Hello. I am new here. I bought a used etense from 2020. after a month of driving, the electric brake got stuck and the console showed a problem with the brakes and a crash detection failure. All fuses ok. Where to look? After unlocking the brakes, the car drives normally, but errors are displayed.

Hi all,

Thanks for the join….

I was wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible to change the chrome on the front bumper on the prestige to black like the performance line?
Love the look of that, but love the spec of the prestige

Thanks in advance

Weird one this but I went out this morning and some drips of water came out of the overhead unit in the roof, from the corners of the part of the display which shows the seat belts (photo attached). I can only assume this must have been condensation forming on the glass roof and collecting in the unit. Has anyone else ever experienced this. I've...

Hi, I have a ds3 1.6 diesel in which the adblue injector needs replacing as its showing signs of leaking. I've looked online and it looks simple to replace, however once the new one is installed do you have anything with the cars electronics in order to accept the new part?
Thank you.

Hi all,

My daughters 2013 DS4 2.0 hdi sport, to give it its full title as she says is a great little car but some recent issues are causing doubts.
Her windscreen washer stopped, cruise control is intermittent and the aircon isn't working just yesterday. I checked and flushed the aircon system and leak tested, all OK so refilled.

As I had seen...

Wondering if anyone is able to give me any insight what might be causing these codes?
The car has had a lot of work done at the garage since I bought it 8 months ago it’s becoming a nightmare. It’s had a new clutch and second hand gearbox fitted, new timing chain, oil change/filter change, new camshaft sensors - that’s just the work to the engine...

Hey guys.

I have just recently just bought a DS3 the rear wiper originally seems slow.. After using the washer on the rear window (so basically adding water) the wiper ran smooth.

After this the wiper won't stop no matter what position.

Can any one advise on the best course of actions to diagnose this..

Evening :-D

Posting for a friend but I’ll be fixing it no doubt

Looking at a DS3 Airdream Sport diesel, and the guy selling it says that the esp light is on, but the car has been running fine. The car is priced right for my budget, but do I buy and investigate, or avoid?

Hey all,

Now my last bout of issues seems to be fixed, I'm wondering about the servicing interval for the timing belt / chain on my car, as another family member just suffered from a broken timing belt and I definitely don't want the same happening to me!

Many thanks!

I don't know where else to put this, but the new DS7's software has some flaws.

1 - Every single time I enter my car, I start the car in French, because the system does not recognize I do not speak French and my language preference (English) is being ignored.
2 - Why do I constantly have to start the hybrid battery charging manually? Why can it...

Does anybody know the size of the hole in the glass, since i will get a glassplug custommade for it.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
Just wondering if using a diesel additive such as redex direct in the tank when filling is worth it. Is there any benefit to this as the car has an adblu system so I would imagine the fuel and exhaust system would be fine as it is.

Hi everyone,
