Hello,
I was wondering if anybody could help with a problem I am having with my 05 Dispatch 2.0 hdi. The van dosnt seem to rev out fully when I work the throttle from under the bonnet , I would say that it revs for three quarter of the travel of the throttle then dosnt rev out any more. I notice the van to be a bit deader than it used to be when...

Hello all

Just bought a lovely 2009 C5 but noticed that the front end is quite floaty. I know these are soft cars but... I drive lots of different cars and this one is super super floaty!

Then I noticed that selecting max height the car does not appear to reach maximum height. The rear does reach the height okay, but the front does not move at...

I've recently been considering another van and considered a new shape dispatch with the 2.0Hdi 16v engine or a new shape berlingo with the 1.6Hdi but I've seen a few Citroen relays for about the same price if not less than a dispatch , I just wanted to know if anyone has any info regarding the 2.2 Hdi in the newer shape relays ? My wife's got a...

Had to remove Lexia from my laptop after trying to install Diag.
Tried to reinstall but Lexia tells me the copy I am trying to install is older than the version already installed.

I have removed every trace of Lexia PP2000 that I can see, but somewhere on my hard drive is a reference to Lexia which is stopping re installation.

Has anyone got any...

Hi all just wondering how hard it is to replace a Picasso throttle cable as it has started to stick at high revs and a local garage have said that it has a kink in it and they want £90 to do it so out for saving a bit of cash if possible

Hi Folk,

I was on the way home tonight with my Mrs in the car when it developed and awful rubbing or grinding noise from the rear end when going around a roundabout .... I managed to find somewhere to pull in and check the car to see what the problem is and it's the bolt heads on the Caliper rubbing off the wheel, I know it's a fairly common...

So Peugeot is going upmarket to compete, I guess, against VW or Audi or BMW? Citroen will be the value brand so will this mean an end to the German C5?

DS will become a seperate brand.

Hi all,

Been considering purchasing a Lexia for forever and a day.

Can anyone tell me what information it gives over and above any other diagnostic equipment?

I know that sounds like a stupid question so I will explain.

I have recently had a P1519 error code (Coolant temp sensor) from my Snap-On diagnostic. My mate's AutoLogic (which was...

Just ordered a new unit as getting lights coming on in day light randomly.

Is there anything I need to do specially to make the new one work or is it plug and play? I have read the Haynes manual and seems easy enough to change.

The serpentine/alternator belt stripped. I've replaced it with a new one, but there's a problem.

I've checked the alignment of the belt around each pulley. When I start it up the belt around the hydraulic pulley is derailed by a couple of teeth. No mater what I've tried it still skips out of the pulley groove.

Could the tensioner immediately...

HI-- hooray forum back online

I finished the job of putting the front lower subframe back on, replaced the pinion with one from the breakers, bled the brakes etc. Strangely enough, seems to have done the trick in terms steering.

But 2 other problems have arisen:

Hello there,

I parked my 2.0 8v Xantia Automatic one day, and the next day the thing just would'nt start. Starter runs, cam belt is intact, but no spark at all.

Hi Folks,

I'm looking at buying a 52 plate C5 2.0HDI SX, it's done according to the advert 72,000 miles with a full Citroen service history but speaking to the chap selling it on the phone it doesn't show any history of a timing belt change.

My 16 year old Synergie (XUD, SX with climate control) has a fluid leak.

All the control side works - you can hear the compressor pump kick in and so on, and the system delivers air where it is told to - just not cold air. For a few years it has had some fluid loss, but it passes the vacuum test and an annual top up has kept it working. Last...

Hi,

I filled my C5 up the other day and once the pump clicked off i noticed my feet were swimming in diesel and a big puddle around the pump (i didn't force any more in so i know its not being over filled unless the pump didn't click off), upon investigation i noticed that when i pulled the cover off under the seat it was all swimming in there,...

Hi folks,
I am writing to ask if anyone has been here before. I have just stripped out the boot liner and felt because the felt is soaking wet.Traced it to two causes.

Driving at speed today the rear suspension decided to drop.
I pulled over depressurised the system and check the fluid level which was fine.
I was able to get the suspension all round up to the mid position and the high position, it seems to be happy to lower to normal, but as soon as I drove off it dropped at the back down again.
No warning...

Hi Guys,
Serious suspension fault flashing on dash, trying to fill the reservoir but it is hissing when l try to remove the cap, do l need to depressurise the system before removing cap or is this a vacum or pressure build up in the container that will sort its self out, if so how? It also says consult main dealer on the cap and in the hand book,...

Hi All,

The power steering rack has developed the following problem when you turn either right or left about half a turn on steering wheel, there is a distinct increase of resistance but after you go past this problem disappears until you return to the same point.

Is this the power steering ram showing signs of wear :?:

Oh dear.

Vehicle: Berlingo Multispace Forte, 2.0 Hdi, registered Jan 2004

I went to two well known car part suppliers (EURO and GSF) and put in my registration and got a few options that are supposed to be correct for my car.

Hi all.

I get no response from the trip computer button on the end of the wiper stalk. Has anyone encountered this. How would I go about fault finding? Also if I start removing the shroud around the steering column do I run the risk of having an airbag make a dent in my face?

All advice is appreciated.

Many thanks.

OK, so on to the next problem.

After fitting much needed new glow plugs my car was actually starting and stopping very well, for about 24hours!
After that I needed to turn the key for quite some time, along with pumping the accelerator pedal, before it would start. Thinking this was the glow plugs being faulty I messaged the seller hoping for...

1.9 IDI (DW8B/WJY series) motor.

In practical terms it comprises the cylinders/bottom end of an HDi with head, injectors and injection/timing pump of the XUD. As a late model this one has an electronic link from the cam end injector to the timing/injector pump to meet then current emissions regs. Pump etc is Lucas brand. We’ve owned it from new....

Hi,

I've got a 2004 (mk1), C5 estate.

I'm in the process of retrofitting a factory rear parking sensor kit (the line fit one, not the cheap dealer fit one)

The module is fitted and the wiring was already there for it, the rear sensors and valance are in, and connected to the module.

The problem i'm having though it finding out where to put the...

I would have thought a high mileage cat converter (170000) (in addition to the rear silencer) would seriously hamper exhaust performance due to flow restriction.

Q. What are your thoughts on exhaust performance and mileage?

Q. Have you refitted an HDI exhaust? if so, What does replacement of the main pipe to manifold entail, concerning access,...

Hi my S1 Xantia. I have just reconnected the wires to the front wheel brake sensors. someone in the distant past had decided to cut both wires ! Iam finding , sometimes that the brake pad sensor light light flickers on and off from time to time but never under braking ! any advice greatfully received, cheers Terry.

Hi

I bought a new 48 tooth reluctor ring off the net for my 2005 Dispatch however on attempting to fit it is far too large. The ring has an internal diameter of 90mm where I would say my existing ring is 85-86mm. The external diameter is fine (it is essentially a thinner ring).

I contacted UK Parts Direct who stock plenty of rings. They have...

Hello ,

we have a Lexia clone which works successfully with Diagbox on a desktop PC in our garage. We can wheel it around and it does a good job.

We have recently been given an old Laptop which works, but is too puny to run Diagbox.

It will however run an older version of the Lexia software in stand-alone, without Diagbox.

Is it ok to install...

Hello again all,

Tried searching for beeps and not much information comes up.

This is additional information to the other recent threads I have started regarding other issues.

I noticed that when I turn the ignition off on the S2 Xantia and remove the key, something beeps twice. Have seen a thread about a C5 with 3 beeps but that is on ignition...

Hiya - I have a 2004 C5 2.2HDi Exclusive auto with 34k on the clock (genuine as I bought the car from my friend last September who was the first owner and the mileage was 18k at that point). I've done 16k trouble free but all of a sudden the other day the depollution error popped up and won't go away. The only symptom I had was that I was lacking...

Dear all,

Noticed a few days back a squeal from the offside front wheel. Checked it out and found piston wont return easily. Using wind back tool, moved it in and out number of times, lubricated it but there was no dust cover and build up of dust/crud has caused caliper to pinch. I dont think any matter of winding in and out would release it as...

Hello there , recently my van has been driving along fine at 55-60 mph, then feels like it hits a massive wind barrier and the revs die right down to 2000 and I lose 10-20 mph. Then after around 30 seconds I can feel a bit of pull coming back and then its fine. Its doing this almost every journey now.

Could it possibly be the Hdi/turbo failing...

Hi all
Something I've wondered about before, but never found anybody to ask, was just brought back to mind.
While pottering about under Cit's bonnet, I noticed the second sump bung, on the front vertical face of the sump.
It's about an inch up from the bottom and looks to be the same as the bung in the bottom of the sump.
Anybody know what it's...

Do you know if either an A/C pump or, alternator from a Xantia TD would fit a Xantia HDI?

Got hold of a 1999 Xantia HDI 110bhp estate yesterday.

Apart from the usual stuff, which I can handle, I have a couple (three) of questions:

- concerned about exhaust flow in what appears to be original catted item: I have a recent clean straight through system and box on my old 1.9 TD estate. Could this be used? Should I be concerned about...

Was in the local mot station getting one of the centerless alloys re balanced. They've recently started a engine re mapping service, for £300. I declined their kind offer but with the massive improvement since the E-crofting diode mod, to the suspension, the thought occurred to me that possibly a suspension ecu could be re mapped too.
Has anyone...

Hi all,

Drove the S2 yesterday. Sylv had said that the steering was getting heavy a while ago.

It's pretty worrying at times.

I find the search on the forum difficult to extract certain results. If you type in heavy steering it ignores heavy. I only found one thread for an Activa through that search which had the same issue.

Any tips on what...

Hi all

Its a hdi 2.2

Jumped in car this morning and starter motor turn but nothing happened.

So thought strange.

Tried again then eventually engine imboliser fault appeared.

Any help please

Finally got Cit into the testing station yesterday and came away with a fresh cert.
That's much better, as I wasn't super keen on driving around with out-of-date paperwork in the windscreen, no matter how sure I was that all required repairs had been carried out.
Slightly annoying is the fact that I repaired the advisories too, but yesterday's...
