I'm looking to have a Xantia rear silencer shipped internationally. Does anyone have a fairly certain idea of how much it would weigh?

hi there, i am working on a little project, i just bought a smashed up c5 estate, i am going to cut the back off and turn it into a c5 caravan, but i would like to get the suspension working and raise it up from the rear boot height switch, can anyone please help me find a wiring diagram for the pump so that i can use it? many thanks for your...

Hey all, I'm Mick and I've been a lurker here on and off. Got some great advice from reading the forum.

I have a 2004 1.6 diesel which I love, but has recently decided to indulge in the suspension faulty. Max speed 55mph sketch.
I've read and absorbed the possible fuse, relay and pump issues and am attempting to follow the steps to fix the...

Just read this post from Moizeau.......Stick you VIN up, it's masked to all but the Holy Ones. There are many engines in Relays and correct info can be given with specific details.

I need to add my Vin to another post
So do i just type..............Vin then the number............. Will the system then automaticaly hide the number to general view?

i went to fit a N/S front flexi brake pipe today on a P reg 1.9 TD estate,

the pipe nut which attatches the metal feed pipe to the flexi would not budge even with VICE grip,

so i decided to call my local dealer to enquire into purchasing a new metal pipe before i went any further,

he asked as usual for the last 8 digits of the chassis No....

Not sure if you can determine by reg but worth a try- ********.
So far I have been googled towards gt1544v , 753420-2, 753420-5 ??????
My head hurts !

New owner of a Citroen Dispatch. Looking at the handbook it says disconnect battery before using a mains battery charger, then goes on to give dire warnings and instructions, it all seems a right faff never needed to on any other car. The reason I need to charge the battery because its going into economy mode after 2 minutes and only driving short...

Hi to all,

I have just bought a 2015 Nemo with no service history,
The van shows service =0 in the menu.

Can anybody advise what this means please.

Many thanks

Hello guys

Does anyone have experience of dealing with DVSA over contested MoT failure?

My Xantia failed on rear service brake recently. Spent loads on refurbishing calipers (no parts) at a Citroen specialist and did all the usual. Still failed. Thought back to the old days and loaded the boot with about 100kg. Answer? Went through with flying...

Hi all.
Another plea for help. My 2010 C5 X7 2.0 HDI 160 auto has had the “Parking brake fault”, ABS & other lights on for a few days. Been diagnosed today as an open circuit front nearside wheel speed sensor. Can anyone advise the correct part number for a replacement?

2012 C4 Grand Picasso diesel with egs gearbox, 55,000 miles.

Recently, I've found the car will accelerate normally in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, but the clutch seems to slip when it selects 4th and 5th and to a lesser extent 6th gear. This can be interesting when trying to move into the space between two artics when joining a dual carriageway!...

Hi Folks , I would like to attempt to find some answers to this mystery of mine revolving around my Citroen C5

C5 2.0 HDi ( RHR Engine) dcm 3.4 (dw10bted4) Siemen
179000 miles
recent service ; all fluid filters
no EOLYS to my knowledge , maybe someone knows different.

The vehicle has been running great since I purchased it with 169000 miles...

Driving to the airport this morning I noticed the car performing a little crappy (lacking acceleration). Short while later eml came on so I stopped and plugged my code reader in and the fault was p0402 EGR excessive flow (I already had p0401 insufficient flow and p0100 mass air flow faults recurring). Cleared the fault and carried on driving. A...

So today after numerous problems including EGR valve replacement, exhaust temp sensor replacement, maf sensor problem, turbo overboost problem, the car decided to overheat and illuminate the stop symbol and temp symbol. Pulled the car over ASAP to see water gushing out from somewhere near the turbo (couldn’t tell exactly where).
Anyone any idea...

I thought I'd start a new thread following on from my failed MOT post earlier, as this is now the only problem left.
The warning light on the dash is constantly on. I have searched for and read countless threads on this issue, but am still confused :?

I have measured resistance at the ECU plug and found the OSR sensor (or wiring) to be at fault....

Hi Guys,

I own a Citroen Relay 07. The van has very little power when i accelerate. I starts and ticks over just fine. A friend told me to check the EGR valve. I have googled to see what it looks like but I can't seem to find it on the block. On the assumption my friend is right and I should check the valve, can someone post an image or let me...

Hi all, sorry not been around, haven't been feeling the best.

Soon be doing wife's car which is starting to rattle on light throttle and I suspect it's the timing chain tensioner.

I have a DAYCO belt kit, BERU glow plugs and have yet to find a timing chain kit.

Which one is recommended by the forum?

I have done many timing belts in my time,...

Does anyone know the procedure for priming a replacement additive pump and configuring it please ?
2010 c4 gp 1.6 hdi.

So I've taken the sphere off, and found the inside of it is different to the one I intend to replace it with. It was listed on eBay as an accumulator sphere:

The one on the left is the one I bought, the right is what came off the car:

Does this matter?

Hi, I have a Citroen C4 Picasso (B78) with 1.6HDi (115) engine.

VIN - VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

I was wondering where the EGR valve location is and if it's worth taking it apart and cleaning it?

Can it be cleaned, or does it never need touching?
If it can be cleaned, is it best to just clean or replace?

I have no issues with my car, no errors or...

The problem is on a 54 Xsara Picasso Desire, where the radio has started changing channels under its own steam. 'Kin annoying when I am listening to a programme.

Any useful pointers or advice? Thanks.

If you are there Marc I need the diagram for my C5 rear parking sensors if possible. Thanks

:bd: Don't worry, I've sorted it - duff connector on sensor no. 2 Cheers :bd:

Hi
This plastic pipe keeps popping off at the back, possibly the pipe it joins onto is damaged, can anyone tell me what it's called? There was a rubber band which I've slide up to photo, I assume this isn't normal / standard?

Thanks

Hi
First time poster.......
I bought a 2004 jumpy II 1.9 D non turbo version. I got the van home and noticed the engine warning light came on intermittently when the engine was under load, normally going up a hill. The van is non turbo but it runs well and has done 140000 Kms.

Hi all,

My main car is a 15 reg Citroen C1 Feel (cheap commuting) but for some fun I have just picked up a very low mileage Citroen C2 VTS is fantastic condition.

The car drives exceptionally well for a 54 reg car. However I have noticed that there is a slight and subtle whine noise from the engine.

Can anyone who has an old C2 confirm or deny...

I have been in contact with easy diagnostics with a view to buy their full diagnostic set up for Citroen/Peugoet, i am just trying to get a second opinion on the car i just bought . if i get confirmation it is not going to an immediate money pit? i will start tooling up for all the jobs, fixing the blower would be good , thanks for explaining...

First sorry for my bad english. I have citroen c4 gp exlusive. There is ambiance light interior pack, the orange led light at the roof, under the board,on the doors. But it only working when i stop the car and open the door. It cant work when i driving. Is there problem and can i do something to check on lexia or diagbox.

If I want to clean my 2016 bluehdi airdoser/throttle body , is it ok to push on the valve flaps with my fingers to open the valve? Will it mess up some sort of calibration/ ecu stuff ?
Thanks/

Hi all, help needed please from more knowledgeable folk!

I recently purchased a 2016 Berlingo 1.6 hdi with front end damage. Unfortunately the plug that connects to the abs pump was damaged so that the pins were pulled out of the circuit board. Abs and stability control/traction control? light is lit and the touch screen reports a brake fault....

I have a rattle coming from the engine. It's more noticeable when idling or the engine is cold. I have included a video for you to look at. It's a 2015 relay 2.2hdi with 99k on the clock.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

My 2009 1.6HDi sump is stuck on by the sealant. I have all the bolts out and have unwound the 2 studs that are supposed to release the sump. From what I've read, the sump can be a bit difficult to remove because of the sealant, but I'm really surprised by just how well this is stuck.
Does anyone have experience / tips on how to get the sump off...

Just had a failure of my gear selector cable. Stuck in 3rd gear for 20 miles........ In Luxembourg on holiday. Not fun :(

Hi

I am trying to change the back lights on the climate control on my ZX. I have removed the cigarette ash try and removed 2 screws from the top and 2 screws from the back of this compartment. I have also removed the radio to get access from the top, I can't find ant more screws that I can easily remove.

Would anyone have any ideas what I need...

Hi
Could you guide me how to replace a burnt light bulb of the drl (I'm referring to the light at the bottom of the headlamp of the C5 X7. it seems that the access to it is quite tricky. do I have to dismantle the whole headlamp? it is the left hand side headlamp.
Thanx.

So, to explain my situation..........
2010 1.6hdi gp
I have p1434 and p1435 along with p0401 and pO100.
Ocassionaly I was getting a turbo overboost, but this seems to have stopped now . Car stinks of what is either diesel fumes or exhaust fumes (I can’t tell which).

After fitting a new starter motor and having a wipe around some old mucky oil patches I checked everything was back on and bolted up I turn the ignition on to be greeted with the orange low pressure warning light it flashes 40 times and that's it .

Hi Boffins, any ideas?

My 2.2 Hdi turbo Relay van always starts perfectly, but, except in warm weather, a few seconds later will belch pale smoke and lose power. This only tends to last for a minute or two, but is highly embarrassing!
I can generally clear it with a burst of acceleration, particularly uphill, but idling exacerbates it.
Only...

Hi, mechanics - do these symptoms suggest a potential cause?
My 2003 turbo-diesel Relay has long had a habit of starting perfectly - then beginning to smoke and bog down after a minute or so. Driving under load always quickly cleared it, and it ran perfectly then.

However! Yesterday, it began to smoke VERY heavily soon after startup. Again, I...

Hi
Is changing a rocker cover on a 2009 1.6 Hdi an easy job?

Looked on videos online and it looks easy, but am surprised some garages have told me it is a big job. Any advice much welcome

hi all, sorry for starting a new thread.

Can someone tell me if there are any differences between the Autobox in a C5 X7 2.0hdi (163HP RHH) and the 2.7 hdi?

I have recently bought Citroen C4, year 2013. Air conditioner doesn’t seem to blow air. Any suggestions or is it an electric breakdown?

HI, I would like to know what type of TORX Bolts are used in the front of the struts.

What type of TORX star sockets male and female are used.
Would this>> set be ok to use?

Or should I consider this one>>

I don't wish to strip the bolts.

Thank You.

I’ve tried a bit of a search on here but (probably because I’m being a bit dumb !) I can’t see anything about the following.

I know where we find our bodywork paint colour code but how do we find out the colour of our alloy wheels ? I’ve got some (pleasantly few !) scuffs on mine that would probably touch up reasonably well. However there are a...

I have found the correct part numbers on Service.Com using the Vin Number but cannot figure out the price :(
Part Numbers are 00009025Q4 and 00009025Q5 .

Thanks in advance

When I look at the rear silencer it says PSA 12 96 (it's a '97 Xantia) so I'm guessing it's the original silencer and has crumbled from within. I'm a bit worried I'll replace it and find it's actually the middle one.

For reference the exhaust is Cat + Intermediate + Rear:

If it's loud and boomy like a chav exhaust, is it likely to be the rear...
