Hi good evening, I have a power steering leak and have traced it to the high and low pressure hose from rack to pump.(part no 4014SN) the leak is at the end closest to the rack. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Is it repairable or a replacement?
thanks

Hi, my 2013 Citroën DS5 intermittently makes a knocking noise which seems to come from the left front wheel/suspension area. I have had it examined at a wheel and shock place which tightened something but the problem persists. The noise does not seem to be caused by bumps but rather appears when I’m driving at constant speed, neither accelerating...

I've ordered the suspension sensor for my DS5. Thanks Marc for the part code 6224Q5. Hopefully this will stop the directional headlight fault appearing every time the roads are wet. The garage plugged their computer in, it said it was the front suspension sensor. I do have the PSA software on a laptop, was going to check myself but they've saved...

Hi,

I have a ds5 2013 and just had the particulate filter fluid low message pop up.

Thanks in advance!

I have searched the forum, but couldn’t find anything specific to the ds5.

I’ve got the refill kit, before I waste my time jacking up the wrong side, is it driver or passenger side (uk, right hand drive)

I’m lead to believe they’re at the rear of the car, near the exhaust.

Thanks in advance.

Dan

It might not even be by my car, but my mrs said this was underneath. Looks like a coupling, with a quick release catch.

Isn’t causing the car any harm, but driving me mad!

Whilst freeing off the adjusters for the rear toe adjustment (not a nice job) I noticed that the handbrake cable is chaffing badly on both sides at the same points, namely the top of the stub axle and then on the rear subframe mount.

Any help...
