Forum server settings changed

by xantia_v6 » 07 May 2024, 19:01 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Due to excessive server loading caused by some badly behaved 'bots' (automated content collectors), I have changed the anti-ddos settings on the site to be much more aggressive.

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

There may...

Last post

I have been keeping an eye on the server performance, and the every 5 minutes same addresses would flood the forum with requests for a few seconds before getting blocked again.

In the last hour they seem to have got bored and gone away.

Regarding Citroen warranty, normally you pay for a diagnostic to determine if there is a problem (otherwise people would be bringing their cars in for every little minor non-issue), but if there is found to be an problem covered by warranty, reasonable standard diagnostic charges will be covered and all labour of course.

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...

Hard to tell if this is part of the transmission reducer (if it has a bearing noise) which is part of the electric motor sub-assembly or something else to do with the piloted gearbox....

It would make some difference to the MPG, albeit not as much as freewheeling.

DS5 Headlights poor illumination

First post

Hi , My first post , love my DS5 2013, however one problem is the poor illumination of the road , I have replaced the HID with like for like bulbs and adjusted manually the levels, how ever the bulbs glow brightly but do not light up the road a head , quite dangerous on the country roads. The high beam works well.
Any suggestion on what to look at...

D1S bulbs in common with all xenon type bulbs must be replaced in pairs otherwise the colour output will be different and will become more obvious over time.

Stock bulbs can often have a yellowish light, but you can get upgraded lights form Osram like the Xenarc Nightbreakers that provide a purer white colour and significant projection of light...

DS5 indicator took in water and died

I am looking for a replacement scrolling LED indicator light, drivers side for my 2016 DS5 if anyone knows where I can get one at a reasonable price. Water got in during heavy rain and the light has blown completely. Thanks

Parts and replacements will only become rarer and more expensive now as production ended probably before 2018 (where they were probably selling off and running down stocks) so I can't see the situation improving.

Always best to use a kit when replacing the timing belt which will include the tensioner rollers and the water pump. You may not need it now, but it is unlikely the tensioners will last another 10 years and that is to say nothing of the coolant pump condition.

Finaly the update was succesfull, but since then my mirrors won't fold in when i lock the car, and the distance sensors are working on the screen, but don't give any sound anymore. I have also a problem with the drivers...

I have had similar issues which have repaired themselves by switching the option off and back on again, even without exiting the setup screen. Hope it helps but would be a shame if they didn't know to try this at the dealer's.

Sorry to hear your issues. It's why I'm not going anywhere near electric until I'm forced to, hopefully in many years time!

DS5 Cruise Control weird self cancelling

My regular journey from home involves a 40mph limit followed by a 30mph limit, perhaps half a mile from home. I use cruise control set to 42, as I know that this is 40 in reality. When I turn this down to 32 for the 30 limit I find that about half of the time it cancels shortly after. No errors, just the standard message displayed just as if I'd...

I was going to suggest try using speed limiter instead. I know the OP said he has a light traffic ride but I still like mine a bit more than CC in almost all situations.

The DS9 speedo is very accurate when i compare to what an apps showing such as Waze, just reads a little too high. I set mine to 33/ 44/ 55/ 66/ 77 depending on the speed limit....

That's true about the additional battery weight - and will make a huge difference, but there are different dampers based on:

4 wheel drive
ICE & Base Damping
ICE & Variable Damping
PHEV Train & Base Damping

Ditto with the front springs, 2 types for PHEV and ICE and another for 4 Wheel Drive.

Good morning all,

The rear view camera on my DS5 (2012 model) is great in the day but quite useless in a dark carpark or in the evenings. i have replaced teh reverse lights with LED ones as well as the numberplate ones but still not much luck. Has anyone done anything to resolve the poor quality issues?

Many thanks

Last post

Yes, just a plug-in replacement. You won't get any blown bulb warnings, and will have reversing lights like headlights.

It will definitely improve the camera. Whether it will be good enough is an unknown. I do know that my later camera is definitely clear as day with these light bulbs, but the older camera may be less good but may or may not be...

May well be a very simple solution to this but my DS5 is very lazy at turning over to start on cold mornings

Hi
Lazy as in doesn't turn over as fast as you'd think, especially with a new battery, starter motor sounds slower

I hope to receive some advice from you. Unfortunately, for some reason, my rear tires wear out more quickly than the front ones. When I purchased the car, it was fitted with 235/45 R20 P Zero (PZ4) SC Electric-approved, and I presume they were demo as the car was second-hand. I need to change the rear tires now and I'm facing a dilemma: should...

Ds3 2013 top up oil message

by Aesud » 11 Jan 2024, 19:29

First post

Hi! I have a ds3 cabrio THP 156hp from 2013.

Some weeks ago a message appeared on the screen saying ”top up engine oil level” so I checked the level with the useless oil dipstick and it seemed that it was a bit low.
So I filled it up with about a litre but the message showed up again and again. I filled up even more but the message won’t stop...

Last post

Firstly, if you are having trouble reading the oil level on the dipstick, try placing the end of the dipstick on a paper towel, the oil is easier to see on the paper.

Don't start the engine if the level is more than a few mm high.

I believe that the low oil warning is sticky and you need to start the engine a few times (5?) before it goes away....

I think you need to have a read through your owner's manual - all the info is there.
