Could I possibly DIY 🤔 all brake pads on my C5?

[Sheyhoon]

Jack's arriving today. I'm going to get those lambda sensors out today! I was examining the top one last night & found it clipped at multiple places, not sure where the connector ends but will see. A few pics below;

Lambda Sensor won't come out! Not a flinch! Grrrr . I even tried to disconnect it first but still wouldn't disconnect from the female chassis. I'll try again this weekend.

It is anticlockwise isn't it?

[Sheyhoon]

I doubt it's ever been changed.

Try tightening it slightly first. If there is rust on the threads trying to undo the sensor will just cause the rust to act like a wedge and bind. Tightening it first can cause the rust to fall away, so it then does not wedge.

Lovely. Thanks . I'll try that!

Top sensor done. Bottom one erm ...hopefully today. I'll try the pads this weekend too. Been so busy with work.

Audio upgrade coming up too. I'm looking at changing the dash to fit a proper touch screen from China with new speakers. I found some on ebay but audio unit definitely China.

Transmission Oil Pressure Switch...I think that's beyond my wit.

Found the bottom O2 sensor. I can hardly move underneath the car, I need more room. It's like a 10min job but no room grrrr to manoeuvre.

Oh forgot to mention I'm fat! hehehe...

What to do?

[rrijken]

If you cannot get the car any higher, get help would be my suggestion. Also do not use the socket here as there is, as said very little space, just get the right size wrench in there and then it will be 'easy'.

Any luck with the brakes?

[Sheyhoon]

Hi Rrijken,

Oh thanks for the tip. A wrench definitely .

I'll do the brakes this weekend hopefully!

[Sheyhoon]

I got this few minutes ago. What does it mean?

It's a new sensor.

[rrijken]

Is the sensor a cheap one from China?

Did you do:

connect lexia PC to car and reset all auto adaptives

[Sheyhoon]

Sensors all OK. Did some terminal tests with my multimeter. Rectified issues. Passed MOT flawlessly hurrah!

Can't wait to upgrade the audio, just awaiting delivery. Pioneer speakers delivered. New dash delivered. I'm bent towards insulating the car some more ...

Brakes done effortlessly didn't even break a sweat!

I found this today underneath RH Passenger seat and not sure what it is.

If you mean the RH rear seat then it's the cover over the TSU (tank sender unit). It's in the same place on virtually all PSA cars. The TSU can also incorporate an in-tank fuel pump if that particular engine needs one.
