Last post

On a Xantia, the LHM tank gets distorted by the pressure of the spring clip which holds the top on, causing the sealing face to become saddle-shaped, so that for some of the circumference there is no pressure on the seal, and they nearly always leak.

I have had some success with cleaning the seal and tank top then applying a layer of oil-proof...

C4 VTS - Adding front parking sensors

by lancia58 » 08 Dec 2018, 10:29

First post

Hi

My 2006 2.0 16v C4 VTS has rear parking sensor. I want to add front parking sensor. IIRC I read in a forum that in C4 VTS the harness for front parking sensors is installed and only the sensors should be installed as well as configuring the BSI . How can I know if the harness in installed ?

Zohar

Last post

I doubt it, the harness is probably tucked up behind the bumper - and as you don't already have the front obstacle detector sensors fitted, there won't be any reason for the wiring to be dropped down at each sensor point - so the sensor wiring drop down wires may be clipped / tied to the main loom. A bit of investigation work will be involved.

If you are programming the key itself (as if you bought a new key fob), yes you will need the confidential customer code. This would of been supplied on a card with the vehicle. If you no longer have it, Citroen can supply this to you for about £15. You should be able to obtain your Key code (which is the code needed to cut a new key blade and is...

Citroen C8 - keyfob problem

Good evening, all!

About a couple of weeks ago, the remote control / keyfob for our Citroen C8 stopped working, so we have been manually locking the doors using the key.

I finally got round to taking the CR1620 battery out, testing it to confirm that it was low / needing replacement and then ordering 2 new batteries.

These arrived today and I...

That looks like a resistor and should be easy enough for someone with decent soldering skills to replace.

Hello

As some might remember, I've had coolant issues on the c4. Turns out that it's leaking from the thermostat housing(plastic had cracked).
Now, as I have access to service.citroen, I've put my VIN in and found the thermostat and bought it. But there's a problem, my new thermostat doesn't look like my old thermostat. Opening and piping are the...

Ahh, I get it :)
But both can be taken care of using a good clamp :mrgreen:

One of my dipped lights went a while ago and I thought I'd buy 2 of those fancy white xenon type jobbywotsits, make the front like a lighthouse, what could possibly go wrong. Well they are crap, yep white light instead of sort of yellow ish but noticeably dimmer.

Anyone else changed...……….for the better and what were they!

Hi all,
I own C5 II break, 2.0 HDI 100kw without FAP.
Everything is fine, except in my opinion, the engine is getting very hot too quick when towing relatively small caravan (old Adria with approx. full weight 850-900kg). On long hills on motorway and when hot outside (35 C), I was forced to shift down to 3rd gear and slowdown to about 70km/h to...

Well here we are again and 85k on the clock and I am pleased to say that my 2011 e-hdi 1.6 auto is still going strong. I have noticed today that the clutch seems to slip a bit in between gear changes . ( . i think the clutch may be on its way out.)
But all in all I am still impressed with the car and engine and the gearbox. [-o<

Hi guys!

I have problems with the steering rack leeking on my Citroen C5, I want to try Omega 917, because of the leakage is small. Someone used this product and had results?

And I also want to change the steering fluid, someone have a DIY on how to flush the steering fluid? And witch fluid should I buy?

Thanks!

Last post

If you've never changed a clutch before then it's quite a time consuming and awkward job to attempt. Please bear in mind that if your mechanic is going to change the crankshaft seal then he would have already done 95% of the same work that is required to change the clutch. It takes hours to get to split the gearbox from the engine, but only (quite...

The side light thing is really only to take out any surges and is something I always do given the sensitivity of and the number of ECUs and circuits on the X7 and most of the newer cars today. It's no hassle and is precautionary, but up to the individual. I always include it for that reason.
