Citroen C5 X7 2.0 HDI 140KM 2010r - strange problem

Unread post by martomasz »

Hello,
I own a C5 for 2 years now. Unfortunately every now and then it starts to jerk, throws up "emissions" errors on the display, ESP error, check engine etc.
Sometimes it jerks less, sometimes it goes out. It cannot be started immediately, after a few times - a few minutes it starts. Always. Nevertheless, after it died today at a railway crossing and threw out an electric handbrake error - without being able to push the car....... I wanted to sell it. After 15 minutes it started up as if nothing had happened and drove home.

This happens about once maybe twice a month.

Errors in the file:

Can you help?
Thanks in advance

Hi

Not really using that, as the report is over a year old and looks to be a cumulative log of various faults over a year.

You need to run a Global Test, check out the faults listed, make a not of the fault codes, then clear these, take it for a spin, then come back and see which ones return. Then let us know which ones remain.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.

Hello,

So the errors cleared, and the reading after about 3 weeks.
Interestingly, 3 days ago it stalled on the road and did not start - despite erasing the errors on the spot. A reading was taken at the time. The engine was revving, not firing.
Checked connections on ecu and BSM, cleaned, contact spray. Started like gold... It ran for 2 days without stuttering. Yesterday it died, would not start. Roadside assistance - on a tow truck it started without a problem....
Dropped off the tow truck, drove home. 300 metres - engine stopped. It does not start. Phone call to the tow truck driver, second tow truck within 30 minutes and standing by the house. Where to start?
