Welcome to the delights of Citroen ownership.
After owning one you will never look back.

If you went back to an ordinary car like me, you will soon miss the smooth ride of a Citroen..

I saw the light and returned..

The ride is awesome :lol:

Only problem I've had so far is I've seen the "Anti-pollution fault" on the display a couple of times. Does seem to be when I'm giving it a bit of a booting though lol and if I pull up and reset the service light it stays away.

Hoping to figure out which fault code reader is compatible soon then I'll check it out :)

Welcome to the FCF :D

Good choice with the C5, I do like those, see my sig ... :lol:

The chat is great here and there is a good and growing knowledge of the C5s too.

To get the codes read on your C5, you'll need to get it connected to a Lexia, that should be able to tell you what is amiss.

We have a 2.0HDi SX C5 too, its also in purple 'Misty Lilac' like yours :lol:

The ELM327 readers on eBay are compatible with all petrol cars from 2001 upwards, my car included and they can do things like read stored fault codes, reset the service/management light, display sensor data, live logging etc. Only £14 mine cost! Then I used it with my laptop and some free OBD II software :)
