Does anyone know if and how we can connect to the PSA servers for a one off fee in order to download ECU software or updates.I thought this used to be possible but have been told that you now have to hold a permanent account in order to do this.

After trying unsuccessfully to talk to my X7 for several days with the Actia cable I bought 10 years ago, it seems to be a no-go as I don't have the full chip version.

So the question is: send it away to be updated or...

I'm looking into getting one myself, but there are so many versions, what do you choose? Some are listed as full chip, others lite. I take it there's a bunch of fake ones too. What do you pay attention to?

And secondly, is there any tutorial on how to set it all up on a laptop once you actually get it? I take it installing Diagbox is all it needs?

The engine management light recently came on, on my 2007 C8 with the 2.0 HDI 136 engine. It went into limp mode, switched on and off and then it performed as normal again. I borrowed a CAN OBD2 code reader which gave P1351, P2408, P0489. I reset it to see which warnings came back. It came back a day later and I reset it again. A week or so later...

Hello, Im new to the forum so please forgive if I break any etiquette

I have a Grand C4 Picasso, Petrol 1.2l PureTech Auto, 2017. Which, as I understand it, is a reasonable rare combination of engine/gearbox/car. However I hope that as the forum covers Peugeot cars to which also have PureTech engines this will help input.
Recently the engine...

Hi Everyone,

Thank you!

Citroen C4 Picasso 2007 Diesel Semi Auto Gearbox 1.6

2 Years and 4000 miles ago Citroën Wimbledon changed Clutch kit, DM Flywheel and slave cylinder.

Please help! I have a Citroen C4 Picasso 2007 Diesel Semi Auto with Gearbox related issues. The Clutch kit was replaced 4000 miles ago. A few weeks back Gearbox Faulty message kept on coming on the...

I had previously replied to a thread that described the temperature gauge reading rapidly dropping on a C5. My DS5 did the same thing sometime after a thermostat replacement. Turns out coolant was leaking from the bleeder screw, that I had stupidly over-tightened. I eventually fixed this by using the old screw but transferring the new O-ring to...

Hi all, I have a 2011 C3 picasso and i ran out of dpf additive , which to be honest I didn't know a dpd was fitted to the car, and now I have the service light on telling me the p filter add level low.

Will buy a laptop to dedicate to the job. I've seen old Panasonic...

Hello everybody. I need help if possible. I want to buy an OBD reader system for my citroen C5 tourer 1.6 110cv 2009 but I don't know which system is the best.

I've just bought an early 2013 Pug Partner and want to activate the Cruise Control. I have an older version of Lexia that works fine on my M59 Berlingo, but am guessing that PP2000 will not work so I'll have to use Diagbox.
I've tried Diagbox 5.29 but get a lot of 'ECU Not Recognised' messages when doing an error scan so am guessing that 5.29 is...

It’s my first time here on this forum. Electric parking brake fault appeared on my Citroen C4 GP 2016 model and stayed for several days.

Will appreciate some help. It's all a bit baffling..

Bit of a strange one folks.
On a 4 poster, I lift the xantia up and pull it down, at the bottom of travel there is a knocking/popping sound which is quite distinct and audible. My mechanic said it could be felt through the sphere when touched. It can be heard and felt when driving, almost like a drop link type sound but its at the rear of the car...

Hey guys, long time lurker here. After refueling a few days ago I got the general check engine light on the screen of my 308 T9. It was diagnosed as a faulty additive pump and basically no garage wants to touch it since pairing a new one is a dealer only job, in their words. Dealer quote exceeds a 1000 euros which I find insane. By some googling I...

Fault Code 1AA0H/6816 REFER TO OEM REPAIR INFORMATION

Hi,

I'm running Diagbox 7.57 in a Windows 7 VM via VirtualBox with a Lexia Rev C interface and USB passthrough. What I find is that I can't diagnose non-starting issues as it only records data up to the point when I crank the engine - as soon as I turn the key, Diagbox complains of losing the connection and asks me to retry or cancel. Likewise,...

Hi I have a fault code P0423 Atomizer for injection of fuel at the exhaust. It showed up today after changing the air intake temperature sensor.

Hello,

I get the p0087 code on cold start (after about a min of ideling), car starts studdering (revs dial rotates 100-200 revs up/down) ... High pressure petrol value in this case is low (obd measure). If i shut down and restart car comes back and high pressure stables at around 50bar on idle.

So...am i doomed = faulty high pressure fuel pump?...

I would like to fit a towbar and associated wiring to my 2004 Berlingo.

What is the easiest way I can determine for sure if I have a canbus system?

Thank you
