Potentially a fault with the stop start system, needs a diagnostic session.

You are unlikely to get all the old coolant out unless the engine block has a drain plug somewhere. If you are going to give it a flush with water then better to refill with undiluted coolant, add this first and then top up with water. This way it will be at the required or a bit stronger than 50% or whatever you are aiming for. Collect the old...

Sorry, I can't help with this model.

Haha ok:) Good luck then

There were several iterations of improvement of the THP timing gear. I think that the chain was improved by 2011, but maybe they had another go at the tensioners in 2012.

If the problem is just a hesitation, then I would be looking elsewhere, if your diagnostic tool can read live data, then I would be looking for uneven (across the cylinders)...

They have certain tests and guidelines for warranty replacement and was the same for the rear light clusters that filled up with water. On the rears for example they measured the level of water and if above a certain amount they replaced them. With a DRL, there's generally little area to fill, so I would expect a replacement if it's more than...

Both these are communications faults, so I would be checking the CAN network first before replacing parts. But as you've replaced the rack (and we assume the correct part as these are configured differently for each vehicle and engine), then that would more likely look like a problem with the with CAN network wiring or connectors. Don't overlook...

Great, no problems and thank you for taking the time to update your post and provide feedback, that will certainly encourage others to check if they have the same issue.

Thanks 👍🏻

i dont really use it for long journeys handy to know about the mirrors not folding out if its the battery protection unit also if its any help the start stop function dosent work even after charging the battery overnight and driving to nottingham and back 175 mile each way

👍🏻👍🏻

Well Done mate. Welcome to the Family)))

In my ds7 changing profiles only change display setting ( configuration of dials units etc), audio. To change seat setting you have 2 buttons M1 and M2. You have to adjust mirrors manually every time you change a seats memorized positions. It's a premium class isn't it ))))

Don't forget to close ds update (new window will open with instruction) and eject your memory stick from laptop properly using windows. This procedure is very important. Otherwise it might cause a problem with files on memory stic

Or look for GPS Forum, they may help

Definitely not central, and is that a missing bolt? Push the car around and see it if moves in relation to the body.

Hi,

Hope someone can tell me what the partnumber of this piece of foam is?
Has been eaten by some kind of animal :(

Thanks in advance

I've moved your request and the subsequent replies out of the Official Parts thread.

Please...

Hi. You need to code your unit into the car (unit need correct vin coded in)

Thanks Marc.👍🏻

You need to download the MyDS App and use that, not the MyCitroen App.

I think that this model has park shunt which reduces battery drain when the car is parked for extended periods. This should be checked and moved to the client position if necessary. It is located in the dashboard fuse box inside the glovebox on RHD vehicles.

Actually the EAT6 6-speed autos have been replaced with the 8 Speed EAT8 on many later vehicles now (depending on engine and power output), which provide smoother changes as there are 8 speeds, which is supposed to provide more economy as well as a smoother change.

this might help

I can hardly hear it, but I previously assumed that the sound was coming from the engine compartment and could best be heard there. If it is loudest inside the car, then I think that it would likely be caused by the blower fan motor bearings.

Solved my issue , took the rear parking sensor loom of and tested wires and found one broken /corroded wire . Fixed it and they all work correctly.
Thanks for your advice guys.

I have a DS 2017 Hybrid... I left the car on a hill this weekend to put chains on and handbrake was up.. The car release handbrake and started go backward, I was able to jump in and turn the wheel so it didn't hit another car and I hit a tre?e and stop.. Hill was arround 10%.. In the car my wife and child were in the car seat.. It's not the first...

Not directly comparable as that had engine driven power steering pump, but years ago my 306 HDi's auxiliary belt snapped - 27 miles from home, that made it back all that way without giving up. By Eck it was nerve wracking though!!!

I'm pretty sure you'll be ok with a fully charged battery and a 15 minute journey.

I think I saw somewhere (probably not on this forum) someone who found the little speaker in the comms unit had failed, and he managed to replace just the speaker with one from something else.

I have a 2020 DS3 crossback etense. I visited a few, all marked ultra prestige, and two white ones had the wireless charger. When I bought mine, I didn't think to check as had already test driven the others, and simply bought this based on price. Wrongly assumed it came standard on the ultra. Big mistake on my part.

Does anyone have the part...

Thanks Marc,

From what I can see in your previous post with the VIN decode, there isn’t a check digit at all! Does that mean that the DS VINs aren’t compliant with ISO3779?

Hy guys, today I reconnected my DS4 to a better OBD reader, it says P0E69 error code, back right speaker, missing signal, is that a problem with the speaker or the amplifier? Can I just replace it with another, different speaker, or replace both rear speakers?, dis anione of you have this problem and that you solved it?

I'm pretty sure there is no temperature sensor, my guess is that the ECU cross checks the engine speed with road speed and known gear ratios, and if there is a discrepancy assumes the clutch is slipping and flags the warning. Telling in this case it only occurs in 5th - suggests to me that the wrong gear ratio is programmed for 5th.

You are...

shame, i've tried a couple of cables but it just says usb peripheral error every time i plug it in. Could it be something to do with the car being 2014 but my iphone being more modern? i basically just have to use the usb port as charging only and connect via bluetooth, but there's some interference when it keeps trying to play media via the wire

with canbus box attached for android headunit you might have most of the functionality of your car systems

hi again i have bought the diagbox tool with plug and cable to plug into my DS5 but the cd i was given didnt seem to load properly on my laptop because it shown erras while loading and when i used it on the car it didnt show any information for citroen or DS and would do anything when i clicked on diagnostic ? anyone know where i can download the...

Had problem with spacers on rear axle, later there was recall so they replaced both in warranty. The noise was similar to whistling from brakes.

That's why I edited my post and wrote, what I wrote. I can get the build sheet and an account for free in the service box, but diagrams and technical handbooks are paid material. For me in germany is this a rip-off. I can totally understand if you guys in UK can't get any info for free but still, even then, the build sheet shouldn't be behind a...

Post has now been created in the Free, For Sale & Wanted Forum here: so I have locked this thread. Please post any queries in the other thread, but I'll leave this here in the DS Forum for extra coverage.

That may be the Hands Free Unit playing up. Get it to the dealer if you have warranty!

Welcome along!

Usually you would get an emissions error with this, and a count down to a non-start situation? The sensor is in the exhaust downstream of the SCR. It should unscrew from the exhaust, but they often seize in and then pull the threads out when you remove it. The part is not cheap, and you need a decent diag tool to reset the de-nox...

Hi guys can someone help me i have enabled the parking assistance on my ds3 with diagbox i replaced my rear bumper with an upper model ds3 with original parking sensors in it i attached the original loom to it from the car but i realised later there is no parking assistance ecu but the blue n black plugs are there for it so do i have to programme...

If you require a Factory Build Sheet, that will require a Membership upgrade. For the sort of information that it contains, please see this post as an example, which is for a DS5:

How can i find specific features of my car? like for example I see hill start assist in the manual however I'm not sure my car has that feature

The timing belt change intervals are for Citroen parts. If other parts are used it is possible they have a different interval so I would look at the paperwork to see if it shows what was used. You could check the aux belt to see if that needs replacing and its pulleys.

Just pop up future parts request in the main thread Lee, or I may miss it.

I want the whole experience so wonder if anyone knows where I can order a genuine DS key shell that I can swap my key and internals into?

The Dealer never sold replacement remote shells so highly unlikely you will find a genuine one.

Some of the Ali express ones may come with the logo on it but many of the sellers blur or edit the badge out so...

Welcome along.

Yes, it's a 1.6 Blue HDi 120 BHP. Any Adblue is OK to use - but avoid the stuff off garage forecourts, the sun degrades it. P1434 / 35 is indicative of an issue with the tank (or the wiring) - you are right that the additive should last around 100k miles. A car this late will have a refillable tank, not a bag. If it's under...

Pd-DTC might be pending codes so ones not yet bad enough to put the engine light on. You should still be able to delete these but first you should be able to see what they are if you can look under pending codes. When deleting it is done with the ignition on (dash lit up) without the engine running. Since you have no idea when these were...
