Hi Everyone. I received my new DS7 on Monday
I ordered a factory fitted towbar as an optional extra. It wasn't easy trying to find any information on this prior to ordering and even just to find out if it was detachable was difficult enough. Even the dealers were struggling to confirm or find info on it. Anyway it was confirmed as detachable,...

Hi I have a ds3 crossback, perf line. 1.2L petrol, 69 plate.
Has anyone had an issue with a blocked camshaft pump… or something along those lines? My car is currently having the wet belt changed and they have come across this problem too 😔
Do you think the blocked camshaft pump is related to the wet belt and parts breaking off of it?

I have a P0299 error code and the car is not going into boost.
I have done some research and the it seems that the suspect areas are as below.
Any ideas where I should start looking?

Good afternoon, the fuse for the front 12v plug blew so I went to change it and I found the wiring like this infront of the fuse box. Is this normal or has someone had the dash off before I bought the car?

Hi Guys

I'm new to the forum and wondered if anyone has had a similar experience. I have a 2011 DS3 DStyle Auto and a couple of months ago whilst dropping my husband off at the pub the EPS light came on whilst driving through town for no apparent reason. I also noticed at the time the fan started running after each journey (I work from home so...

I got a message last night telling me to check the Dipped Beam lights, the sat nav is directing me to the nearest dealer. If I restart it comes on a dull weird orange for a few seconds, then goes off when the message appears.

The manual says it's a dealer-only job due to high voltages. I promise to be careful, obviously the ignition will be off...

Hi,

I am in the process of trying to repair a rear passenger window regulator.
Have removed the relevant bolts /screws (around the door handle and the one on side of door).
Have come to a halt trying to remove the door card.
Is it just a matter of pulling the door card off now - pull out from bottom and then lift upwards?
The door card seems VERY...

Hi,

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this forum but I wanted to ask if I could fit the oem xenon on my non xenon DS3. I am just curious if anyone has done it. I know I should have just got one with the xenons already in it but I didn’t think at the time. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I am new here, so hopefully this will all go well :-)
I have a DS7 Louvre and am experiencing some weird things with it.
The rear ventilation keeps blowing air and I am unable to shut it.
My Yorkie sits in the back getting this blown in his face, so I need to cover it off with a towel.
On the touch screen I do not have a tab to adjust the...

Hi my 2013 2.0 HDi won't channel air to the footwell. The blower works great through the screen and face vents but nothing to either side downwards. I can find info on here on faulty blowers and can see flap actuators and motors on ebay but so far no info on where they are positioned or even if, as various posts seem to suggest, the plastic gear...

My car is Citroen DS5 2.0 HDi 163 hp from 2014

Had my 2019 DS7 for about 5 months now, purchased from a dealer as DS APPROVED USED with 2 years warranty, Noticed the other week that several pieces of the Alloys wheel trims, the long thin sausage shaped silver pieces, have gone missing, NO damage to the wheels whatsoever. These look as if they are stuck or rivetted onto the wheels. Just had the...

Hi

Hi everyone,
As above, who do people use for their servicing in the Leicester area?

Need the cambelt/waterpump doing on my DS5 as it's just gone over 120k

Anyone local to here that has any advice?

Cheers 👍🏻

Our DS5 is 7 years old, but it spent 4 of those in Scotland unfortunately, which is likely to be a bad thing. I saw it underneath when having some work done at a garage and was concerned to see quite a lot of surface rust. My intention is to keep this car as long as possible until it stops working, and it looks like the underside would be the...

I've found that the DS5's wheels (19 in my case) are right out to the edges of the wheelarches which, together with the rounded-under sills, means that there's not much bodywork behind the tyres. After a few normal drives round the country lanes around here it looks like it's completed a rally. So I've decided to ruin that concept car styling by...

Hi all, just changed the window / handbrake control cluster, now the handbrake is showing a fault and won’t work properly…… please help :( :(

Hi all
Anyone else had timing belt issues with the DS crossback 69plate?
8-[

Anyone know where it is in the car ?

Can’t find any videos on a ds7 (in fact there doesn’t seem to be any info on the ds7 online or manuals )
I can only find ds4 vids which shows it behind the glove box and you have to pull half your car apart to change it ?

Has any one taken the front bumper off their ds7 ?
Maybe for bulbs etc

Wondering how easy it is ?

I’ve searched the net but can’t find anything. In fact any info on the ds7 is scarce

Has anybody put on or already have the 20’ alloy wheels in a ds7 ?

How does it affect the rude quality over the 19” alloys?

I’m in two minds if I’m going for the 20’ or just refurb the 19’

Hi,

My drive belt snapped on the way home and I've checked the pulleys and the tensioner (the one you see when you open the bonnet) and they all seem ok, is there another hidden tensioner on this car? heard there might be two if it has start/stop (eco mode/stat/stop has never worked)

Any ideas? I've got a belt (Dayco1020) but can't seem to fit...

Hello all, just got my ds7 ultra prestige 180 on an 18 plate. Had it a day and three lights came on engine fault, ad blue and the spanner. Would these all be linked to just the Adblue being low? Disappointing that the dealer should’ve checked the levels / topped up and reset computer etc. They’ve been to collect my car and gave me a courtesy car...

Good morning all,

As per the title i have a couple of questions.

1) How quickly does your engine heat up? After driving around for around 20mins it is still not at optimum temp. Any ideas? Is the thermostat stuck? If so where is it in a 2012 DS5 2.0 HDI?

2)Rear demister; does the top rear window work? When i turn the rear demister on the main...

Hi

If you want a specific diagram, let me know the system (A/C, Electric Windows / Central Locking etc.) and then pop your VIN up. I should then be able to pop you a Hi Res. diagram up here.

Dave, new to this forum and seeking advice.

I have a 2010 Ds3 dsport, 1.6 diesel 110hp.

I'm looking to fit new injector seals, but struggling to find correct torque specs for the clamp hold down bolt.

I have fitted many spark plugs over the years and always just nipped them up with the plug spanner but seeing as this is a newer car I thought I better do it proper with torque setting. But I cannot find the torque setting anywhere. On parts sites I am getting between 10 to 23nm so anyone know which it is pleas ?

Hi everyone,

I’m new here but hoping someone may be able to help me out please. I’ve had my 2013 DS3 for a couple of months and all was fine until this week.

Engine felt rough and lacked power and when I finished my journey the engine fan stayed on full blast for about 5-10 mins.

Today the engine management light came on and I have 2 errors....

We recently have a DS3 joined the family, but it has come with a seat defect. The upper lever that should release the seat back and also let the seat slide forward does nothing. I naturally assumed the cable was broken, but this turns out not to be the case. What has happened is that the lever the cable pulls on, behind the mechanism plastic...
