Also tried to purge / prime the h/p pump by loosening the nut of the fuel rail but still nothing any ideas please

Never buy a THP they said.. so I did!
Took it out for its first proper run and got an engine fault (Service light and text on the screen, not EML)

No codes. So I recorded a log of throttle, rpm, boost and trims. that sounds like I know what I'm doing.. I don't lol

It's not boosting and the LTFT is at 18%. I gave the data to ChatGPT and got a...

It retries to start charging twice before it goes...

Hey everyone, just a quick Q.

Can I get new covers or will it be a whole new mirror assembly?

I have a 2018 Ds3 Performance 210, that has an intermittent staring issue.

To give a bit of history, this might be relevant… last week I changed the coolant and gearbox oil, to do this removed the battery and housing etc for access. On completion the test drive was fine no issues, only odd thing is the start stop actually worked, the first time...

I have a 2019 DS 7 with the 1.6 Puretech 225 engine. I got it 2 years ago, when it was at 47k miles. I've put on another 25 since. For the last year, I've needed to top up oil (I use the Total INEO First 0W30). My mechanic tells me it's 100% clean underneath, no leaks, so he says it happens with these engines and he does not feel it's at an...

Hi all, how do I go about setting the door mirror reverse tilt angles? It is a DS7 crossback 2021, it does tilt them in reverse but not enough. Is there a way to set them? I've tried selecting reverse, set the mirrors to where I want, press my seat memory to save but it doesn't do the usual sound of confirmation. The mirrors still don't tilt...

My 2019 DS7 Crossback has had the serpentine belt and tensioners replaced.
Since then it has started making a horrible screetching noise when the engine is started and the fan starts working full blast. Anybody know what could be causing this?

It´s been back to the mecanic to replace the new belt, thinking it could be faulty, but it just...

Hi all,
My DS5 Sports alarm has suddenly started triggering by itself after I lock it.

It's been fine and no issues and today I opened the boot using the button in the bumper with the key in pocket then shut it all again as normal and within a short time the alarm is going off

I've cancelled it then locked it using the lock button on the key and...

I'm looking to replace the turbo on my Ds3 Diesel in order to see If it sorts out an issue I have with the car after a Rac person tellin me it's maybe the problem.

I have been quoted £900+ is that the going rate?

Tia.

The stereo screen used to show the date in the center but since a battery-swap was performed, the only options now appear to only be the range and the station currently playing.

There was definitely a way to show the date there.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Bought this car 3 years ago with 80000km on the clock, it now has 125000 on the clock.

Car developed a misfire code that was not fixed by new plugs or coils (cylinder undetermined included but misfire on all cylinders and counting). As the chain was never done I did the chain and car again drove beautifully for 2 weeks after the misfires came...

Does anybody know where it is?

I need to crank the engine over without it starting and figured this would be the easiest way however I've no idea where the relay is!

Anyone?

Thanks.

Hi all
Would it be possible if someone could tell me what make the coil springs are on my Wife's 2016 DS5 2.0 Bluehdi or which ones to purchase?
I will be putting Bilstein B4 all around and just need to find out the best coil springs to match.
Thanks

Hi I have just bought a DS 7 and am awaiting delivery. Does anyone know how I can access the build sheet for my vehicle. Thanks.

Hi,

I'm at my wits end here and need some help please.

Vehicle: 1.6 THP Petrol - EP6CDT engine VIN engine code SA5FV, 83k.

Bought the car in December, EML on within hours, garage conveniently 'wound up' within a day so I've no chance of claiming/returning. It apparently had been mapped so the mechanic has removed this.

Work done (by...

Hi I have a 2012 DS4 1.6 diesel. We have no heat coming into the cabin. I have flushed and removed all air. The blower is working fine. I have hot water both sides of the heater matrix. I was reluctant to go near the flap motor as surely both motors on a dual climate car wouldn't go at the same time🤔 I am a bit stuck as to my next step. Any advice...

Hi, recently replaced the battery on my 2015 DS3.

Car was running fine before the battery change (it failed to start 10 days ago and figure it was the original battery), no fault codes, no warning lamps etc.
However since replacing it I get three warning messages on the centre console:
- Tyre Pressure Not monitored (comes on even before starting...

So I have a beautiful DS7 Crossback in Opera - love it so far but ... we have wireless charging in the centre console but for some reason there is no rubber mat!

Though I don't need the...

Hi everyone,

I have a 2013 Citroën DS3 1.6 THP (155k km) and I’m trying to diagnose an issue that only happens under heavy acceleration.

Symptoms:

Car drives completely normal under light / medium throttle
When I go full throttle, the engine light comes on
The car immediately goes into limp mode and loses power
If I clear the codes, it...

Hello!

We have purchased a DS7 Crossback Blue HDI 180 in the Opera trim during August 2024. The car was for the first time registrated during March 2019. The car has obviously so far not seen any update of the Tom Tom Traffic navigation software, so that it runs with the maps of 2018. I thought that wen we buy the 100 EUR subscription with the...

Hey everyone,
I recently bought a 2012 DS3 1.6 HDI, and I’ve noticed a strange issue with the lights. No matter if they’re set to auto or 0, they turn on while driving and stay on. It’s happening consistently, and I can’t seem to figure out why.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a fuse, faulty relay or wiring fault? I’d appreciate any...

Hi All

Me again.

Recently I had the DPF warning light coming on and I tried to clear it with a good hard long run. This did not work and the car went into limp mode (restricted power and a 2.5K rev limit). I added a decent brand of in-tank DPF cleaner in a good concentration and went for another very long run (albeit with a rev limit). This also...

Hi,
Thought I would share a recent experience with a false 'boot tailgate open' warning on dashboard, on my Citroen DS5 Blue 1.6HDi 2014.

I started getting a warning ping and message telling me the boot was open. In fact it was properly closed....

Getting my ds7 crossback 1.6 puretech on Wednesday. My son was checking out the car mot online via numberplate FG21WBX, it had failed the last test in Nov as it says ply or cord exposed, cut to centre of tyre, category dangerous. There is a new tyre on it now. Does that sound like it has ran over something or a problem with the car itself to you?...

I'm planning to pull the trigger on a 12 plate Citroen DS3 DStyle + but it doesn't have a USB socket underneath the AUX cover. This is a deal-breaker for me as I mainly listen to music from my pendrive. The lack of USB port is strange as all the other DS3's at this trim level I have viewed had it. Before I buy it, I want to make sure I can put in...

Hello,

Hi All.

first time I got in the car since I had the airbags done, the touchscreen had become unresponsive. It was perfectly fine before.
Everything still works, I just cant access or use any of it. I can use the stalk buttons to change stations etc but that's it.
Anyone had this issue? my mechanic doesn't really have any solutions and I don't...

Hi all can someone point me in the right direction for a timing belt kit for my Wife's 2016 DS5 2.0 Bluehdi.

Hi Guys

Right, Ive seen this question over several forums but no solid answer.
I had an intermittent fault with the blower motor, which has now stopped working all together.
Thought it may have been the resistor pack failing and then dying but I tested the voltage coming out of the resistor pack, 13v in 4v out. Replaced with a new pack, 13v in 0v...

I would like to obtain the build sheet for my newly acquired DS4.

I have searched the topic, read one or two 'exchanges', but still don't I understand how to make a...

2018 DS7 HDi Blue.

First weeks on December I got the orange warning lamp with risk of particle filter blockage. Please refer to the manual fault. The car does lots of short journeys which I know is not ideal for a diesel, especially during the colder months. I used a code reader which returned Warm up Catalyst threshold below threshold bank 1 ....

Hi all,
Good morning...so I've allowed for the garage to carry out the work on my ds3, this will be a new steering rack...is it rude to ask for the old one? They rang yesterday to ask what my decision was ( to either fix it or not)...they've told me that the rack ECU couldn't be repaired so I'd have to get the whole thing replaced and said they...

Hi all,
I've posted here before about my ds3 2014 diesel having a issue with ESP/ ABS lights on the dash...this has happened since I had the air bag replaced ( the recall) but citroen is adamant that it isn't related to it...since October (after the replacement) the car hasn't really been used, only occasionally when it's warm ( after leaving it...

I have a 2015 Diesel 2.0 DS5 (DS). Recently the car alarm has regularly started going off whenever it is locked - via key fob or the one remaining working keyless handle. If I press the internal alarm button, so the internal alarm is disabled (red light on button), the alarm does not go off. Therefore it appears to be a fault with the...

Hi, my 2018 DS3 Cabriolet Roof is stuck half way open!
Fuses seem OK in boot but had to replace a couple of weeks ago. Motor for roof got really hot and now doesn't work at all. Thinking I could need new Folding Roof Motors but can't seem to find these online anywhere.
Anyone got any suggestions? - Hoping it doesn't rain any time soon!
Thanks
