I have had my 2012 DS5 car inspected by my local independent Citroën mechanic, and he has advised that the bearings in the hybrid alternator are the cause of the noisy engine, and that the OEM Citroën part would be none too cheap new, he advised that I could try to seek a 2nd hand replacement part if possible. He is going to get back to me with...

Hey all,

Am looking over the next week or so to fit an Android Auto middleman box to my DS5 while retaining the factory SMEG (I believe in my case, an IV2 unit), with this unit:

However, to do so I'll need to take the center console apart, as seen in this video:

BUT - My DS5 is different to the one shown in the video, especially as the gear...

I have a 2012 DS5 h4 Hybrid 2.0L TDI. We have had the car a couple of months and it starts and drives well, but over the last few weeks it has developed what can only be described as a 'Loud Thud' coming from the rear when you let of the throttle and the car goes into 'regenerative mode'. It also feels sometimes that the car is being pushed on by...

Noticed the other day the top belt tensioner was chattering up and down at tick over speed and could not get it to run smoothly.

So today I bit the bullet and purchased new gates belt and both...

Hi everyone. I currently own a 2018 DS5 and I love it to bits. But one thing that always annoys me and many other DS5 owners is obviously the suspension. The ride is very rough on patchy roads and potholes.
But, as if it couldn't get any worse.

Last night I was driving down the motorway, everything was fine and smooth. As soon as I get to a speed...

Hi all,

I have a 2016 DS3, the washer for both the front & rear has stopped working, it's not a blockage it's definitely the pump not working. I checked the 10A fuse in position F3 in the under bonnet fuse box, it was blown so I changed it but still nothing. I tried a new washer pump, still nothing.

Anything else worth checking?

Many thanks
