Hi All,

My C4 is throwing a hissy fit with the N/S door mirror.
It folds in when you lock the car but will not fold out when unlocked. I can hear the motor trying now and then when trying to unlock the car.
Have not delved into it with Lexia yet but it seems as if it has lost its bearings if that makes sense.
Is there anyway i can disable the...

I have had a dash alert about ABS/traction control on my 2001 C5, so I've cleaned the wheel sensors as a first measure in case that is the cause. Not having a code reader/clearer I'm wondering how far it needs to be driven, or how many starts etc it takes for the dash alerts to clear themselves if I've actually manged to fix the problem? Or is it...

I have previously posted that I had issue with the rear washer activating the front, and was quite rightly told that the flapper unit failed. As such, I replaced the pump for a new one.

The new one is weak, which makes me think that I have a bad motor, but before I go trying to replace it again, I wonder if anyone here has fixed low pressure...

Is there a way to measure the force sensor in EPB unit :?:
and has anyone replaced it :roll:

I recently tried to update my Grand C4 Space tourer firmware and maps, i mainly wanted the maps update but thought why not do both. After searching google i now know the firmware was a bad idea as i have had it go wrong like many others. I was wondering if anyone has had any success in getting the update to work after its gone wrong.

I'm about to replace the drive shaft oil seal on my wife's C3 VTR this weekend. I've had a look underneath and it doesn't seem that difficult to get at, especially once the under tray is removed.

Anybody done this and any tips or things to avoid when I do it.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I need some help to try and fix the immobiliser issue on my nemo 2015 1.3diesel.

Hi all..

So.. Who can answer this... After getting the wiring diagrams etc I set out looking while sitting.. At the wireing to see why there's no life from the cooling fan..

Spent 2.5 hours checking every wire from the three relays and every single wire checked out with continuity.. No shorts.. No corrosion.. Everything checks out.. So checking...

At least for now we can stop worrying about their availability. Or is it just me? Anyway I've found one made in September 2025: yJpP4h98hZ3lrrM2GAgcXenfNfE-1920.jpg source:

Hi,
Thought I would share a recent experience with a false 'boot tailgate open' warning on dashboard, on my Citroen DS5 Blue 1.6HDi 2014.

I started getting a warning ping and message telling me the boot was open. In fact it was properly closed. The ping continued every time I started up or went below 5 miles an hour. Very very annoying. Soon...

Hi everyone, I’ve got a 2014 Berlingo 625 Enterprise HDi 75 and it’s got some proper electrical weirdness.

Horn: The horn doesn’t work at all when I press it (engine on or off). But sometimes with the key out it will randomly beep a few times. In heavy rain it even went off solid for about a minute, so I pulled the horn fuse.

My o6 failed on simple things but the hydraulic pipe may be a downfall.

Can you still get parts for this?

Offside Front Suspension pipe leaking (5.3.5 (c))

.The garage thay did the MOT hadn't seen a c5 before!! So even the hydraulic pipe may be an issue.

Is this a tricky job for non specialist or does anyone know of a specialist in East...

Hi guys,
First of all thanks to the people who run this forum!
My 2018, 2008 1.2 Allure has a problem? Advice needed please.
I changed the cambelt. Now there is blue smoke coming from the exhaust. Seems worse after pausing at traffic lights??
It was fine before.

Hello all!
I’m new with Citroëns, and just bought a C5 break 2.0petrol with automatic transmission.
Now, the problem the car has, is that the rear hydraulics isn’t working, but in front it is raising correctly when operating on the buttons. The list i’ve already done:
-cleaned contacts of the rear height sensor
-cleaned the rear stiffnes...

I have heard that my cousin is to buy another 2CV. He already has one rotting in his garden & another rotting, but still being used. Anyway apparently the new one is automatic (this is according to my mother, who is 85 and knows nothing of cars, even Citroens!). Is this right is there such as a thing as a 2CV auto?

So the left tie rod end (or is it called track rod end?) is bad on my 2014 Cactus 1.6 BlueHDI.

For the left side I can find two parts with different diameters. One with total length of 200 mm and inner thread M 10 x 1,25 mm / outer M 14 x 1,5 mm
and one with total length of 210 mm and inner thread M 16 x 1,5 mm / outer M 10 x 1,25 mm.

Hello,

Does someone know how to find correct diameter clutch kit (before removing the old one...) for 2014 Citroen GP 1.6 diesel AUTO? Clutch was replaced 5 years ago. Now Im starting to feel slipping symptoms again....is 5 years and 160K km ok for clutch?
Online part shops offer 2-3 diferent diamer clutch kits.

Hello fellow Citroen owners and experts. I'm the proud owner of a 2014 Citroen C4 grand picasso exclusive+ etg6 and must admit I'm actually liking the car considering I've downgraded from a 2011 range rover 4.4 overfinch. The reason is because my partner just passed her test and I wanted something cheap to insure for us both. A friend recommended...

I am aware that sometimes, just sometimes, I am the cause of problems on my C5 Tourer!

Since I gave the old girl a very thorough pressure washing (including all the door shuts etc), she looks nice and clean.
However....
When opening the electric tailgate, I now have to endure a noise much closer to the sound of a dying elephant than a simple...

Hello all,

I hope I haven't posted this in the wrong place but I coldn't find anything CANBUS orientated.

Sadly, I have never got to be friends with my Lexia, and it is sitting in my study unused, and I am only able to report via my TOPDON diag box
Yesterday evening, on leaving a friend's house, starting the car produced a light show never seen...

I need urgent help as I have to change the engine oil.
Very confused. I done it once and get confused now : B71 2312 or B71 2010 ?

Hello everyone. This is my first post. Thank you in advance.

The check engine light came on, so I looked at it with an OBD checker and suspected the fuel rail pressure sensor. The twisting pressure value sometimes shows a normal value (6MPa) and sometimes shows a strange value (0.7MPa).
Since the sensor...

Hi,

Just wanted some advice regarding a possible issue with our car... It's a 1997 Xantia 1.8L SX Auto.
My wife inherited it from her father, who had it from new. To say she looks upon it with sentimentality would be an understatement.
It doesn't currently get a lot of use, but as a whole we're keen to keep it in a running condition. I believe it...

Hello.

Further to a recent post about compression test results on a TU1 engine I'm looking at changing the valve stem oil seals on this engine.

I wondered if anybody has done this job successfully without removing the cylinder head?

I was thinking of using a tool similar to that in this link:-

I know I'll need to stop the valves from...

Xantia HDi 2000 airbag light is on. It needs an airbag light squib - any sources please and/or does it fit other vehicles? (I've seen the one on ebay from Lithuania - I've used them before, but the part hadn't been removed carefully and wouldn't work. I did get a refund, but it was just a waste of time). TIA.

Hello guys,
Does anyone know is there a wiring hidden for footwell ligthing in Citroen C4 2017,i would like to conenct it myself since it came without that option when i bought it. And if someone had the experience with that it would mean a lot to me.

Thanks in advance

The Lucas EPIC Injection Pump as used on the XUD11BTE engine as fitted to 2.1TD Xantias and later 2.1TD XMs is generally reliable but can suffer leaks and problems with the ESOS valves. Both are relatively easy to resolve but need the pump to be fully disassembled. This is a guide on how to do just that and covers the complete disassembly and...

In Lexiating an '02 C5 today, I had course to delete a fault that required me to put in the mileage and log the deletion accordingly.

That took the number of logged entries to thirteen, and had me wondering what happens when you reach the maximum of fifty - do the oldest ones tip off the back end? Or is the ECU/CPH/dash now dustbin material,...

Hi

My rear brakes suddenly started grinding. On investigation I found the rear caliper appeared to be out of line and is scraping against the inside of the wheel - metal against metal.

Are the bolts likely to have bent - is it best to fit a new caliper with new bolts.

Hi all , new to this forum and hoping I can get the help I need with my 2008 mk2 dispatch.

I was on a walk round New Brighton yesterday and saw these two 2CVs in the drive of a house. The van is definitely a long-term project for someone while the saloon looks much more roadworthy. I particularly liked the two plastic tie-wraps holding the yellow bonnet on to the black van!

Hello, does anyone know the name or part number of the connector in the picture? It is a 2 pin unsealed connector used mainly for interior lighting (footwell, boot etc.). I have been looking all over the internet but I just couldn't find it. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi All
I am thinking of investing in a Lexia diag system due to on going faults with my C5 2011, namely wiper problems. What is the best type to go for, any recommended links to trusted sellers.

Hello all. Been a long time since I used this forum, but this would seem a good time to start again... because:

Citroen C6. A nothing-special 1007 2.7hdi.

Currently away from home, went to start it after a few days, and it was in economy mode (no surprise). Dashboard came to life, turned the key and it just barely attempted to crank. ooh, that's...

Hi all,

Hopefully somebody can shed some light on this issue I’m facing. I have a 2012 1.6 Citroen C4 which has developed an ABS fault. I had the same fault but on left side a few months back and fixed it by replacing the sensor. So I thought I’d replace the sensor on the right hand side but fault was still there. So I proceeded to change the ABS...

Hey guys
Need to replace ABS pump on my Citroen c8. Checked eBay and google etc for the code on top of my abs pump. The code is 0 265 235 486.

Could someone with experience working on these pumps please tell me if there is other pumps that will fit and work or must it...
