French Car Forum

Hello everyone i am new here so hello to all.
I have a 2013 DS5 D'Sport with the semi automatic gearbox and all the toys. I was driving along happily at about 55mph when all of a sudden my dash lit up like in as a disco. Warning of Engine Failure. Then Gearbox Failure. The Handbrake Failure. Then ESP Failure. Then Role Back Failure and more.
So it...

I am travelling to France and need to fit Eurolight Protectors. Any idea how I start because of the revolving lights?

Just joined and hope I'm posting in right place and maybe someone can help? My 2013 DS5 has a lot moisture in the front left indicator and keeps blowing bulbs 4 so far in a few months. I have tried to remove it to see if it can be sealed or if not replaced but can't see how to remove it. I've removed the screw under the cover on the outside and...

Hi
So my washers no longer function - There is no sound from the relay? When they would normally activate. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on where i start with this

Thanks

Does anyone have a picture or can point me to where I would find the headlight adjustor sensors on the axle.
Is there just one, or one each side?
Need to hopefully get the automatic headlight adjuster failure resolved for the mot as this is a failure
It's a 2012 ds5 Dsport 163.

Many thanks.

Hi All,

I am thinking about upgrading the door speakers and potentially adding a subwoofer into my 2013 DS5 2.0 HDi DSport 5d Auto. Has anyone done this? Any tips or recommendations? Really appreciate any help! Thanks - Jason

My Nephew offered to jump start a friends car from his 2014 1.6 DS3, he admits he may not have had all the connections correct!!!! which may or may not have contributed to the problem below.

However, shortly after this there has been multiple warnings and issues.

1. Under inflation monitoring fault
2. Power Steering faulty
3. ESP / ASR system...

I have DS5 2013 2.0 HDI

I have an ODB code of P0181 fuel temperature out of range.
Last time, the sensor was simply disconnected (fixed FOC during a visual inspection by the garage)
Today after a road pothole I got the same error and behaviour.
I would like to check if it is disconnected again (avoiding having to go to the guarage once again as...

Well, the old lad is in disgrace. The other day I pressed the start button, dashboard started doing weird stuff, telling me the engine was faulty the gearbox was faulty, then it had a little think and decided the handbrake, sorry, parking brake was also faulty. Definitely wasn't going to start, so it didn't.
Being sensible I walked away, not until...

Hi all

Just looking for a bit of help. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to set/change the speed camera audio alerts?

I currently have them activated but they seem to randomly change the audio level and are currently really loud so every time they go off they scare the bejesus out of me!

Thanks.

Looking for a little advise, As a little background, My GF Citroen DS3 gave her a risk of filter clogging error on the dash so she took it to the garage, they said it could be multiple things so i set about rectifying them, I have removed the DPF and cleaned it out in DPF cleaner for 48 hours then flushed through with water for half an hour, i...

Hi
The misses knocked of the little compartment on drivers side. I can’t seem to get the handle on properly there’s a spring thing no idea where that goes so the compartment won’t close now.
Just wondered if I have any bits missing would it be possible for a picture of one that works.

All I have is a handle and a long spring thing.

Hi all,
Having bought an ultra-low mileage, approved used DS7 E-Tense Ultra Prestige in early December 2021 - and two months later having had it in my possession for around ten days, I thought I'd start this thread.

As for the car itself, it's exquisite. The last time I got so much wow factor was when I owned a fully loaded Citroen C6. It's one...

Been trying to find an answer to this online but no luck. Does anyone know how to or if you even can adjust the sensitivity of the automatic wipers on a DS7? Even the slightest amount of rain and they’re on full. I’ve not got the auto feature turned off for the most part. Thanks

Just had these alerts pop up. Garage says P20E8 error found, they checked & reset everything but 2miles later they are back. Wondered if any othe DS5 owners had similar issue?

My DS5H -13 came with seriously undersized (Chinese) studded tires, 215/45R17. Speedo error is big, it needs to say 90 for the car to go 80.

I'm planning to buy a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2's as the summer tires are also done and I absolutely hate seasonal wheel changes.

Will 235/55R17 fit or should I buy a set on the original 18 wheels ie...

Hello, any ideas on samsung zfold holder? Would actually be a tablet holder. I was thinking something to go where the sat nav is, since its useless on ds5 2013 haha.

Hello ,
I have an issue with the instrument panel lighting. The 3rd circular dial which shows the fuel,gear change and cruise control does not light up. It came on a few odd times and then out again. I have removed it and pressed and tapped the large green circuit board and a couple of times the light came on so im sure it has a dry joint or...

Hi
Could anyone tell me which foot welI i need to use to allow me to change the heater motor on my 2013 ds3

Thanks 😊

Just an observation from me... my DS7 is now just over 2 years old and I had an advisory on my last service that the tread on my rear tyres was close to minimum requirements. I've just replaced them having done around 21,000 miles. There was, by contrast, still plenty of meat on the fronts. I was a little surprised at that, as all of my previous...

Just received my DS7.

Nice drive, smooth, reasonably comfortable... but the infotainment system and settings.
Just wow.

Lazy french design or what. What was the point of the 12inch monitor?!
Sparse information, hardly any settings.
It’s spoiled the car for me somewhat.

Hey everyone,
New here and I wanted to pick your brains on the new DS 9 saloon?
I managed to see it in the DS Salon in Edinburgh last week. They had a Performance line plus in the showroom & it looked quite smart!
Hope the photos I have attached to this post load so that you can all see it?

Thanks for the welcomes, you seem like a friendly and knowledgeable bunch, which is what I need! I have a right hand drive 66 plate DS5 (31/12/16).

Fast forward to last...

the latest issue has been the water pump leaking, so this weekend i stripped and changed it, the timing belt wasn't overly happy too which for a car only on 72k miles wasn't overly reassuring but the coolant leak...

Hi all. I have a Citroen DS5 from 2012, i ran into a pothole and my car shakes the wheel and shudders down the road. My question is two fold, is the DS 5 prone to breaking steering components when running into potholes or may it just be the rims that are ruined. My next question is, can a DS 5 run with 17” and et 40 which are the only replacement...

I wish to paint the trendy gloss back mirror cover in the same colour as the rest of the vehicle (Blanc Nacre). I won’t attempt to do the job with it attached to the car. Can someone supply me with a diagram of the mirror which should indicate where clips and screws are on the body of it which will assist in its dismantling.

Hello everybody, Merry Christmas and Happy new year.

Hi folks can anyone tell me where the crank position sensor is located on a 2013 Ds5 Hybrid.. is it easy to replace? Thanks

Hello,

When you plug a new USB stick into a DS 7, does the car sort the music on it? I've put new folders into mine and when I plug it in it dosen't recognise them. Why? How do you do it?

Hello,

This is my first post. I have a one year old DS 7 and the heated seats have stopped working. I pulled out the handbook for the fusebox, but found it incomprehesible! Is there any other way of checking the fuse?

New to forum so bear with me please.
I have a 2013 Ds5 sport. The radio sat nav CD etc have all stopped working.
Basically everything connected to the centre console.
I ran a diagnostic and it came up saying no codes to report or pending.

If so could any one point me to which fuse?
