Did they find anything?

🤣🤣 thanks RichardW, can’t see them selling many of them then 🤣🤣

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay. I found that I could get an injector for a Ford Focus (same part number) for £156 on eBay. Before buying it I thought I would let a friends mechanic have a look.
He found that the connector on the top of the injector was broken and giving a loose connection. 2 cable ties later all is fixed and the car is running...

Have a look - you can see the emissions and power on the website - scroll down until you see 'Other engines' and that will show the 225 - but all the puretech ones are there:

Do you think 3008 Better than ds 7;

The amount of springing/shock absorption/adhesion/comfort due to the tyres is often underestimated.
I have lost count of the number of vehicles I have driven (particularly brand new ones, or short rental) where the ride has been jittery or harsh. I lots of cases, a quick check showed tyre pressures were in excess of recommended, sometimes way...

They stop at 6214 (or maybe 6215) miles which is the equivalent of 10,000km. Presumably at 9999.9km the buffers are full up! And, yes, the MPG figure stays at whatever figure was showing at that point.

Can i find it my car is special as there is many things came by mistake like this part but it is broken

Depends on what options you have:

If you have the Full LED technology headlamps, then there is no manual adjustment as the system does this automatically.

If you have the Halogen or Xenon headlamps, then the switch is located as arrowed for Right Hand Drive, or the other image for LHD:

If your're n o sure what you have pop your...

Hi, guys.
I’m having similar problems with my alternator belt/tensioners.
Did anyone do it themselves?

Is it difficult to remove the second tensioner?

I'm running Michelin CrossClimate+. only had them for a year and had no extreme weather to test them on.
The used car came had a mixture of summer tyres from two different brands, and the reviews on the CrossClimate Michelins looked good.
No complaints yet, but I've not done much distance on them.
I've used these on my C5 X7 and found them to be...

Mine do exactly the same on my 2014 DS5, I find the sensor a little too sensitive, not the best Auto Wiper system to be fair.

Just a warning, no level indicator Colin, which is why they tell you how far you can go once it comes on. Same as there is no DPF additive level - just the low level warning, that gives you ample time to top it up.

You have to carefully consider anything you read on the Internet! Most forums questions and responses are made in good faith and are generally helpful but occasionally you get misleading or inaccurate information. I would be extra wary if the forum were operated and moderated by a manufacturer rather than a non partisan user group.

I may implement the long mooted plan of a pushbutton somewhere to perform the bridging action!

I recently spent a week driving in France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany with my DS7 and didn't have any problems with oncoming drivers flashing their headlights at me. I did ask the MyDS Customer Service team before I went whether any headlamp adjustment was needed and if so, how I would do that, and they responded that the profile of the...

Only those models with Xenon Dual-Function Directional headlamps. They are generally not standard and only available as part of an option pack.

Yes - and worse when you have a frozen screen - that could easily destroy your wiper motors quite rapidly and tear all the rubber off the blades. Perfectly sensible and I can just image all the posters complaining about damaged wipers and motors if what you are suggesting was the case Panos.

all sorted... it was a burnt out earth wire ...thanks for your help again.

I've been using Shell V-Power in all my vehicles since its launch, I was using its predecessor, which I can't recall the name of, prior to that and I have been very pleased with the overall results. The engines have all run exceedingly smoothly, noticeable difference when I have had to put standard fuel in when VP not available and with VP the...

Yes - for your vehicle / Telematics System.

On the C5 X7 with Navidrive 3D fitted, it has other functions such as:

Prepare to receive a voice command.
Update the list of Radio stations received.
Repeat last Navigation Instruction.

Thanks for all replies. After having an alfa Gtv v6 for sometime, I’m savvy with wishbone issues and the clunk knocks and tramlining. ( front wishbones on the alfa were almost biannual replacements), this feels a little bloated wallow kind of feeling and the clunk more a boing although they have said the springs were checked.

That’s because the aerial is incorporated into the screen panel (like screen printing) so that’s why you can’t see it. You may see fine elements in the panel, that’ll be it.

Excellent - well done and thanks for the update - will certainly help others in future :-D

In the UK, these are the colours currently on offer:

For me it would have to be Andradite Brown or Byzantin Gold - but they are all really nice colours.

Thanks Marc,
I’ll have to look for it when I’ve got a day free.

Cheers

The rear bumper has to come off to get to the wiring as it's built into the bumper not the tailgate. Also the rear undershield deflectors to get to the securing bolts of the bumper.

For your 2013 year it was with Citroen - but it doesn't really matter they are the same group, use the same parts and systems. Just check the pricing though from both - DS may well add a 'premium' to their serving charges. If so, go to Citroen as the DS5 was marketed and sold by them until this year at least. I suspect your front grille also has...

OUCH!!!

Thanks guys, found them on the DS7 now I know they are there!

My car is a la premier should it have park pilot.

So car went back to dealer for checks. They gave me an Aygo for a few days 😱. They found that front needed tracking, balancing and also that arb bushes were shot. 48 hour turn round and although still a minor shudder on the motorway steering is tight. A big improvement. I just purchased a handbook and wallet on eBay and updated mapping and safety....

This morning I used hand primer again before starting the engine, to notice if there are bubbles in hoses, and noticed one bubble in a hose after diesel filter (like yesterday). What I noticed about hand primer is, after pumping it to maximum (engine still off) after several seconds it became deflated (you could hear air going out of primer...

Thanks I am still wrestling with the basics. It will be a while till I find time to grapple with voice commands let alone instrument panel customisation :-)

One of the highest rated cars for comfort is the Skoda superb, I have never tried one but all the reports show that it comes in the top 10 best riding cars, they are VW based so it seems they can make a comfortable car. Has anyone here driven one?

When I first saw the C5 I immediately noticed the 17 wheels and thought the ride on this is going to...

There are no further details about this - it is hard to say exactly what has changed in the new camera module - they may well have changed the complete camera, lens, photosensitive sensor, electronics - or just modified a single component. PSA do not release exact details of any changes.

It should also have the ‘bomb’, a can of tyre gunk that’s used with the pump to inflate a flat tyre. No jack on models without a spare.

Thanks Marc. That's good to know.
John.

Marc, Thanks for the info.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I will get in touch with a dealer as advised

Most of this stuff is covered in the owners manual - but there are well known issues with the system as it relies on both a decent phone, running an appropriate version of the operating software and a lot of pot luck. I would get it back to your dealer and get them to sort it for you - it's under warranty and too new with too many bugs for us to...

I have Android 7.1.1 and this won't be updated by Motorola apparently. However, the ConnectedCAM app only requires Android 5.0 and above, so it should work. If a higher level than 7.1.1 is necessary, then it would mean a new phone #-o .

It depends on the variant as to which ones had a spare wheel. The ones that did had a spare wheel carrier mechanism that when operated, released the spare wheel from the housing.

The Hybrid models certainly didn’t have a spare wheel carrier, nor did some other models, instead having the boot storage box fitted and the tyre repair kit.

Drop back again there's plenty of odd non car threads and mad people here to keep you interested/amused etc

Thanks for the reply.
I understood it was pin 2, but the drawing is configured 624513, not 123456 or 654321, which confused me.
Anyway, I had to strip the side trims etc out to get at the cables and unwrap them to find the 2205 number, which I'd have preferred not to do.
2205 is the grey wire, so it must be 123456 from the bottom up, brown being...

DS5 1.6 THP Performance Line, need to splice into the rev light wire to send a signal for my third party rev cam, I have a specific relay for can bus system it worked fine on my C4 airdream - anyone know if it should work on my DS5?

Suffice it to say, I turned mine off. Me too. Apart from anything else it's a large current draw without the battery being under charge. This will only accelerate the degradation of said battery and removal of money from your wallet earlier than needs be.
