Glow-plug relay and control

by white exec » 06 Oct 2018, 21:08

First post

Have been trying to collect some info on GP pre-heat and post-heat control, for our diesel engines.

On all engines, the GPs are switched by the heavy-duty GP relay (capable of handing up to 70A or so):
- some of these relays provide a fixed period of pre-heat (eg 7 secs) only
- others provide a post-heat too, which continues to power up the GPs...

Last post

Hope this sheds some light Chris. The wax stat cable goes to the fast idle lever on the pump. The fast idle lever is connected to a contact switch which is in turn connected to an 'electromagnetic timing device'. The 12v feed actually travels in the opposite direction, i.e. from the fuel solenoid in to the timing device then on to the contact,...

Hi all.
This is following on from my recent posts about the clutch problem I was having.
While at the garage having a new clutch fitted - a job they said was a nightmare- it seems a pipe has split and is leaking LHM.
I think I've identified the pipe but I can't work out where it comes or goes to. I think it goes to the front height corrector but I...

Last post

As you say, flare fittings are what should be used for repairs, if not complete new pipes.
Original Citroen hydraulic joints included flares (eg on 10mm Hydractive piping, where the pipe couples with a valve or strut), or olive/bulge-and-rubber sleeve for the smaller pipes (6.35, 4.5, 3.5mm) where the bulge is formed from the steel pipe itself....

Front parking sensors (aftermarket)

I have seen an aftermarket front parking sensor kit that I like the look of. Its a 4 sensor kit that it actuated by a press on the brake pedal and stays on for a short while after the brake press. Ideal for parking my auto C5.

On my C5, someone had installed front parking sensors, the cables came through the bulkhead behind the brake pedal itself as there was a grommet there.

I'm honestly not sure if the brake switch you need to access is on the drivers side or passengers side in the RHD C5's. There are plenty of places to tap power from at the fusebox via the use of a...

Oh and the noise is absolutely the turbo. It almost sounds like a bearing quickly followed by a wastegate when I lift off. It almost sounds like there is a pipe loose.

Xantia 2.0 HDi

I can't find a torque figure for the eccentric tensioner in my BOL :?:

Probably because my manual doesn't include HDI but it's still annoying :rofl2:

Is there one :lol:

Please and Thank You .....

Crankshaft sensor location Xsara Picasso 2.0 automatic 54 plate

Hi.
Has anyone changed the sensor and knows where it is? I’ve got the Haynes Manual but the picture of the sensor is different to the one the garage gave me (which is the same as the one for the 1.6 on the previous page of the manual.)
I think I’ve found it underneath and to the left of the gear selector cable but it’s a nightmare to get to so I...

I need to change the number plate light on the back of my estate, but my fat fingers mean that although I was able to just remove the old one, I have dropped and broken 3 replacements. I tried to remove the holder, but can't seem to figure out how it pops out, and even if I could, would it make a difference. Any ideas?

Also the electric front...

1.6 HDi cutting out on idle and "yank" while accelerating slowly

I have a strange problem. It's a C3 HDi -07 with the 109hp engine. Has DPF. I've had it for about 6 months and have been driving about 12000 km so far. Has 180000km on the meter (sorry if my english isn't OK).

Sometimes when I start the engine (cold) it's cutting out efter 4-5 seconds. Not always but the idle is dipping and will do so every...

Won’t cause any problems apart From putting engine light on . If you disconnect and try it just to see if it makes any difference.

e-HDi eco mode battery voltage

by onix45 » 27 Sep 2018, 08:42

First post

Hello,

Does anyone know at what battery voltage the start-stop function stop working because the battery is considered too low?
For some reason i think it was 12,5V but i am not certain.

Or is it related to the battery charge percentage? I do recall the threshold being 75% cahrge, but surely there has to be an equivalent voltage for 75%?

Last post

Ok, these are the conditions that have to be met for the engine to stop when using the system - there are USER conditions and SYSTEM conditions:

User conditions allowing the engine to be stopped: System conditions allowing the engine to be stopped:
Stop and start function activated
Cabin temperature corresponding to the driver’s requirement...

Hi, I need to remove the rear bumper to replace the rear parking sensors, There is a tow bar fitted so restricting the access, I will also be replacing this tow bar as a previous owner has lost the removable hitch and being a Citroen part its almost imposible to find a replacement.
Has anyone any instructions?
Many thanks Jim

Last post

As far as I'm aware Stu fitted and OEM original kit - not an aftermarket one. Each OEM system has a different parking assistance ECU. Jim, the front has to switch off at speeds in excess of 30 KMH on the OEM system.

If you are fitting an aftermarket one, the matter is irrelevant as they will have nothing to do with the OEM system and you cannot...

Hello good people of French car forum,

I am on my fifth hydro Citroën and a dedicated hydro fan. My current car is a 2011 C5 tourer 165hp Exclusive, very nice indeed but it's about time for a new(er) car and since someone at Citroën got it wrong and ordered the stop of hydro, I am in the market for my last hydro car. It's going to be yet another...

Thank you very much for your replies. I've now gone and bought a 2015 C5 Crosstourer with 2.2 Hdi 200 and all the nice extras. Found it in Germany so I had the chance to test it on the 700+km drive home. It is a in all regards a step up from my previous 2.0 Hdi 163 Exclusive with a manual gearbox. The new one is quiter, pulls a lot stronger and...

Does that fit to the berlingo from 2003 as well? They say it fits to peugeot partner up to 2006 but no words about citroen berlingo. Are not they the same?

Yes. That’s why we ask for your VIN. Parts may look the same but vehicle fitment is different and there are subtle differences.

'99 Dispatch: Can't change blower fan speed. Where does this wire go?

I suddenly lost the ability to control the blower's speed and have taken a look at the wires to see what's going on.

The fan is working, albeit on very low. If I remove the fuse it shuts off entirely. It is receiving the 14V feed.

I followed the wire from the fan speed control in the centre panel and found it's loose. It has 0-8V depending on...

C4 Grand Picasso problems?

by sparksie » 25 Sep 2018, 01:32

First post

Hi all
Given my good experience with my Xantia, I'm in the right frame of mind to rescue another Citroen.
This one is a C4 Grand Picasso, with the 1.6HDI, from 2009.
I've never seen one in the flesh, much less worked on one, so I'd be interested in your opinions/experiences.
The one I'm considering has a seized engine, so I'm not hugely bothered...

Last post

Hi Marc, hi all.
VIN is not something I can reasonably ask the vendor for and the reg will be an Irish one, which won't work on your system.
I may be able to access an Irish spec TecDoc, which should give me the VIN, but given the other responses, is there any point?
If it was a decade older, I'd consider a full transaxle swap, for a 2.0 manual,...
