Hi,
I came across this site while searching a P1218 code that the snap on tool came up with on transmission.
My issue is a gearbox fault that appears to be intermittent. My suspicion is the clutch is going.
When attempting to put the gear lever into Auto or semi auto it pauses then pops up gearbox fault, effectively refusing to select the forward...

Hello,
I have a problem with Citroen Jumper III, engine: 2.2 HDI 150 PUMA C
VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

The program reads the following errors:
P0423-92
and
P2002-7A

The DPF was washed, but it didn't change anything.
Where to look for the cause?
Will replacing the fuel injector help? Does it need to be specially programmed?

Come to think of it its making a squishing sound when you pull the pedal back up by hand , i was out today went to change down a gear into a junction & the pedal just hit the floor and didn't come back up , so would this be part 10 or 11 ?

Hello,

But cannot find fuse for horn. Can somoene help me and tell, where to find it?

Hi all & a Happy New Year

Well it was for me until this morning.
Parked the van yesterday and the wipers were working fine.
Switched them on this morning, nothing.
Checked the fuse, F43, it is OK, so I presume it is the motor.
I know where it is but it is beyond my capabilities to remove it to check.
Is the anything else I can do or check?
Thanks...

Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone on here can help, the other week the plug connecting to my electric pre heater core melted. I sourced replacement parts and also replaced the matrix as I only had hot air from the passenger side. I've started the car to test it but now the fans aren't blowing at all, they were blowing before I repaired it, even...

Hi all I need a hand sourcing seals. Does anyone know where I would get PTFE square profile rings.

The leds for the speed numbers are blank at the top, so a 0 now looks like a U could this be repaired. I have changed all the bulbs in the instrument panel. Would a second hand instrument panel work ok for a year 2000 Citroen xsara picasso 2HDI
My panel has the 2 socket plug connections.

I've recently changed a rear brake bulb since then...
All bulbs are working as they should but an error message come up relating to the signal light not working correctly. Right and left bulbs all working but when indicating left the indicator blinks twice the speed. When hazards are on, all the bulbs blink at their normal speed. Any idea how...

I have recently purchased a very clean, low mileage, 2007 (2006 build) Citroen Relay camper conversion. It has been running and done 1000 miles of trouble-free motoring over the summer months.
After being sat on the drive for the last 4 weeks (It was unlocked during this time) I went to move it and it would not fire. When I realised it was not...

Hey,

My 2015 year Citroen doesnt like these cold weathers in Finland.

Last start yellow engine warning light appeared and when the ignition was turned off, the radiator fan was going crazy.

I assume its some sensor fault but what?

Is there anything I can do in home?

Thanks for help.

Hi,

My wife was driving and heard something knocking, looked under the car and saw this hanging from our 09 Citroen C8.

Any ideas what it could be? She said the car was driving fine with no warning lights on the dash. It looks like a plug of some sort to me but have not had a chance to look until I am home, but some help identifying the thing...

Hi

I have a 2010 C5 X7 and the in car heating has stopped working

It did this about 12 months ago but sorted itself out ( phew )

Its been fine over Xmas ( and the -10 cold snap ) etc.. but I didn't use the car for a week or so and now I have no heating in the car ( regardless of temp / fan speeds / or using front screen demist )

According to the French car gremlin that inhabits my car, it is a hot summer day at 31°C. When in actual fact it's -2 out there.

It's playing havoc with the tyre pressure monitor and when I fold the mirrors in it throws up an electrical fault and disables the Eco function.

I haven't plugged Diagbox in yet, will get to that tomorrow in the...

How can I check what battery my car should have from the factory. It’s a c4 grand Picasso 2016 1.6 diesel. The start stop has stopped working and if I switch the radio on with the engine off it goes off in about 2 mins and when I go to start it, it comes up on the screen charging modules. Just with these happening it’s leading me to believe it’s...

Window ratchet mechanism has given up the ghost yet again on the drivers side front of my 01 Xsara.

Can someone please tell me the part number and where would be quickest place to get them?
I think the post number is 9222L1. Can this be confirmed?

Presume Marc is still on here and has access to my vin number for the cross check?

Thanks.

Hi,

I got the fault code - P0087 - Fuel high pressure regulation fuel rail pressure too low . This indicates that the HPFP (High pressure fuel pump) should be replaced. I can by one out of Aliexpress at one third of the original pump price. Does anyone have an experience with the HPFP out of Aliexpress ?

Hi, I hope you can help. I am getting the above error code on my 2019 Dispatch and the mechanic has already changed two hoses on the system which has not corrected the fault and he is at a bit of a loss now. The warning lights come on after about half an hour of motorway driving in 6th gear. I can drive around town all day long and it never comes...

Hello
I had trouble starting my car today, the starter was cranking for about 4 seconds before the engine managed to start. I drove around 200 meters down the road and during acceleration after a turn the car came with an engine fault and it entered limp mode. It was really hard to get the car up to speed. I read the following faults with a tester...

Hey guys,

I will be servicing my C5 X7(2.2HDI 204ps) this weekend and everything is clear until the fuel filter change.

Is there any special procedure of bleeding the fuel filter that I should follow, or just to prime it with the priming bulb?

Cheers! :)

Hello fellow forum members

I have a Citroen C3 1.6 BlueHdi 100 from 2016. Over some time I have noticed that my car uses more and more oil.

I have checked for oil leaks but I could not find any. It is using about 6 lines on the oil dipstick after 10000 km. I have checked the intake to the turbo and there is a small puddle of oil on the bottom...

Yesterday , after some bad connection on the battery (Already cleaned, so no more bad connection) , my work C5 Showed Parking brake Malfunction and it has an U1213 code now.
It had also P0215 (Main relay?) , but after clearing , that one didnt show up anymore.
Acording to Diagbox, the vehicle speed information received by ABS and ESP module has...

Hello Folks

My Xantia passed its MOT after a little rear sill welding. Another year of classic Citroen motoring ahead and another recommendation for Dipetane fuel additive
.

It has however started to occasionally start to go into heavy steering mode. Sometimes tight turning left, sometimes turning right. Very un nerving when travelling a speed...

Hi, I recently decided to try and fix the central locking on my Berlingo which stopped working about 3 years ago. It stopped working because a friend clicked the unlock and lock button many times quickly inside the car, and it suddenly stopped working. I thought that maybe it blew a fuse but it didn't. I know for a fact that on this Berlingo when...

Hi,
my 2009 C5 2.0 HDi 6 Sp manual has totally lost use of the cruise/speed limiter feature. The switches operate correctly but I just get a flashing 'hyphen -' mark where you would normally get to set the desired speed.
The system stopped working directly after a near side front suspension damper was replaced by a local non-Citroen workshop.

At...

Driving today and the heater in the car was blowing cold air and then temp went up to 100°c then quickly back to 90°c, then did it again slightly warmer. Stopped and checked to see the expansion tank empty. Let her cool down a bit then filled her up again to get me back home. Heater worked straight away and never above 90°c for the 5 miles back...

Hi, can anyone advise if the same pump serves the front windscreen and the headlight wash. I don't have windscreen water but do have headlight wash. I have checked pipework and nothing seems obviously blocked but no water to the windows.

Hello,
please help me diagnose the problem based on the error codes:

U1F67
U1F3E
U1F28
U1F36

The cruise control and opening/closing the doors with the remote control do not work.

All fuses ok.
Where to start your search?

Thank you and best regards.

Hello and thank you for accepting me. I have a 2016 c4 grand Picasso exclusive + 1.6bluehdi, can the main under bonnet fusebox be changed without the need for reprogramming,??. I think some damp might have got in mine and if I can’t dry it out I might have to renew it, hence the question. Many thanks.

Hi I am new to the fourm I have a citroen c3 aircross 110hp I won't to service my own car and was wanting to know what is the torque setting for the sump plug can any one help thanks

Hello all,

I have recently changed the manifold and cat on the 2011 C1. The cat had some brackets that looked like they should bolt somewhere to stop it vibrating. These were not on the cracked one that was taken off! Perhaps that is why it cracked?
Anyway. Phoned Citroen parts and they sent a support bracket for the car. Photo attached. Can't...

Hiya all

Hiya all,

Car was sitting for 1 month with cracked manifold. Manifold changed today. Battery black terminal disconnected. All good fitting new one.

When battery reconnected and car started all appeared good. Then discovered heater, power steering, wipers and electric windows not functioning. Head lights and indicators working and car....

Hi all. I stalled my Citroen Dispatch this morning on a roundabout. I couldn't start it again but managed to get it onto the verge.
Called recovery but they were in no rush. Tried a couple of times more and it sounded like the battery was weak. I left it for awhile and tried again and it started instantly. Have started it at least 20 times more...

Good morning all,

Long time no see :-)

Just a quick one hopefully.
Is there a nice diagram or images/video if how to replace the battery on my vehicle please.
I have a new Yuasa stop start battery and it is the correct one.
Looking under the bonnet there seems to be an awful lot of cover and connectors.

Cheers all

Hi my problem is when I lock my doors they instantly unlocks all the doors but not the boot that stays locked.All the locks sound like they are working. I have been round each door in turn and all seem to be engaging. I'm out of ideas now. Any help would be great.TIA

Just wanted to check if there are any quirks in doing a battery charge in situ.

I'm so paranoid about the electronics of modern cars, you just never know these days.

The voltage is getting a bit below nominal on my battery so I wanted to start doing some longer top up charges over winter.

I was considering removing he battery to do some...

Merry Christmas, everyone! (although a bit late :-D )

I've got a strange issue and I'm planning on taking my car (C5 X7 2.0 HDI) to a local dealership so they can have a look on it, but meanwhile I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the issue might be related to. It does not happen very often, but every now and again, while reversing, the...

Hi yet again im asking for advise, i have a gp 2014 mk2. Every time i brake my gearbox jumps into neutral. The clutch doesn't slip & gear change is smooth. I do have a very small oil leak on gear box but not found it yet. Would this be due to the leak or something else...many thanks in advance

Here is a challenge for those knowledgeable on Citroen/Peugeot electrics! Good luck. Under what fault condition could the following occur, both intermittent and neither reproducible at will; both on battery power, NOT on alternator?
1. The front accessories socket (supplied by the battery), continued to show 3.6V even after removing its fuse....

Hi,
I've got a Citroen C4 Picasso (2014) and my front suspension has a very slight rattle/knocking when going over bumps and turning.

When I am stationary, I can turn the steering full lock left and full lock right and I can feel a very slight knock in the steering wheel.

I have recorded in the wheel area to check for any play/movement in...

Evening all again.
