French Car Forum

Hey guys,

I'm interested and in the process of planning the acquisition of a new (ideally New, not reconditionned) HV High Voltage battery for my Citroen DS5 Hybrid 4 (2012). I really like the car and its hybrid mode (but especially the design), however, the range is too low, and usually it's a bit too weak. It barely makes about 200 meters on...

Hello everyone,

I am from China and currently drive a 2022 DS9 Opéra Fuel Version. I recently came across information about a recall regarding the tire pressure labels, which initially suggested pressures of 2.4 for the front and 2.2 for the rear. However, the correct pressures should be 2.4 for both front and rear.

My local dealership has...

I have a 2013 DS4 which went in to another garage to have the slave cylinder on the gearbox changed as it was leaking. No lights on the dash prior to this. After it was done, the service light, ESP light, Stop light and Auto Brake off light are all on the dash. The only fault is in the ABS module and is C1383. This fault will clear but will...

Has anyone had an issue of the back suspension jumping sidewards when going over manhole covers?

I have posted about this issue previously as it was intermittent. Now I have a permanent error come up that is a tyre pressure monitoring fault. The display show all 4 tyres.
I read the code and it's C1604(95) under TPMS. Any ideas anyone?

TIA

I have a 2021 DS7 Crossback Louvre. The n/s rear light had water in it and I reported it, double figure emails and phone calls later it has failed and now does not work.
I can’t tell you how bad the customer service has been and the dealership are downright rude and obnoxious. I have now been a week without a car with no end in sight.
Apparently...

Hi,

I have a citroen DS5 2012 model 2.0 ltr hybrid.

The car has a noisy drive belt which makes a lot of noise when idle and with a bit of acceleration the noise is gone. I have looked at the belt and looks like the tensioner is wobbling.

I am getting this fixed however the car is also got a warning when turning the car on but no engine...

I have just purchased a 2018 DS7 with a dodgy fuel cap, I have to pry open the flap to fuel the car, it looks like something is missing as there is what looks like bluetac holding the flap shut. Could someone advise me what is missing or send me a picture of the inside of the filler cap please 🙏 20240422_174216.JPG

I have a DS Automobiles DS5 2016 which has stopped providing traffic alerts. My Citroen dealer has recommended updating the SAT NAV but I cannot see any evidence that that affects traffic alerts. Does anyone know whether there is another reason for these to have stopped (e.g. traffic alerts are no longer provided by the manufacturer, as Honda has...

Hi Guys

Hello.

I hope I am utilizing this forum space correctly.
I have a Citroen DS5 VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
The Eolys additive needs to be refilled.
I saw on the Citroen service manual that the type of fluid depends on the color of the tank clickfit.
For Blue Clickfit I must use Eolys Powerflex.
For Green Eolys 176 or Infeneum F7995
and for neither...

Apologies if this has been asked before.
I have a 2017 DS5 that seems to have carplay and mirrorlink on it. I know mirrorlink is no longer supported and most cars now have android auto.
Has anyone found any adapter that can plug in that will connect to the mirrorlink and allow me to connect my Samsung S23ultra via android auto?
TIA
Paul

Hi All
Posted a few times over the months about this. I have a DS3 Prestige which is a 2016 but does not have Android Auto or Mirrorlink and I would like it :)

I have noticed that you can now buy these screens that appear to just connect to your phone and they are used instead of your phone.

Does anyone have one of these that owns a DS3? I...

Can anyone tell me what pipe is on the Airbox of a DS3 turbo and where is it going? I want to do an intake on my DS3 and do not know what to do with the vacuum pipe once the airbox is removed.

Hi
I have just bought a 2016 DS3 1.6HDI Prestige 120PS, lovely car.
As I understand it, there should (or could) be a possibility that I can get Mirrorlink on it.
Currently it just has the Internet Browser thing and I thought that Mirrorlink was standard (turns out nah).
Anyways, firstly, is it possible to get this? This would save me having to...

Hi everyone, I'm new here so here is my first post.

I have a DS5 Hybrid4. When starting cold, the Zero Emission mode works fine, but after a while, it no longer does. After doing a diagnostic, it came out with P0A82 (fault in the HV battery cooling) and P0A7E (HV battery getting too hot). There are obviously related.

After inspecting at the rear...

Hello,

I’ve decided to go and check the lens of my headlights because i’m not satisfied of the visibility.

I went to one of the best from my city who reconditions headlights and just gave me the news that the lens are smoked after putting a new xenon bulb.

Looking on the system he told me that he is not sure how everything works there, he never...

Hi, My left rear light has turned into an aquarium once more, despite having all my lights replaced previously. The last replacement was four years ago, and now I'm facing a 650 euro charge for a new unit from DS. I've come across instances where such replacements were covered at no cost. Could anyone share how they managed to get this done? The...

Hi there,
I have an annoying kind of popping noise that seems to come from both front doors seals of my DS5 (of 2011), it looks like a friction noise between highly dried seals and that can be heard only when the weather is dry (never when humid/rainy).
Could anyone help me to solve this issue please?
I was thinking of replacing the front left and...

I see that the correct part number is 7013xz which I am finding very difficult to find other than new at £180.

Hi, I have a ds3 crossback 19 plate, a kind gentleman recently helped me jump start the car after my dashcam draining the battery, since doing this the infotainment system doesn't work, which in turn means my parking sensors, heating and all other things controlled by it won't work, also USB port doesn't work, can someone help me with this?

Hi everybody,

I would like to ask for your opinion regarding the software updates for engine and gearbox.
I understood that there may be some updates available (now depends if the last owner made them or not, needs to be checked).
I heard that on engine side some bugs were detected after 2015 for this engines (maybe for others also), 2.0 163hp,...

I’ve had DS 3 HDI 2016 with for about 4 months. Car has be spot on but I’ve just noticed after driving for 5-10 minutes and then pulling up and sitting in idle, I can hear what sounds like a pump coming from the rear, it comes on about 6-7 times with about 10 seconds inbetween. It sounds exactly like the rear wiper motor but obviously it is not...

Hi all,

I recently purchased a 2010 Citroen DS3 1.6 THP Sport Chic as my first car. :-D

The previous owner was using the Bluetooth perfectly fine. However, I am having some trouble pairing my iPhone 8.

My phone picks up the car, and when I do a scan from the car it picks up my phone. Either way, the request for the authentication code pops up...

Hi all
I have a 1.6 BlueHDi Elegance 3d 2016, I helped a colleague charge his battery, all of a sudden my car stopped completely, and wouldn't start again. Some lights come on.

Happy weekend everyone,

After a fault codes scanning with a clone Diagbox 9.91 i said that i want to take a look on Diesel additive pump, maybe i can see the level of Eolys.

Hi all, new to this forum after picking up my ds 7 crossback louvre two days ago. So far well happy with it! One question though does anyone know how to stop the red sos button near the interior mirror flashing. Looking at the ds app the emergency battery needs replacing but can't find out how to do this if anyone can help, thanks..

Hi All, I am thinking to buy a 1-2 year old DS9, but I am a bit worry as not too many of them in the UK and not much information about their reliability. The DS9s are just sitting on the autotrader months, not selling and not needed and I am unable to understand why. Also, some of the drivers were complaining about the Stellantis and that when...

Hi does anyone have a fuse box diagram for the ds3 crossback? Not sure what fuse is for what and looking for any help on this. Thanks.

Dear All

My wife has a 2015 DS5 HDI DSport which has handsfree locking. Over the last day or two, the car has on occasion refused to lock as if one of the doors has been left open, each time this has eventually resolved itself after a bit of waiting but it's obvious a problem if/when it occurs again. Whilst driving she noted the warning rear...

I often like to drink cold and hot (non-alcoholic) beverages whilst on a wee run - but having only one driver-accessible cup holder in the door is pretty poor! This is compounded by the fact that the cup holder seems to be designed for espresso sized beverages... Anybody got any solutions (that aren't those wee random cupholders that hang off the...

Hi all,

First post here. I've recently purchased a DS3 2016 1.2 PureTech. I love the car but after around a week then heater/blower/Aircon stopped working. It's been freezing and wet so not ideal. I changed the F11 fuse and nothing so guessing it's the motor or resistor. I ordered a resistor and have just checked the panel and is soaking wet,...
