantia that over the last few weeks I've noticed has started slowly sinking at the front when parked up. It happens slowly - when I parked it up last night there was about four fingers gap between arch and tyre, it had dropped by maybe half a finger when I needed to use it after a couple of hours, but by this morning it...

Someone please explain how to adjust the thing. My cars stuck on high since I did the bottom arms. I stupidly disconnected the band around the roll bar rather than unpopping the clip. I've spent a he last 4 hours trying to set it but whatever I try if its connected the thing goes to high and if disconnected goes to low.

Clearly when the car goes...

Hello

Recently found a 2001 Xantia V6; it's been two weeks now and have started to get to know each other: bit like an arranged marriage me thinks, she's done 120k and has started to settle down, reveal her secrets.

Many thanks to Jim for help regarding the LT71141, have had to accept NZ doesn't have supplier so will have to do a regular change...

Hi Gents,

Anyone living close to Maldon Cm94ss who could give me a to sort a 1.9td synergie?
Bought it as a project but eventually got is started yesterday and it maxed out at 40mph.
Ran like a bag of nails. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Recently two things happened on my C8 at the same time:

When I go into reverse my parking sensors sometimes give a continuous beep.
My trip computer (rectangular display just below the speedo etc.) is sometimes blank and when it decides to start up the time and date are reset.
If I connect my Lexia I can see that (errors are from memory):...

Hi all
I've just bought a Xantia 2.0 hdi 90 bhp and among the bills is one for a Tiger tuning box, my mate who I bought it off knows nothing about it, previous owner maybe,I'm not sure if its been fitted or not, has anyone had any experience of this device, many thanks,
Bill

could someone advise me of how to access the geabox top mount on the later xantias. On the earlier models you simply removed the battery. On the hdi models the lhm resevoir and abs unit sit right on top of it.

Hi guys

I have the usual issue of some bulbs out in the dash which come on if you thump them, however the heater lights up okish but your slider knobs themselves do not which I am sure the did on my 1.8?

Am i correct?

Thanks.

Double post from sticky thread, as it might have more response here :twisted:

Well I'm trying to install Diagbox 7.02 on my laptop, as my friend has Citroen DS5 4x4 hybrid, and the car doesn't start. Previously I had Diagbox 5.xx which was working fine and presumable I have a Chinese clone, but I not sure, as I bought it second hand about a year...

Hi folks

Just fitted my 3rd new ball joint into the N/S on the Xantia in less than 2 years! Replaced O/S and N/S 24k miles ago, then last September, I did the N/S again- as the old one had a lot of play.(this is after c18k miles), this one did have a split in the gaiter, which may have been caused by me fitting it so fair play to that one. Fitted...

Noticed the past week that the car was riding a bit rougher, enough so that I ended up thinking the 206's suspension was ok! Did a bleed of the pump/tank/acc circuit today along with some citroebics and while it was going down I noticed there was a lot of bubbles trapped in the LHM filter you can see from the filler hole. They didn't seem to...

Have you ever had one of those days where barely a thing goes right & the car fights you every step of the way? lol well we've had one today, spent 3.5hrs just replacing the nearside lower swivel on the ZX (mainly due to the rivets being more solid than a solid thing & refusing to budge), as a result of this I've accidentally pulled too hard on...

Hello .I want to buy origirnal navi system for my Citroen C4 2009 second hand or from wrecked car,but i cant find anywere this system(RNEG2/RT6) or (RNEG/RT5).

My xantia TD I bought through this forum is great, the engines sweet, it pulls like a train and starts on the button!

However even if I leave it idling it neves get above 70 degrees, the heater is quite warm if not red hot and all seems well, also she warms up well thought even after about 5 minutes.

Should I worry?

Few weeks ago I have purchased a Citroen C5 Tourer 2.0 HDI 160 Exclusive Auto made in January 2010 with around 60000 miles on the clock, equipped with the Hydractive 3+ suspension.

I am very happy with the car, but every time I go over a speed hump or a steep crest on the road, above a certain speed depending on the steepness of the back step of...

Well I know now why I got an error code 0341 after the ancillary belt broke - so did the cambelt!
Now I am not sure if any serious damage has been done to the engine/valves etc
The engine turns over ok but not sure that means much as the cambelt would not have moved anything else.
Or am I making an assumption?
What is the next best step?

My wife is getting a new C4 and the dealer has recommended a paint and interior treatment called supagard. Looking at the brochure this seems to be some sort of clear coating which is supposed to keep everything looking better for longer.

Anybody have any experience of this and whether it's worth having on a brand new car.

Dealer I think quoted...

I have a Xsara Picasso 2.0 hdi, when I pull the washer stork back I get the jets on front windscreen as you'd expect but when I turn the end of the stork for the rear washer THAT too operates the front washer, Had a look at the washer bottle all seems fine. If anyone can think of why this is happening and advise me on how to get it sorted I'd...

Hi guys. My battery earth clamp has disintegrated...2 cables off it, 1 to engine bay, does the other main cable go to the gearbox? Would Citroen have one? Or otherwise anyone know the dimensions so I can get one made?

Would rather change the whole thing than just the clamp if possible.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I apologise straight away for this being horribly subjective, but I'd be interested in everyone's feedback none the less.

I just bought my first C5. It's a 2003 LX Estate, 2.0 HDi (110bhp). I've not owned a Citroen before, but have driven BXs and Xantias.

I find that my C5 doesn't give the magic carpet ride that I recall from the...
