Hello!

For a while now my car is overheating when I drive at highway speeds.
The dash temperature is stable at 90c but after I reached aprox 130kmh it starts to increase really fast in like 4 seconds it goes to maximum and when I release the gas pedal it quickly drops back to 90c, again in few seconds.
We replaced the Thermostat, last year we...

My regular journey from home involves a 40mph limit followed by a 30mph limit, perhaps half a mile from home. I use cruise control set to 42, as I know that this is 40 in reality. When I turn this down to 32 for the 30 limit I find that about half of the time it cancels shortly after. No errors, just the standard message displayed just as if I'd...

Hi, over the past couple of months my clutch has become extremely squeaky. It only seems to do it when the weather is hot or when it's warmed up after driving for 10 minutes. It's noisy when the clutch is pressed and released slowly. Sounds more like a creaking. I've had two garages check and both say it's working fine and just squeaky (one said...

The DS9 car is so rare I probably won't get a response anytime soon but here goes.

Prior to purchasing my petrol DS9 performance line+ (non active scan suspension) I test drove a pHEV Rivoli with active scan for a day, circa 80 miles. The suspension was very good, well unnoticeable really which is how it should be.

On that version there are 5...

Hello
This is a strange one). After 3 weeks of not using my Ds7 1.5hdi I started up the engine. It was cranking bit longer than usual, but fired up. I moved it a bit, switched off, put a battery on charge and after some time on the next start:
1. Clock didn't pop out
2. Have your engine repaired pop out
3. Tyre pressure monitor start blinking

Hi all,

I have a 2016 DS3 that I purchased in February. Since owning the car I've had nothing but issues with it. It's been in the garage more than it's been out!

First issue was ESP/ASR faulty and brake lights stopped working. I had a brake sensor replaced and it seemed to work.

Multiple issues after this but won't bother going into detail....

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Diagbox (but not to car repair and diagnosis in generel).

I own a 2013 DS5 Hybrid4 ( VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] ) and when connecting diabox I see the following:

ECUs not recognised.jpg

Would that be expected (the unrecognised ECU's I mean)? ....It turns out that when entering 'Hybrid Control ECU 1' I can get a State of Health...

Hello everyone. I’ve recently acquired a 2014 DS5 1.6 eHDi EGS6 with a drive issue. Basically it feels like the clutch is slipping. It will change through the gears ( I’ve gone from 1st to 3rd ) and there are no warning lights. When you take your foot off the brake the car does not creep forward and if you are on a hill , it rolls back. When you...

Hi all, in trying to diagnose and repair my family members DS3 fault. She states that when raining 8/10, when you select any of the wiper settings (from intermittent to full speed) it works. The times it doesn't, what happens is when you select any of the levels, the wipers will for a bit then the will just won't do anything at all.

Hi,

Recently air fan/blower started to fail while operating at max speed (or one level slower). After 2-3 minutes of blowing at max speed, if reduced blowing force to minimum (I can barely feel a breeze on my hand) and I can hear some clicking sound coming behind the dashboard. To re-start the fan, I switch it off and turn back on, on slower...

Hi,
New owner of a DS4 from 2015. I'm getting a fault warning for the adaptive xenons. Pretty sure I've found the fault to be the rear Headlight level sensor. It's not connected to the axle anymore - see below.

Q1. Do I have to buy the whole sensor or is the moving arm part replaceable?
Q2. Does anyone know part number/ a good place to get a...

I’m experiencing some very strange symptoms with my DS5 Diesel Hybrid 2013. It all began in February when we were having some very low temperatures here, around -20 C. After a cold night there were engine errors and the car refused to start. Kind of gave up and after some days it get warmer and the car eventually started okay, no problems what’s...

Hi guys, my Citroen ds5 hybrid 4 starts the engine every time I start the car instead of going off in hybrid mode. The hybrid mode still works but the engine stays on tick over so I don't get the stop start anymore. Everything else in the car is working fine. I've got a service light popped up. There are two codes that's got something to do with...

Hi,
My drivers door mirror has stopped extending fully each time I unlock the car.

Is this a simple fix or just a sign of a worn out motor?

Sometimes it starts working again but mostly is only extending a little so is intermittent

Any way to get into these to lubricate and are they simple to remove and replace

Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

Whilst nosing around my new (to me) 2015 DS4 I noticed there is a connector unconnected to the rear plastic tank which I'm guessing is the Urea tank and not the fuel? Car runs fine and judging by the corrosion on the pins this has been disconnected for a while. Would this suggest there has been an AdBlue delete? It wasn't mentioned by the previous...

Can somebody advise please.

Hi don't know if you can help but my DS5 62 plate multimedia control switch has stopped working, the info screen is ok but not responding when using the control switch, could this be as simple as a blown fuse and if so where would I find that fuse, any guidance would be appreciated many thanks Graham

Daughter has just bought a 17 plate Ds 3, 1.2 PureTech and wants it servicing. Can anyone recommend which oil should be used 0w 30 or 5w 30? I've looked on the forums and it's a bit confusing what oil type I should use. Also, does anyone know at what mileage/year the wet belt should be changed. Thanks.

Hi,
When I unlock the car the drivers rear door lock makes sort of squeaking moan.

Can you get to these to lubricate them or are they sealed and need replacing fully?

Easy access or difficult to get to?

Cheers

Dave

Hi,
May well be a very simple solution to this but my DS5 is very lazy at turning over to start on cold mornings

Wondering if it's just the case of an aging battery or something else

Works fine in all other conditions and no visible dips in lighting etc

Has any one removed the stereo on a ds3 hatchback 2023?

2019 DS7 Rivoli

The drivers side door doesn't open or close using touch. The other three doors and hatch all work perfectly as they should.

Searching the forum suggests that it is almost certainly a failed handle sensor and the only solution is to obtain a new door handle.

Is this correct?

I got the check engine light today, together with a Urea light and a message stating the Urea system had a fault. This was shortly after I'd seen puffs of steam while reversing, possibly related?

Hi guys,

Just bought 2017 DS5, fantastic car, but cannot solve a small problem.

Hi all

Hi guys!

This my first post on the forum and I need your help!

Today I experienced my first problem with the DS after almost 3 years of ownership

After a long trip (about 1000km) I realised that the passenger door handle was stuck in open position... I'm sure that I wasnt driving with it like that whole trip.

When I push it in and then...

Hi, put deposit down on a 16 plate DS5 Prestige 150, hopefully one I don't regret.
One thing I would like to do, is replace the top of the gear lever. The numbers have faded. Unfortunately finding DS 5 parts seems incredibly tough, so wondered if anyone knew what the part number was or where could buy one from?
Many thanks [-o<

Hey all,

Looking to grab the build sheet for the following VIN number:

VR1**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Could I also get confirmation that this car has the improved battery (?) as there seems to be 2 variants of the car floating around, one with a 206 mile rated range and another with a 232 mile range.

Many thanks!

Hello All,

I recently purchased a 2015 1.2 Puretech from CoPart (I know!) 43,327miles.

The car idles roughly and has a constant stream of Grey smoke out the exhaust.

It appears to have had a new cam belt and the engine appears to have had a good clean with no oil or residue in the boost pipes or PCV pipes.

I have cleaned the camshaft...

I have a 22 plate DS7 E tense when i got the car it would charge to 31 miles, but after a few weeks this dropped to 28 miles, i spoke to the DS Garage and got told this was normal to get some loss on the charge.
