Hi all. I have a relative who owns a 2001 (Y reg) Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDi.
A slight fuel leak occurred on the fuel return cooler and was driven around while leaking fuel. This was a very small leak but the car stopped working. We replaced the part but couldn't get it to run after that. Not sure if this was related to the fuel leak or what but we...

HELP! Today was a bad day. My Proace Verso 2019, 2.0d (rebadged version of the Peugeot Traveller and Citroen SpaceTourer), has been running great. When I parked up today, I got an Engine fault: repair needed error. It doesn’t start; the engine turns over but doesn’t fire up.
ECU, Electrical fault? Maybe water ingress into the ECU, Fusebox, etc I...

Afternoon all, hope you're enjoying the sunshine!

I have two VCIs and have tried multiple methods of installing Diagbox (VM and directly onto W10)

One VCI flashes blue but is not recognised in either Diagbox, and the other shows a green light on plugging USB in but then gives the USB device not recognised warning - I have tried installing VCI...

Is there an OBD11 code reader known to work on Citroen C5 1.6 hdi 2006. Have tried a Topdon AL400 but it would not read codes. Thinking it may have been defective even though new as VW Bora 2001 and Toyota GT86 2018 would not read either. Perversely a Renault Van gave up its codes no trouble. Code reader sent back but I am confused and still need...

I have been running V7.62 ever since I got the kit but thought I'd update as Gibbo has been kind enough to send me his disks. I have worked through from 7.62 -7.66 - 7.74 -7.76 but when I double click the 7.76 to 7.83 update it asks me for a password!! I have checked with Gibbo but he has no knowledge of it so I was wondering if it is some form of...

Hi. I'm doing an engine conversion. I don't have any details of the donor car. I'm using an EDC15C2 ecu from early 206/306/406 2.0hdi.
I need a DAM number for Peugeot planet. Has anyone got one i can use please to get this going. I need this number to get to the next stage where I can select the ecu.
At present it says ecu not replying.

Hi, picked up a 2.0 HDI 307 CC the other day for a quick cheap project. Was a non starter (starter motor) and had been sat for months. I've got it going and given the intake sensors a good clean.
Near the manifold, what looks like intake temperature sensor was caked in oily gloop, but what looks like the map was clear.
I know enough on these cars...

Hello, I have the following case. I own a 2013 C5 2.0 and a 2016 C4 1.6. On both, I connected na LED to the side mirror heating to signal me during FAP regeneration. No issues with C5. However, it turned out that the C4 does regeneration without turning on the mirror heating . As a result, apparently after several unsuccessful regenerations, my...

Hi guys!

Ive been having weird (electrical) problems with my 2011 Citroen C4 B7 Sedan (1.6L 5-speed manual with petrol engine). So the car in question is the 2011 model and has about 190 000km on the odometer, but the engine was replaced by Citroen service center to a new one due to major overheating which eventually blew the piston out of the...

Good morning all,

Over the years I've been using PP2000 and Diagbox which has worked well when I've needed it. I found that having FAPapp was far more useful as it was mobile, quick and capable of monitoring,reading/clearing codes.

I've recently bought a 2018 308SW with the BlueHdi 8 speed auto and I must say it's a fantastic car!! Anyway, FAP...

My 2008 Peugeot 207cc 1.6 HDi has a weird fueling issue so I thought I'd have a quick look with DiagBox to make sure the injectors are coded correctly.
While in there I did a live test on the four 'Injector Flow Correction' values.
Not too sure what I'm looking at but 3 of the injectors have what seem to be sensible values in the 0 to 2 range, but...

Hello forum,
I have a 2007 C4 Grand Picasso that produces a ESP / ABS and parking brake warning after a few miles of driving. Local garages have - based on what I now read on this forum - hopelessly misdiagnosed the cause and charged me money that I should not have spent for fixes that have n't worked. Given the age/value of the car it's probably...

Hi,

I recently installed chinese android head unit. Everything works fine, but my battery is leaking when the car is turned off. The problem is probably related to the canbus network and communication, it is not a problem with the drain of head unit power supply. The battery leaks as soon as the OEM radio is removed. Is there a possibility to...

Good morning,
