Hello, does anyone have the policy wording for the DS automobiles 8 year / 100,000 miles Electric Vehicle Warranty for the battery by any chance? I'm thinking there must be specific parts surrounding the battery that will (or won't) be included. I've contacted DS and initially they have just forwarded me to this webpage:

This page only includes...

Hey everyone,

My DS7 recently popped up the service light, and after checking the DTC, it says the additive tank is empty. Can anyone help me figure out which type of DPF additive I need to buy to refill it?

Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the PSA Service Box in my country.
Here’s my VIN in case it helps: VR1**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Thanks a lot in...

Afternoon all,

I have brought a 2012 Citroen DS3 with a weird problem, the fuel gauge is always showing full on the instrument panel.

I have changed the fuel sender in the tank with no luck.

Please can I have some advice on what this might be?

Does anyone have a wiring diagram of this system?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've run Citroen cars since 1984 both for my driving school (34 years) and private cars. I recently purchased two used 2017 Citroen cars. One a C4 Cactus and the other a DS3 Chic. Both were low mileage bought from private sellers with the Cactus @ 34,000 miles and the DS3 @ 27,000 miles and have 1.2 Puretech engines. I've always taken advantage of...

While driving on the highway, the Service warning light suddenly came on. I took it to a repair shop for diagnosis, and it showed the P2263 error code: excessive pressure in the turbocharger circuit.

Hi everyone,

I recently imported a DS7 Crossback 2.0 Opera trim from South Korea. Overall, I’m very happy with the car, but I’ve run into a small issue. Two days ago, it rained in my city, and yesterday while driving, I noticed that the windows were fogging up.

I suspect there might be some water inside the cabin.
Has anyone else experienced...

Hello - my first post. 2012 DS5 hybrid4. A friend was in need so I loaned him the car (not my daily driver). While he had it, the ‘low voltage - energy conservation mode’ message came up a couple times, so he changed the battery, and of course didn’t follow the procedure these vehicles demand. Anyway, now that I have the car back, the parking...

Hi all,

I’ve got a 2019 DS3 Crossback (petrol, UK) and the cabin fan has stopped changing speed. I can turn it on and off from the controls, but whatever setting I choose, the airflow stays at the same very low speed.
