Hi,
Does anyone know if i can put 2din radio in place of original screen (7 inch or something close to that)?
Obolikol.

I have a Citroen Spacetourer and whenever I run a global test with a Diagbox (9.150) I get the fault:
ESP90 (CAN bus ground adhesion or high speed 2):
Fault: Absence of signal
Status: Fugitive
Authomatic breaking in case of collision risk: Inhibited

I can clear the fault, but as soon as I run the test again, it pops up again. Everything else...

On the Citroen C6 2.7 HDI model year 2007, the bonnet can no longer be opened because the cable has broken somewhere and the lever in the interior is not working.
Is there an easy way to get to the broken cable and open the bonnet?
Where does this cable travel the most?
How is the cable replaced and what has to be removed?
Greetings Wolfgang

Hi Folks,
on my 2010 C4GP 1.6hdi (auto) I have a P0299 code (turbo pressure lower than reference flow) - It is actually reading turbo pressure but there is no vacuum to the turbo 'lever' (turbo end of pipe 7 in picture below). The 'lever' does actually move freely by pushing it and seems to hold the vacuum (pulling the pipe off and putting finger...

Hi all,

I have Citroen C4 coupe 2007, it has front and rear parking sensor.

Nothing happen as you park the car, even no car drow appear on the LCD when you park the car.

I tried my car parking module...

Short circuit to earth of the additive pump power stage.
PO245 Turbo pressure electrovalve control.

Hi Chaps, I am very slowly working on a V6 brake upgrade on the TaffyTiva 2ltr.............the original brakes were buggered and the flexi's splitting and I had a set of V6 calipers, so why not :)

Has any one got any photos of the fitting where the flexi-hose attach to the hard lines on the inner wing ?

Do they screw into a fitting (on the inner...

Hi,

This isn’t for a French car, it’s regarding a K12 Micra 2008 but you chaps seem much more clever and helpful than any people on other forums, and this is, I imagine, relevant to any petrol engine.

It’s a little 1.4 litre petrol engine. It’s burning oil, worse on acceleration from what I could tell driving behind it. Empties its sump in only...

Do they play any important role in the HDi design beyond essential for (icy weather) cold starts?

Mine has it's glow plug relays out, possibly just one, garage man said not to worry, however I've noted for a while that my engine sounds unhappy on cold starts..

The foam in my passenger front seat has collapsed. Management is complaining of the frame tube pressing into her leg, fair!
So, I have another front seat to replace it, same fabic, everything good. BUT, it does not have the side airbag.

Is it poss to swap the seat backs? Can the upper and lower halves be split? I have 3 weeks untill we are going...

HI there, Im looking for some advice on what the hoses here are supposed to connect to?

The engine is a XU10J2:

- The Red one is currently source of a big vacuum leak and the engine stalls when I place my finger over

- The green one is also a vacuum leak source but less so, when i place my finger over it nothing much happens but I can...

Hi!

1 month ago i have regassed 6 spheres on my Citroen C5 X7 Tourer, 2.0 HDI 2012.

On the very first ride i have noticed that the suspension became quite stiff, it wasn't as soft as before.

Thinking that one sphere didn't hold the pressure, today i have rechecked the front ones and the pressure is fine.

The suspension level is correct, made...

Apologies firstly if I shouldn't be asking this. I only joined the other day:
I've put a deposit on a 2012 2.0HDi C5 Tourer in silver and before I transfer the balance I'd like to check the VIN.
The usual free/dodgy sites either don't come back with anything, or one came back with a white 1.6 saloon!

Is it possible to get a build sheet of this...

(/Ironic mode on)As i had lots of time available and nothing to worry about (/ironic mode off) , i did it again... Got myself an Activa S2 from 2000 :-D
Pics to come soon , but i can advance it is an 2.0 Hdi and black - No polish & detailling for now , as i have quite a bit to do on suspension department.
Spheres blown , missing some gaiters -...

Hi i have a question, will s1279 lexia module connect with my c5 x7 or do i need some other module for thus car?

Hi guys! Hope you all alright! English is not my first language, apologise for any mistakes.

My Citroen is really struggling on cold engine.
Hesitates around 2000rpms when engine is cold.
No faults, no warning light on dash.

Things i have done so far:
-head gasket
-exhaust valve on 2nd cylinder (there was big chip, zero compression)
-clean...

Good morning all

After a bit of advice please.

After the beautiful shame of being recovered from a busy retail park on Saturday because the car was stuck in reverse. I suspected the gear change cables and got home to have a look.

One of the cables had popped of at the gearbox end and its not going back on easily. Is this normal? Should it be...

Hi Everyone

I am new here I am a qualified mechanic but choose not to be in the industry anymore .

I've worked on a few cars over the years but this one is a good challenge. But this car is testing my patience lol . I believe the turbo has completely gone . Has anyone taking a turbo off a citroen c8 exclusive and how difficult off a job is it...

Further to our ABS/ESP warnings issue, brake light switch replaced but to no avail. Next will be the engine speed sensor but in the meantime thought to undertake a BSI reset (guided by the helpful post on the FCF).
Whilst battery disconnected thought to give the ABS module electrical connection a clean and check for damp. The module is visible...

Hello everyone
I would like you share with you my adventure with the fault code P1352 , a VERY tricky faul and very common on Peugeot-Citroens.
The diagnostic tool shows fault on glowplugs or glowplugs relay. After searching the whole internet, i found nothing!
I found people who had the same fault code as me, they changed glowplugs, they changed...

Hi Marc

I'm new to the forum. Struggling with the additive pump also. Can you by any chance get the diagram like the one you provided for C4 II, just for 2016+ Jumpy (VIN
VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]) this time. Got a new tank (with pump OE), programmed, level set, tried through engine ECU, BSI, still getting errors. Just to rule out the wiring.

Best...

Hi!

I have a Citroën ds3 from 2013 with the 1.6 THP engine and I have an issue with oil leakage. I have localized it from a hole on the luft side of the valve cover (see picture). What does this hole do and does anyone know why it’s leaking oil from it?

Citroen c3 picasso.

Why did i do it. Well needed abit more room but not massive ammounts so this was my choice
2012 1.6hdi. New clutch last Jan 2022. Plenty of service history and under 90,000 miles .

Bad points.
Back fog light cracked car park marks
Warning on dash after 90 mile drive
Engine oil pressure high stop engine
This then came on...

Last time I posted about a noise coming from the drivers side of the engine. You said possible upper engine mount . You where correct. So replaced same. The noise went away and has stayed away. However at times when I start the car up there seems to be s slght bang when starting then it drives ok. It seems now to be coming from the passenger side...

Hello,

probably a silly question but does anyone know (or have a photo) of where the excel stands should do for both the front and the rear on a C3 Picasso (2015)

Here is a photo of the front In the second photo here there seems to be an mark left where perhaps the garage ramp arms have been (or a trolly jack?) would this be a correct assumption...

Hi guys

Many thanks

Citroen C4 2009

Im hoping someone on here can give me a clue. My 2016 Grand Picasso Tailgate isnt working.,it wasnt when I bought it. I have hooked it up to Diagbox and its says U1F46 87 Absence of communication with motorised boot unit.
When I first got it pressing the button on the tailgate would result in one beep , but nothing happened. Pressing the remote,...

Ok, not new but regassed. I sent my front corner spheres to Pleiades for recharge and they did a champion job and returned very quickly. Repainted too.

I am delighted with the ride quality now - a new front center sphere and now regassed corner spheres, new rear center pair. If only I could actually remove the rear corner spheres I'd have sent...

Greetings to everyone, best regards, friends, I need rear suspension cylinder seals for my 2007 model Citreön C5II 1.6HDI car, the seals shown with arrows in the picture, I asked for parts from many spare parts sellers, some sellers said 37mm diameter gasket, some sellers said it was 40mm diameter gasket, how many mm gaskets? Which gasket should I...

Ive had an alarm fault on my 2003 saxo vtr for a while now and have been doing lots of electrical testing to fix it. Battery is fine, alarm itself is fine I think the antenna coil and transponder chip is fine but will have to double check. Was going to bypass the immobiliser to rule it out bit cant seem to find it. Any help would be much...

Greetings to all friends, I bought my car second hand, this plastic part in the picture has been in the trunk since I bought the car, where in the car could this part have come from, I would be grateful if anyone could share the location in the manual, thank you, part number: 9632480380

In the pictures the tow hook is seen off-centered .
Is it possible to adjust the center of the picture? if yes - how?

The camera is retrofitted.

Hi ive got a 2017 citroen relay and the vin in the ecu doesn't match the bsi what would be the best option to vin match please ive tried Snapon, Launch, xtool to no avail I'm wondering if lexia3/diagbox would do it.

Cheers

I recently decided on trying to keep a 2010 C5 VTR Plus Nav 1.6 Hdi Estate (steel spring suspension) alive for a few more years. It has been a good reliable vehicle for last 10yrs ownership but needed new clutch and timing belt replacement, and steering had gone ‘Lumpy’ – 110,000miles on clock.

Clutch and timing belt replaced ok by competent...

Whilst checking Fred over I found LHM leaks again. 1 at the rear, possibly the height corrector (changed it for a secondhand one last year), and 1 from from the pipe that goes from LHM tank to pump (couple of years old and made of horrible metal weaved-covered pipe). Shouldn't be too much trouble, except I lent on the coolant 3 way pipe/ pressure...
