Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

If I may suggest. They use LED 5mm 20mA, color as desired. Since they are LED for a voltage of 1.5 V, they must be used with a resistor of 560 Ohm 1/4 W. There are already preconfigured LEDs with a resistor. Here's an example from Amazon :

Coolant temp sensor ohms v temp readings

by Andywal » 13 Dec 2024, 16:51

First post

Hello
Does anyone know or point me in the right direction of the ohms v temp readings for DS3Dstyle 2012 vti 120 coolant temp sensor.
I have a temp issue on my car and did suspect the sensor but I have around 6 ohms at room temp so I'm not sure now if its the thermostat which is in the housing.
Any help appreciated
Andy

Last post

A search suggests resistance goes down from about 4000 ohms as the temperature increases to about 300 ohms when hot so I suspect your temp gauge is showing max (or a fault message) but you could mention what your problem is.

Yes Jay, auto dimming lights are not well working. In Ireland, really I cannot use them on motorways - cannot recognize incoming traffic due to motorway dividing barrier at the height of headlights - DS sensors do not see incoming source of lights. Even if automatic headlights are off - still I get flashes, mostly from large trucks. Without...

Wing Mirror DS5

by Buckbyboy » 04 Nov 2024, 12:33

First post

I have purchased a replacement wing mirror following a smash. I cannot remove the wires connecting the overtaking warning light from their connectors to connect to the new mirror. The heating element connectors are easily removed from the smashed mirror. Any suggestions please. I have tugged and tugged but am fearful of snapping them off completely

Sorted now, thanks for your help

DS 7 won’t start and steering locked

by ashish28487 » 04 Nov 2024, 15:50

Hi,

We have been having issues with our DS7.

Partner drove 2 miles to drop kids to school and returned after 5 mins but the car wouldn’t start and the steering wheel locked up.

Roadside assistance came and ran diagnostics. Roadside assistance couldn’t fix the car but following error appeared:

Last post

Yes, that part is just for safety reasons.

Not saying it will fix it, but these need reinitialising when the fob battery is replaced. Maybe resetting the BSI will cure it, but if not, there's nothing lost in trying. Failing that, it will need a diagnostic to determine the fault. If you have a backup fob, have you tried that?

It’s not necessary to reconfigure the battery charge status unit for a battery replacement, just ensure you are replacing with the same battery specification. This is normally only required if changing for a different battery specification.

Is this the right start stop battery?

by kirkjames1 » 30 Oct 2024, 02:57

First post

My 2019 1.6/225 DS7 has never engaged its start/stop in the 2 months I've had it (the light just flashes a couple of times but engine does not turn off). I am not very bothered, I've read about how these can be a bit temperamental on this forum and it's not worth looking into it for me.
Except, since I know the battery is the #1 requirement, I'd...

Last post

Except, since I know the battery is the #1 requirement, I'd like to make sure that I at least got it with the right start/stop capable battery from the dealer. Any idea?

Look at the tyre pressure label on the car, down the bottom it may have the battery spec on it.
Hopefully it should say (at least) 760A (EN) EFB

Hi, first post here, hello all....

We have a Citroen DS3 with an amber engine management light on. I have plugged in an OBD2 adapter and this has given me the following confirmed code. There are some others pending.

Confirmed: P0343 Camshaft position (CMP) sensor A, bank 1 - high input.

I have removed both sensors and cleaned them but the fault...

Last post

If both sensors are identical, just buy one and then use a volt meter to check the resistance across the sensor pins to see which is the faulty one and replace that (or check them both before buying one to see if they are different). Possibly the sensor A bank 1 is the inlet cam shaft sensor. You could also unplug them separately and see if the...

As a DSuper5 according to this the production run was from August 1972 to January 1975. The side repeater as mentioned is an Italian regulation, and the clear sidelight of your photographed one is different to the 1974 model shown in the webpage here.

1973 example from Italy has the clear sidelight and round orange side-repeater on the wing...

DS 7 Headlights travel to Europe

by kirkjames1 » 14 Oct 2024, 20:56

First post

I am a bit at a loss of how to travel to Europe with a DS 7 Crossback Prestige, that seems to have the auto-adjusted LED headlights. With my previous cars I either used the load control that dips them both manually, or the stickers. I can't see how the sticker would work with the 3 LED lights, and I don't have the manual control either. Am I SOL?...

Last post

I've just checked your VIN and you have the early first generation built on 12th February 2019. It doesn't have 'adaptive cruise control' fitted (ARTIV), so you have normal cruise control and a speed regulator on this vehicle.

The camera will be used for the collision alert system, like my C3 Aircross and possibly lane wandering.

DS5 doesn't "wake up" when trying to start

by biohead » 15 Oct 2024, 13:14

First post

My DS5 has started to cause a few issues when going to start the car.
It's not the actual starting of the engine which is an issue - it's getting the car to wake up first (i,e. get into Ign On mode).

Symptoms are: Unlock the car, place the key in the holder, foot on brake and press the start button - no response at all.
If I take my foot OFF the...

Last post

No - the mirrors come out fine.
I had seen mention of this being a telltale sign of the BPGA failing, but I guess there's numerous different failure modes.

To DO get a battery charge warning message as soon as the car does turn on. It disappears instantly, but it's definitely there.
