The old tags are gone, there are now new tags available, but most of the time you won't need them, as just dropping the url of a video into the post should create the thumbnail.

Timing chain stretch seems to be the obvious possibility. I thought that by 2013 the chains and tensioners had been improved but maybe not enough.

No you cannot take a 12v feed from the reversing light or brake circuit! These are specific circuits for the lighting and are not designed to provide a 12V power outlet.

You already have a 12V supply in the rear. Just use a 12V to USB adapter if you require USB power - something like this:

Good tip about the felt channels. With age, and dirt on the glass edge, they can acquire a lot of friction. You can sometimes hear a motor struggling. If the door is equipped with anti-pinch or current limiting, the window can fail to complete its movement.

DS5 Gear Knob replacement

by jaspabt2 » 08 Jan 2020, 00:27

First post

Hi, put deposit down on a 16 plate DS5 Prestige 150, hopefully one I don't regret.
One thing I would like to do, is replace the top of the gear lever. The numbers have faded. Unfortunately finding DS 5 parts seems incredibly tough, so wondered if anyone knew what the part number was or where could buy one from?
Many thanks [-o<

No! Don't get it from them! :shock: :shock: :-D Those rip off merchants want £162.07 inc. VAT - They are not official dealers either.

It's only £90.68 inc. VAT direct from Citroen . :-D

Only :shock:

DS5 tuning & mods

by vladm » 09 Jan 2020, 12:13

First post

Hi everyone,

I recently got a 2014 2.0 HDi 163hp, AM6C automatic on which I've spent some time to get it to a very good condition. The car has about 150.000 kms on it so it needed some maintenance.

So far I've replaced:
- brake disks & pads (Brembo slated)
- KYB dampers & SACHS 373mm springs ( front & back ) -> the ride is a bit lower, about...

This really isn't a car tuning Forum Vlad - but more about helping members with keeping their cars in good condition and on the road, so I wouldn't expect a flood of replies :)

DS5 Cockpit roof with electric sunblinds

by Peterjonas75 » 03 Nov 2019, 18:51

First post

Dear All,

I have a DS5 with Cockpit roof with toggle switches and 3-part glass roof with electric sunblinds.
The driver side Sunblind does not work . When I push the button, the sunblind move only 1mm and stop, and I hear the electric engine works, try to move the sunblinds but the sunblinds not move. Now it is closed. I try to help them...

Last post

Hey, I have the exact problem, as you described it. Tried to get it open, maybe a bad feeder or the electric motor slips but no luck. I'm not that car savvy, I'll go to a specialist I guess. Did you fix yours? Can't find any spare parts online for this so it doesn't seem to have a quick fix for it.

DS5 Locking Issues

by Mares » 03 Jan 2020, 15:35

First post

Another question, I have a problem for a while with keyless driver's door operation, sometimes it operates ok and sometimes it does not operate...it seems it stops operating at all (even after erasing faulty code related to it). Is it possible to swap handles between drivers door and back passenger door for instance? Are they just plug-n-pay or...

Last post

I'm not sure why people think erasing a fault code cures the problem! :?: :-D

The fault code is there for a reason and if the fault remains, the fault code will be triggered again. What is the code for a start, as that might help us determine the issue, otherwise we are guessing at what could be any of a hundred reasons. :wink:

To answer the...

DS7 Mud Flaps

by Iansel » 24 Dec 2019, 12:34

First post

There are a lot of country lanes around where I live and they are filthy with mud and dead leaves. The two front doors are spattered with mud and dead leaves. The two rear doors aren’t much better. Unfortunately driving through puddles doesn’t seem to wash them off.
Can’t believe I am the only person with this problem.
Has anyone fitted mud flaps...

Ha ha, oops!! I work on the coast and got my flats mixed up with my flaps😂

New DS7 owner

by Carld90 » 07 Dec 2019, 15:51

First post

Hello all, just got my ds7 ultra prestige 180 on an 18 plate. Had it a day and three lights came on engine fault, ad blue and the spanner. Would these all be linked to just the Adblue being low? Disappointing that the dealer should’ve checked the levels / topped up and reset computer etc. They’ve been to collect my car and gave me a courtesy car...

Last post

If it was a dealer then their procedure is to evacuate the current contents of the Adblue tank and then refill with a measured amount so it wouldn't matter if the warning wasn't showing.

A dealer will empty a full tank before refilling. They did it to me at a service despite me specifically telling them I had just filled the tank up.

Heater blower fan

First post

Hi all
My fans not working so I have removed the fan and tested it with 12v direct and worked fine.
The wire to the fan has 3.9v from the resistor.

Other than changing the resistor any ideas ?

This photo is the wire which was burnt out, see the discolouration.

When pressing on connected apps on the media system, what apps do you have?

Last post

Connected apps is a discontinued service from PSA. It used to provide traffic news, fuel station information etc and was supposed to be PSA's own answer to Apple Carplay and Android Auto. It didn't take off and the service was discontinued as of November 2016. The icon hasn't been removed from the infotainment because it is still available in some...

DS7 Service book.

Does the DS7 come with a physical service book that you get stamped when serviced?

Hi all.
Just bought a 16 month old ds7 and it’s back in for repairs and recall after 2 weeks.
1 remorte key doesn’t work at all.
Warning spanner on dash light up saying check side lights and indicators but they all work.
Sat nav not connected to give traffic updates etc.
Keyless entry not working.
Thinking I’ve bought a real bum.

My question...

It was very well known and advertised main dealer but not a ds main dealer.
I’m now in contact with there head office to try and sort this.
