DS7 Battery Replacement

Are there any guides on how to change the battery on a DS7 - 2018 model.

I've had a look under the hood and of course it doesn't look simple.

Any ideas?

It was actually a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.

1. Remove the plastic piece across the top of the battery - as seen in this video at 30s:

I have no actual information on this hence this is just my opinion. I daresay the reality is a result of the modern vehicle 'over monitoring' its systems. Because it has the ability to switch into eco mode when certain conditions apply I wouldn't be surprised if it has the ability to alter things when it detects a potential overload on any...

Citroen DS4 2015 1.2 Petrol 129BHP Oil

Hi everyone - I am new here!

I have a read a few different recommendations for the oil on these cars. Can anyone enlighten me? I think it's either a 0-30 or 5-30 Fully Synthetic, but I could be wrong? I want to get it right as I know it has a wet belt!

Also what would be the best oil filter, as again, there are so many options out there....

Your recall letter should have a recall code which can be searched on and put on here so others can probably let you know what it involves. If it is an old recall it might be to do with the timing belt so I would wait before doing any diy oil changes. The recall can only be done by a dealer and will not cost you anything.

Hi
I got this error code on my car P15B3 additive adding “Calculated additive level below minimum threshold”
it has nothing to do with the Adblue tank because it works as it should and registers every time I fill it up.
But I didn't think my car used both adblue and eolyse fluid but it seems it does.
Can anyone confirm this?
Does anyone know what...

DS 7 Crossback timing belt

by EssexGuy » 04 Dec 2025, 20:39

First post

Hi folks

General enquiry - how many miles world you generally expect the timing belt on a DS7 Crossback to last?

Not sure if I'm being spun a line by my DS dealership or not.

Last post

Depends on which engine but rather than how long they last you should use the recommended replacement time in years or a mileage if sooner and then you do not need to wait that long to avoid the worry of an early failure. Puretech petrol ones run in oil so have a replacement sooner than say a diesel one which does not.

Expansion Tank Higher Pressure Problem

by Erceste » 10 Dec 2024, 21:37

First post

Dear Forum Users,

I have DS5 2016 model 2.0 BlueHdi diesel 180 HP automatic car.

I need your advise regarding my higher pressure problem on expansion tank. Maybe I top up 750ml coolant every day due to expansion tank higher pressure issue.

1. There is no overheating issue and 90 degrees settling always when I drive.
2. Heating fans works well....

Last post

If it's not overheating, but the tank is over pressuring and blowing out coolant, then odds on the head gasket is gone. Does it pressurise quickly from cold (i.e. before it gets hot) / does it retain pressure overnight?

What if it retains pressure over night? I really can't figure this out. I've got more of the same problem. Lots of pressure...

I was checking the coolant temperatures with my OBD and it takes almost 20 min to reach 100° any one else is having problems to have heating during winter? I'll attach a graphic of that so you can see it. Also after 10 min running when it get to 90° it opens...

Last post

A quick search does suggest the 1.6 vti thermostat should start to open at 105°C so something odd looks to be happening at 90°C that has dropped the temperature. Is this when the cabin heater blower was turned on ?

Spacesaver wheel/tyre size for Ds3

Hi guys, I've recently purchased a used 2017 DS3 with 16 wheels but it doesn't have a spare wheel and instead comes with the tyre-repair inflator kit.
Personally I'd prefer a spare wheel for convenience so I'd like to pick the brains of you guys to let me know the exact wheel/tyre size I should be looking for.
Thanks in advance.

Might not be as simple as you hope. You need a wheel that will fit the car and fit in the boot, quite a lot of cars have limited wheel well space/depth designed for a space saver tyre. You will also need jack and wheel brace if they are not there already.

If you are looking for a space saver try some of the websites like spare wheel city, there...

I’ve never had a car where changing the display language was more than a 3-4 click/turn job. I’ve messed around with this thing (in French) for way too long. Is there an easy solution that I’m just missing somehow?

Problem is, when I push the setup button, there are a lot less options (3) compared to the screen in the video, and language isn't one of them.
