Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

This may be of interest to Members with older vehicles where getting parts is a struggle and for those not already aware of the site.

PSA are embarking on a project to provide some supplies of original and re manufactured parts for older vehicles and classics, and have made it a...

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

That's the Trailer Double Relay - probably part of the optional BSR unit you can buy for plugging the towing electrics loom into - which connects to the vehicles electrical systems.

This is the BSR trailer unit: It is purchased separately.

C4 Squeak When Pressing Accelerator

First post

Hi all. First post here. I've been driving my C4 (1.6 2008) for a couple of months now, and it has developed an intermittent squeak when the accelerator is pressed. It's external, not the pedal itself. I've done some searching, but can't seem to find anything that sounds like my situation. This squeak occurs every time I press the pedal, and lasts...

Last post

Getting quieter as the engine warms implies that something is expanding slightly and reducing the rubbing which is causing the squeak... could indeed be many things but I'll stick with the throttle body for the moment... :-D Could run a book on this one.. :)

If I remember correctly, what happened is normal. If you switch off with the car in gear and then move to N before starting, the car will not start. You have to go back, as you did, to the switch-off position ie in the same gear as you were to reset.

Hello.

First of all, I apologize for translating with google and for help.

I have a car problem. Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDi 66kw year 2001 TYPE engine RHY.

When my daughter was driving with him. Last month she used it too. He switched off while driving. Only this I know to say.

We dragged him home. Calling one and the other mechanics with various...

Hmm? I disconnected all three connectors. See pictures. Interestingly, the symptom is the same. The car ignites and immediately extinguishes.

Now I think the computer ...

What do you think?

2015 C5 DW10FD WIRING DIAGRAM NEEDED

by Johnd993 » 09 Jun 2019, 18:29

First post

I need a wiring diagram for 2015 DW10FD 2.0 Hdi diesel. Or pin chart to identify wiring around engine. (Especially TPS / accelerator /ECU.)
Anyone help? That engine has been out since around 2014 or even earlier in the C4 Picasso so must be one available by now?

Last post

John, what actual codes are you getting from your reader? It may be a code I can refer to an earlier Delphi system for a better explanation.

Does this sensor exist on my x7?

by petef » 22 Jun 2019, 11:28

First post

In an attempt to avoid what might become the need to replace the turbo on my 2009 138 2litre hdi, I have replaced the turbo charger pressure regulation electrovalve (part no 1618X2) and also the boost pressure sensor (part 1920CZ). Ignoring the fact that I managed to break the second sensor - it is a very tight fit in the hole in the manifold and...

Last post

I have documented the symptoms before - car goes into limp mode on prolonged severe acceleration uphill, and Lexia indicates boost pressure too high. Power returns on restart and fault can be cleared and eml light switched off in Lexia. Probably the vanes in the turbo are sticking, but for a few quid I wanted to try everything else first............

Nemo roof rails

I've just bought a 2009 Citroen Nemo and I'm wondering how to fit some roof rails. Has anyone done this and if so is there a guide orvideo anywhere that you know of please? Thanks in advance.

Last post

Just a little word of caution for you, the citroen Nemo is more Fiat than Citroen; it’s one of those joint collaboration jobs. A lot of the ECUs and certainly the head units for the stereo are all proprietary Fiat branded, this can make diagnosis difficult in the event of any problems, just for you to be aware.

Also any diagnosis using a Lexia...

1.6HDi, DV6TED4 engine. The car failed MOT on excessive smoke. It off the scale. The engine was hot and I had dipethane already added. TBH you can see plumes of black smoke sometimes in the rear view mirror. I'm not sure where to start air filter is new and no leaks on inlet side. There is oil building up in the air intake chamber after the turbo...

Could be a different test in the ROI. But the tests just got a lot more stricter here with limits reduced for smoke - as in DPF vehicles aren't allowed any visible smoke.

Fan speed when reversing.

by Jetjockey » 20 Jun 2019, 01:34

First post

Hello.

I’ve noticed a feature on my recently acquired 2008 C5 exclusive tourer. When selecting reverse gear (automatic), the climate control fan speed increases. :?

Can anybody shed any light on the reasoning behind this?

Thank you. :)

Last post

It's all down to the Air Quality Sensor on the Dual Zone Climate system.

When the system is put into automatic comfort mode, the air quality sensor analyses the air. When it detects pollutants, it isolates the exterior airflow to the passenger compartment. So it activates air recirculation mode. Of course it can't detect bad smells - only...

Just a quick question, can you replace the bearings on the auxiliary drive belt idler pulley?

C5 X7 Rear Parking Sensors: External rear right sensor coherence

by mikevybiral » 14 Jun 2019, 11:17

First post

New to me 2008 C5 X7 2.0 HDI VTR+

Fault code: 98D3

I gather this suggests a short circuit to +ve.

(Use of the word 'coherence' suggests to me a mistranslation from French? What should it be?)

So, where to look?
Could this be a defective sensor elsewhere? (I've replaced the rear right sensor).
Could the fault be in the loom? If so is there a...

Last post

I've disconnected the parking sensors and tested the loom for short or open circuit to the RH sensor connector. No fault found. I've moved the sensors around. Now Lexia shows fault ABC8, rear R sensor shorted to +ve.
I'm at a loss?
I do apologise - there are a hundred codes for the system and I actually gave you the wrong sensor location for the...

Hi

My coolant expansion pipe (the very thin rigid plastic pipe with two click lock connectors that go into the radiator and the coolant expansion tank) is leaking at the radiator end. Unfortunately it is not the O ring as the coolant is squirting out where the pipe meets the connector.
I have looked for a replacement pipe but I am not having any...

The bay of evil and other such places sell a lot of overpriced tat - even sellers that do sell the genuine original parts don't check the current prices before listing the item. The parts from Citroen directly can often be cheaper as you have just discovered. :-D

Replacing timing belt without water pump

Good evening from Sweden!

My wife's just bought a 2007 Citroën C4 1.6 HDI, 110 bhp with 89 000 km on the meter. Lovely car, but there's one fly in the soup. The timing belt was replaced last year, but not by an authorized garage. The job was done by a reconditioning firm. They replaced the belt and wheels, but not the water pump :shock:

Three of our family cars are coming up to the low mileage/10 year change time. The C5X7 will be a first-time change (63K) when pulleys and water pump will be done. The Saxo and Pug 306 I did in 2009 and on both, I just did the belt. This time they'll get a new pump as well.

Last post

Let’s clear up the confusion:

If you are buying direct from Citroen, use the 6500CK number.
If you are buying second hand from the internet, make sure you have the matching 9658539480 number on the unit label. Ignore the other numbers. You can search using 6500CK, but make sure when you locate units to buy, that it has the same number as...

SOS button red light?

Hello all. :)

Recently purchased a 2008 C5 Exclusive tourer. Got a red LED illuminated above the SOS button on the Navidrive control panel. Also, the display blanked once and the system seemed to reboot when the LED illuminated.

Can anybody tell me what this means/indicates?

Many thanks. :-D

Last post

Ok, so I thought you had a NaviDrive 3D System (NG4)! Sounds like you don’t in that case, but probably have the RT4 system? Pop up your VIN so I know exactly what you do have and I can help you further. I should of asked for it earlier, but assumed wrongly when you mentioned NaviDrive.

I noticed a leak and found that at some point a hose had been changed but a jubilee clip had been used instead of the proper crimping tool, I changed the...

Last post

Also, avoid later DV6 engines at all costs due to turbo failures. I would qualify that by saying that the later DV6C engines, which went back to an 8-valve head are very reliable (so far!) and give a very nice balanced power output - certainly in 1.6 120BHP guise.

Right Hand Side front strut has started leaking enough to need replacing. My local Indy wanted £485 to do the job but this included £357 for the strut itself which he said he would have to get from Citroen. I have managed to source a strut on line for £199 which is sold as a Genuine Citroen part - no 5271 L6 - and comes complete with Citroen...

Not certain about LDS system, but if fluid level drops really low on LHM, there is the possibility of air being drawn into the system. Aerated LHM can produce knobbly/notchy/weak power steering, and harsh suspension, the latter giving the impression of a 'suspension fault'. Failure to bleed an LHM system by the correct procedure can also give...
