Hello all,

New here (also new with Citroen, I was a Renault man for 25 years...), I am asking for help in getting the glove box and it's lid back to place.

It took a lot of efforts to get it out, so I can replace one of the plastic parts for the climate control system. On the way, I have separated the lid from the box, and now it seems...

Hello!

I'm having problems with my car.
Sometimes, when i try to start the car the following happens:

What can it be?

PS: i have a LPG kit

Come back to my van to notice a pool of liquid on the floor. Got underneath and found it's around the plastic(?) piece that bolts onto the back of the block.

From what I can see though it's coming out the bolt, which is odd.

Any reason not to unbolt it so I can inspect what's going on?

I bought my c2 like this it has a gt nsf wing on and it doesn't sit flush with car the front bumper has been replaced before and doesn't sit right as well as the bonnet doesn't sit flush on passenger side as it does on drivers I dunno what to do I don't want to spend lots of money I'll attach photos

What is the latest year of C5 before the X7? What diesel engines were available on those models?

Hiya's,

Thanks

Hi, Pl ease forgive me if I am on the wrong forum page. I am new and not sure how to use the site yet.

I am thinking of buying a C5 1.6Hdi 2005 VTR. The MOT was done very recently and although it passed there is an advisory. Although I have limited general maintenance and repair skills I have no experience with the C5 and in particular the...

This refers to a C5 Mk2 Hdi Automatic year 2006 with 80500 on the clock and looked after reasonably well.
The Auto gearbox oil was changed at 65000 mile and the engine oil at 80200 as part of its recent turbo repair and DPF Depollution related issues sorted so it was a pleasant experience to drive it on the M4 last weekend heading towards Wales,...

Good evening from Mullion Cove Cornwall.

An update on our Citroen C5 2005 Petrol.

Service documents several years before we purchased the car mentioned a rattling catalytic converter.

I listened under the car and sure enough the noise was from the cat.

It also rattled as if full of dried peas if tapped hard.

We replaced the cat, the old one...

When I first bought my '09 2.0HDi, I was very impressed with its service history - nice and detailed, invoices included, stamps in the book etc. Its a one-previous-owner car with 75k miles recorded - the guy I bought it from had had it dealer-serviced till it was 3 years old, then used a local garage. According to the history, it was last serviced...

Hi
My Relay 2.2 (2007) is having running problems - randomly it looses power which seems to be when warm and changing gear. An example would be changing up from 1st into 2nd, the van looses power (from the point it’s in 2nd) and it won’t accelerate as though it’s bogged down, however if you change upto into 3rd it seems to drive again but not...

So after driving for a few days with what I thought was a stone lodged in the brakes, I decided to investigate the source of a squealing / grinding noise. From the outside there appeared to be plenty of material left on the rear pads.....

However a proper look gave a much different view:

What you can see is the backing plate, the inside brake...

Hello

I just bought a berlingo 2.0 hdi . When I made a test drive I unfortunately did not notice that the first gear does not want to go in very smoothly. Is it a sign of bad synhros? Other gears go in nicely.

Hi I've just purchased a 2005 citroen c2 1.1 design and my clutch has a very high biting point well it's basically when you take your foot off the clutch pedal and I've became concerned about it because it had a new clutch 2 years ago according to person who I bought it off and sometimes it stinks of clutch inside the cabin of the car ? And I...

I have recently spent over a significant amount on a Citroen specialist to have the clutch and Dual Mass flywheel changed on my 2008 C5, diesel 138bhp.

My issue is that it is now very difficult to select Reverse and First gear. This was noted in the first few days, 500 miles / 3 weeks on it has not improved.

I am reluctant to return to them as...

For the first time in more than sixty years I'm entrusting one of my cars to someone else for repair.

The C5 is overdue for a timing belt change, on the age not the mileage, so I've opted to take up Citroen's fixed price deal at the main dealer.

Just couldn't be bothered to do it myself this time, keep being told that at 83 I shouldn't be...
