Can anyone tell me what pipe is on the Airbox of a DS3 turbo and where is it going? I want to do an intake on my DS3 and do not know what to do with the vacuum pipe once the airbox is removed.

Hello.

I hope I am utilizing this forum space correctly.
I have a Citroen DS5 VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
The Eolys additive needs to be refilled.
I saw on the Citroen service manual that the type of fluid depends on the color of the tank clickfit.
For Blue Clickfit I must use Eolys Powerflex.
For Green Eolys 176 or Infeneum F7995
and for neither...

Hi All
Posted a few times over the months about this. I have a DS3 Prestige which is a 2016 but does not have Android Auto or Mirrorlink and I would like it :)

I have noticed that you can now buy these screens that appear to just connect to your phone and they are used instead of your phone.

Does anyone have one of these that owns a DS3? I...

Hello everyone,

I am from China and currently drive a 2022 DS9 Opéra Fuel Version. I recently came across information about a recall regarding the tire pressure labels, which initially suggested pressures of 2.4 for the front and 2.2 for the rear. However, the correct pressures should be 2.4 for both front and rear.

My local dealership has...

Has anyone had an issue of the back suspension jumping sidewards when going over manhole covers?

I have a 2018 Ds3 Performance 210, that has an intermittent staring issue.

To give a bit of history, this might be relevant… last week I changed the coolant and gearbox oil, to do this removed the battery and housing etc for access. On completion the test drive was fine no issues, only odd thing is the start stop actually worked, the first time...

Apologies if this has been asked before.
I have a 2017 DS5 that seems to have carplay and mirrorlink on it. I know mirrorlink is no longer supported and most cars now have android auto.
Has anyone found any adapter that can plug in that will connect to the mirrorlink and allow me to connect my Samsung S23ultra via android auto?
TIA
Paul

Hi
I have just bought a 2016 DS3 1.6HDI Prestige 120PS, lovely car.
As I understand it, there should (or could) be a possibility that I can get Mirrorlink on it.
Currently it just has the Internet Browser thing and I thought that Mirrorlink was standard (turns out nah).
Anyways, firstly, is it possible to get this? This would save me having to...

Hi everyone, I'm new here so here is my first post.

I have a DS5 Hybrid4. When starting cold, the Zero Emission mode works fine, but after a while, it no longer does. After doing a diagnostic, it came out with P0A82 (fault in the HV battery cooling) and P0A7E (HV battery getting too hot). There are obviously related.

After inspecting at the rear...

Hello
Is there any chance to have a list of my car equipment what my version has + what extras where added) via the VIN number?

Hello,
Today, out of the blue, I got this error for a DS7 eTense, 2020:
Collision detection risk system fault

Left the car for few hours, but the error is still there when starting the engine. The radar and camera are clean... I did not hit anything..

Warranty expired long ago, so before contacting local DS service, is anyone who had this...

Hello,

I’ve decided to go and check the lens of my headlights because i’m not satisfied of the visibility.

I went to one of the best from my city who reconditions headlights and just gave me the news that the lens are smoked after putting a new xenon bulb.

Looking on the system he told me that he is not sure how everything works there, he never...

Hi, My left rear light has turned into an aquarium once more, despite having all my lights replaced previously. The last replacement was four years ago, and now I'm facing a 650 euro charge for a new unit from DS. I've come across instances where such replacements were covered at no cost. Could anyone share how they managed to get this done? The...

Hi there,
I have an annoying kind of popping noise that seems to come from both front doors seals of my DS5 (of 2011), it looks like a friction noise between highly dried seals and that can be heard only when the weather is dry (never when humid/rainy).
Could anyone help me to solve this issue please?
I was thinking of replacing the front left and...

I have a 2021 DS7 Crossback Louvre. The n/s rear light had water in it and I reported it, double figure emails and phone calls later it has failed and now does not work.
I can’t tell you how bad the customer service has been and the dealership are downright rude and obnoxious. I have now been a week without a car with no end in sight.
Apparently...

Washed my car at the weekend using a hose and noticed afterwards that some water had made its way into the passenger side rear light. I called the dealer and it's a known issue and the subject of a notice issued to dealers by DS. It's being replaced under warranty next week while I wait. A 30 minute job, apparently.

If anyone else has the same...

I need an undertray for a 2017 DS4 2.0hdi which is missing on my new car (always been main dealer serviced!). I see that the correct part number is 7013xz which I am finding very difficult to find other than new at £180. I have replaced several of these on other cars with ebay types but all those I can find are based on 7013ec or 7013ct...

Hi,

How do I reset the TPMS for my DS DS5?

Hi, I have a ds3 crossback 19 plate, a kind gentleman recently helped me jump start the car after my dashcam draining the battery, since doing this the infotainment system doesn't work, which in turn means my parking sensors, heating and all other things controlled by it won't work, also USB port doesn't work, can someone help me with this? Fuse...

I've almost come to terms with DS5 ownership after 16 months. I tried a 2.2 l Jaguar XF at the weekend and was completely underwhelmed.
It felt dated and sluggish, even though it was the 190bhp version rather than the 163.?
It was fairly nice and reasonably specced, but it didn't fold its'self around me and whisper buy me now !
OK, the reason I...

Hi everybody,

I would like to ask for your opinion regarding the software updates for engine and gearbox.
I understood that there may be some updates available (now depends if the last owner made them or not, needs to be checked).
I heard that on engine side some bugs were detected after 2015 for this engines (maybe for others also), 2.0 163hp,...

As it says.
The auto unlock when you touch the door handle seems to be non functional now. I can still click the key button to unlock but can't open the door with the keys in my pocket any more.
Any idea?

I’ve had DS 3 HDI 2016 with for about 4 months. Car has be spot on but I’ve just noticed after driving for 5-10 minutes and then pulling up and sitting in idle, I can hear what sounds like a pump coming from the rear, it comes on about 6-7 times with about 10 seconds inbetween. It sounds exactly like the rear wiper motor but obviously it is not...

Hi all,

I recently purchased a 2010 Citroen DS3 1.6 THP Sport Chic as my first car. :-D

The previous owner was using the Bluetooth perfectly fine. However, I am having some trouble pairing my iPhone 8.

My phone picks up the car, and when I do a scan from the car it picks up my phone. Either way, the request for the authentication code pops up...

Hi

i have a petrol DS9 and happy with it apart from the ride comfort. It's still in warranty. The car is at the dealers at the moment for a warranty repair and I have often moved the conversation onto the suspension which I feel shouldnt be like it is on that type of car. FYI, before buying my car I did try the PHEV DS9 with the upgraded...

Hi all
I have a 1.6 BlueHDi Elegance 3d 2016, I helped a colleague charge his battery, all of a sudden my car stopped completely, and wouldn't start again. Some lights come on. But all i get is a clunking noise, a mechanic came out and said it had ground to earth or something like that. When we charged battery all cables were on correctly.
Any...

Good evening folks,

He has the same car as me citroen ds5 2012 diesel 2.0. The motor is not blown but he would like a new reg and motor. Any suggestions on which one or where from?

Thank you...

Happy weekend everyone,

After a fault codes scanning with a clone Diagbox 9.91 i said that i want to take a look on Diesel additive pump, maybe i can see the level of Eolys.
Entering in this category and selecting aditive pump suddenly appears Check engine and something with economy mode. Regarding “economy mode” i guess that the battery it’s a...

Hi all, new to this forum after picking up my ds 7 crossback louvre two days ago. So far well happy with it! One question though does anyone know how to stop the red sos button near the interior mirror flashing. Looking at the ds app the emergency battery needs replacing but can't find out how to do this if anyone can help, thanks..

Hi All, I am thinking to buy a 1-2 year old DS9, but I am a bit worry as not too many of them in the UK and not much information about their reliability. The DS9s are just sitting on the autotrader months, not selling and not needed and I am unable to understand why. Also, some of the drivers were complaining about the Stellantis and that when...

Hi does anyone have a fuse box diagram for the ds3 crossback? Not sure what fuse is for what and looking for any help on this. Thanks.

Dear All

My wife has a 2015 DS5 HDI DSport which has handsfree locking. Over the last day or two, the car has on occasion refused to lock as if one of the doors has been left open, each time this has eventually resolved itself after a bit of waiting but it's obvious a problem if/when it occurs again. Whilst driving she noted the warning rear...

I often like to drink cold and hot (non-alcoholic) beverages whilst on a wee run - but having only one driver-accessible cup holder in the door is pretty poor! This is compounded by the fact that the cup holder seems to be designed for espresso sized beverages... Anybody got any solutions (that aren't those wee random cupholders that hang off the...

Hi all,

First post here. I've recently purchased a DS3 2016 1.2 PureTech. I love the car but after around a week then heater/blower/Aircon stopped working. It's been freezing and wet so not ideal. I changed the F11 fuse and nothing so guessing it's the motor or resistor. I ordered a resistor and have just checked the panel and is soaking wet,...

Hello everyone. I’ve recently acquired a 2014 DS5 1.6 eHDi EGS6 with a drive issue. Basically it feels like the clutch is slipping. It will change through the gears ( I’ve gone from 1st to 3rd ) and there are no warning lights. When you take your foot off the brake the car does not creep forward and if you are on a hill , it rolls back. When you...

Evercince I bought my DS5 I've been contemplating on how to retrofit AFIL function! That's how PSA calls 2 systems; HBA aka High Beam Assist and LDW aka (unintended) Lane departure Warning.
You could find these on prefacelift DS5s more often, but later DS branded models were somewhat stripped down with equipment so this function became quite rare...

Sorry if i’m repeating the topic, if so please give me a link to an old one.🙏🏼

I’m trying to get a scanning tool for my car and i found at someone 2 tools, x-diag 3 which is on phone and Diagbox.
I know that Diagbox is the right one for Citroen but the guy told me that on x-diag (which is from Launch i guess) is able to do the same...
