Afternoon,

My C6 2.7 is creeping up to its interval for the timing belt to be changed.

Having had a look at parts it appears that there are two belts - the main timing belt that looks fairly typical, and then a separate belt from one of the camshaft sprockets to the injection pump.

Are these both recommended to be changed at the same time or...

Hi. My first post on this forum. From 1994 until 2018 I drove XMs, with just two cars lasting all that time if we ignore the tatty 2.5 diesel that I shouldn't have bought. The V6 XM suffered the standard pipe over back axle problem in 2018 and I wasn't up for repairing due to a back injury. Enter a C8 with about 80k miles and 96k now. It has been...

Hi there, dumb question.
My newly purchased Citroen c5 2012 keeps washing rear windows randomly, automatically, not only in R gear, but also when moving forward. So it consumes a lot of fluid.
It is a auto function which can be disabled or this could be sign of electrical problems? 😂
For this problem, i think VIN code is not neccessary.

Does anyone know the interval for this car please? And what should I be paying for a time belt and water pump replacement?

I'm running a MK1 C4 1.6HDI, which I feel close to replacing. It's a bit of a banger with a few niggles. Slight play in steering, oil leak, leaking washer tank and now the starter motor has just gone on it.

Annoyingly, I was trying to get it to it's MOT this coming Friday, and decide what to do dependent on the result. The car is pretty banged...

Hi!
I am having issues with my 2007 C4 gp 1.6hd 9hz. It has 120k km on the clock.
About a month ago I replaced the injector return line, because it was cracked, and was spilling diesel all over the place in the engine bay. The car worked just fine for about two weeks I parked it one night, and the next morning the engine at idle would shake like...

Hi, I've read the post about repairing the electrical tailgate. Thought I'd posted in it but maybe it's too old.

I'd rather just replace the struts with normal, non electrical replacements. Mine is a 2012. Estate.

Anyone know if this is possible? Where to source etc.

Door button still working. Just the struts aren't, so simple struts would...

With Faplite , while connected to the X7 , i realized that Atmospheric Pressure shows a bit above what is read in the 2004 2.2 Hdi , at the same altitude.

Hi!

My passenger wiper has just given up the ghost.

It was delayed behind the drivers side one by about half a second, went up.. And never came back down..

Its now stuck in the vertical position and doesn't move at all. Drivers side still works fine..

It does feel a little loose - I'm guessing this might be the linkage between the two?

Thanks!

Hi,

Firstly as a Newbie I'd like to say Hello to you all.

My question is regarding my 2014 2.0lt HDI Diesel Dispatch.

Hi all,

I need to replace the battery on our 2017 c4 GP. It's a diesel with start stop.

I can do the switch myself but noticed that the manual says a mechanic should do it and I'm concerned that if I change the battery specs (which I want to), the software needs to be updated.

We live in Sweden with cold winters. The diesel heater is draining...

Could anyone shed any light on this on a service sheet for the van it says BERLINGO VU (K9)-DV5RE 55KW 1.5L DIESEL THEN THE VIN NUMBER i have noticed a manufacturer sticker on the side of the engine with various bar codes and long numbers and letters the only one i can make any sense of is the engine number by cross referencing with the log book...

I'm fitting a diesel heater into my Citroen dispatch 2014 and wondering if the picture below is an auxiliary fuel line which would save me dropping the tank to put the diesel heater fuel line in.

The capped pipe is sitting just above the tank.

The schematic from Citroen doesn't seem to help much, unless it is part 10 but I think...

Could I get a part number for a Citroen Xantia front windscreen wiper motor.

I'm pretty certain it's fried as I bumped into the wiper switch while the wipers were frozen stuck. I'm certain it's not the fuse as other things on the same fuse such as windscreen washers still work.

From what I've heard they're a right pain to swap out so if anyone...

Hello all,

In my Citroen C4 grand picasso mark 2 there is a plastic tray covering the underneath of the car. I assume is to protect the engine, exhaust and other parts from water splashes?

Hi!

Been having issues with the aircon leaking out within a week of regassing.

Mobile mechanic said the centre vents are leaking, he picked it up with a sniffer.

Thinks it might be the evaporator.

Does anyone know how easy this is to access?

He thinks it'll be an entire dash removal, which makes it not viable...

Thanks!

Hi,
I've just had a new starter motor fitted and after I picked the car up from my indie mechanic, I noticed that the car had a lack of power (putting foot down to go uphill and nothing happens!) and really clunky auto gear changes. The cruise control has also stopped working and the engine runs on a bit after the ignition is switched off like the...
