DS5 Hybrid 2.0 grinding noises from rear

I have a feeling something has broken in the rear electric motor.

When put in to neutral no issue, but as soon as a forward or reverse is engaged and throttle is applied, the car barely moves. Sound from rear is very loud.

Last post

Hard to tell if this is part of the transmission reducer (if it has a bearing noise) which is part of the electric motor sub-assembly or something else to do with the piloted gearbox....

Only a proper look will determine the problem, but fingers crossed it's not the electronic reduction gear, as that's a tad under £2.2k

Thanks for your reply I thought that may have already been installed, as my DS5 is a 2017 performance edition.
I was quite surprised that it didn't have a reversing camera to be honest for the age of the vehicle, one the last years the DS5 was made, plus the visibility isn't the best in the DS5.

superknock is just a really big knock. The engine ECU is continually adjusting the ignition timing so that the combustion is just on the edge of knocking (which is the most efficient setting), but the knock produced during this process is slight and inaudible.

Hi! I have a ds3 cabrio THP 156hp from 2013.

Firstly, if you are having trouble reading the oil level on the dipstick, try placing the end of the dipstick on a paper towel, the oil is easier to see on the paper.

Don't start the engine if the level is more than a few mm high.

I believe that the low oil warning is sticky and you need to start the engine a few times (5?) before it goes away....

No completely wrong.

The 2 front inner sensors are the same as the 4 rear sensors.

First of all, you have an outstanding After-Sales Recall, reference 'JJM' - C5X, DS4 (D41) Software Download the new versions of some software.

So I would get it booked in for the updates, which will be free of charge at your dealership.

Very sorry, but we don't condone and cannot offer any support on this Forum if you have had the DPF, and Emissions systems removed. This is illegal to do for public road-using vehicles.

DS5 2013 156THP - Rocker cover

So i had the car in service for throttle body replacement, and they stated that: there's a hard negative presure in the engine / valve is open -> Rocker cover needs to be changed.
Causing high oil consumption.

Without really thinking more of it, i ordered a new rocker cover with seals, part 0248Q2, and i've replaced the old one.

Thank you for looking in at that, and for your reply.
Yea i'm just going to leave it as it is. If it would be an important / real part, it would probably have a number and shown in PSA parts cataloge, and most likely provided with all rocker cover sets, or at least mentioned in repair guides.

Hi! I've just got a new '23 plate DS3 - loving the car, however I seem to have an issue with the Speed Limit Recognition displayed on the dashboard. It would appear that the car correctly reads the speed, but thinks they're showing km, so as I'm in the UK it converts them to miles giving me meaningless speeds. The car is set to the UK and to...

Check ALL the system settings in the Touchscreen to make sure that MPH is set. If the speed sign for a road is obviously wrong and in KMs, then a setting is not set correctly. Make sure that the UK is set as the default country under Navigation Search. On many occasions a software update can default it back to France and this can affect the...

Features are added and removed with different models and build dates, with the most common feature of window closing still available on many models, but window opening was removed on many models even as far back as the 2005 C5 facelift, yet it was available on the earlier MK 1. Crazy.

Never a good idea to bypass these things for safety reasons, risk of fire not to mention invalidating your insurance, so better that you are getting it replaced.

If it's not attempting to start or turn over, then a supply issue if the AA checked the battery. Could be the supplies and protection unit, but without any codes, it will be fishing to be honest.

Heater Issue

by gazbe1975 » 26 Nov 2023, 08:30

First post

I have a DS4 2011, the heater has decided to only blower hot air out of the passengers side whereas the drivers side still works but only blows cold air.
Both sides adjust the speed correctly, it is just the temperature that is different.

Last post

Had my car in a local Peugeot specialists, they said my problem was with this part (Air Flap Motor Heater Actuator -- TI002120VE) & they sourced a brand new part for just £25 including fitting.
My car is now warm on both sides plus the rear demister wasn't working, which was a bad connector & they sorted that was well.

Saving Electric Charge

Have a read of your manual. You need to activate the e-save option after setting the range you wish to reserve for use on electrical power. If the range you request is not available based on the current charge of the traction battery, then the combustion engine will kick in to charge the battery to get to the desired battery charge level before...

Whilst much is made of the procedure, it's just a computer and if you power cycle it, it will reboot. Important thing is to give it enough time to go to sleep before power off, and then allow it to reboot gently before making the voltage jump about cranking it.
