French Car Forum

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, I wonder if I could seek advice on a de-pollution problem with my 2007 C5 1.6 HDi. It is in limp mode and has the following issues logged when connected to diagnostics.
Short circuit to earth of the additive pump power stage.
PO245 Turbo pressure electrovalve control.

On a separate diagnostic read- Remote Fault
Permanent Fault

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!

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...

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...

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...

Hi Folks

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
Is there anyone with a Lexia in the Norfolk / Suffolk etc area that can help ..need to code AUX Radio input

Many thanks

Diagram also in this thread? Is it possible, when you have access next time, to get information about the ECU connections for this one VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] Thank you

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,...

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.

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...

Im new to this forum so if i made the topic on wrong place im sorry,

I have bought a new citroen c4 1.6 diesel automatic 2012, i have a problem with the car that when eco mode is on and when i stop i hear a squeky noise from upfront of the car nearby from the engine and car turns off automaticaly and tells me to put the gear on N to turn on the...

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...

We've read a great deal about ESP/ABS warnings reference our 2013 C5 X7 1.6 Hdi115 manual Tourer but are somewhat stumped.
ESP/ABS warning comes up but keeps going on and off on a journey, sometimes doesn't show at all, or jumps on for a few seconds only. Naturally, when the warning comes on any speed related items stop working ...such as Speedo,...

I am fortunate to be living in France so have plenty of C5s to look at but a 2008 C5 with a 2.7 hdi 204cv engine and auto box has caught my eye.
Are there any special things that I need to check when viewing the car please - stuff relating to the engine mainly
Thanks!

Hello, we’ve been having some intermittent issues with our van lately and I just wanted to post here first to see if anyone had any ideas.

It’s a self-converted camper, we’ve been travelling around in it for the past year without issues until the past couple of months where we’ve been in much colder and wetter conditions. Since then, we’ve had...

Hi everybody!

I haven't found anything similar to my problem, that's why i started this topic.
So, the car is a 2012 c4 grand picasso 1.6 e-hdi, which has a start stop system.
The old battery is a Varta AGM 70Ah 760CCA battery, which is like the original one accorsing to my findings.
The new battery what I installed aprox. 2 weeks ago is an Exide...

Hi all really struggling with this one my car turns over but will not start. If I spray easy start in after a while she will run but you have to hold high revs. I had it on Lexia and only fault code was fuel rail pressure sensor signal fault, I tested the wiring to it and plugged in sensor to see it at 0.5v with key on, changed the sensor itself...

Hi, i have a 2011 C4 1.6hdi mk2, i replaced the EGR with a 2nd hand one, does it need resetting to zero or recalibrating to the car?

Would a brand new one need calibrating to the car?

Thanks

Cars are being scrapped because people can't get hold of the 5270VP hydraulic pipe which takes LDS from the long front to back pipe to the centre spheres.

I may have a source of these and of the pipes out to the struts and repair sections for the long front to back pipe.

Is anyone interested? I'm on the verge of buying what I need (from...

Hi, i have a c4 mk2 1.6hdi and have issues with rough idling and struggling to rev over 3k. I have had error codes P1445 and p3007. I have changed the egr valve and have taken off the bottom part of the dpf and gave it a soak with off car dpf cleaner and power washed out, but still these errors persist and is still sluggish, what else could i look...

Hello everybody,

I have Berlingo I 1,9D M WJY year 2002 and unfortunatelly I have a big issue with it.

SOMETIMES, when I want to start the engine, the warning lamp of engine heating does not light up, the clocks with temperature and tachometer do not work, the engine is cold and it is not possible to start the engine. This issue does occur...

Hi, I'm sure this is a common ask, but would take me ages to sift through all the BSI related search results.

Basically my 2009 C5 HDI140 VTR+ won't start, or, more often than not, doesn't start. Sometimes it starts but will throw out the power steering when I go over a bump. Obviously I'd deduced it was likely an electrical fault, maybe...

I'm looking for a C5 Tourer and came across one at a very good price the seller informs me that there is a leak on one of the vehicle's rear left hydraulic suspension in the low position - the price is very tempting but what could be the problem? Is it perhaps expensive to repair?

Thanks for any pointers

Does anyone know which pin/plug on the BSI is meant for powering the rear camera?
Could use a piggyback solution on F24 but would prefere the right socket connection.

A strange query, thoughts welcome.

I had put the explanatory how-we-got-here ramble then the question about aftermarket twin temperature sensors for the 1.6 BlueHDi. The ramble is really to share knowledge about leaking exhausts and removing the sensors so I have moved the punchline question to the top. I don't think this has been discussed,...

As so many others, I am having problems with central locking. Symptoms are:

All doors locked. Key fob operation results in 'soft clunk' from all door locks, but none open.
Can open driver's door manually with key, but all other doors remain locked (passengers have to awkwardly climb through from driver's side).
With driver's side open, key...

Hello everyone, im about to change the gearbox oil on my 2014 C4 1.6 e-hdi 115 (9HD) semi-automatic (BVMP? or EGS6? still dont know the difference) 8-[ 277736900_515498550074411_8759722569844857949_n.jpg

2) Some owners suggest 75w !

The second is fully synthetic,...

I recently started having issues with my 2007 Citroen C4 1.4 16v, and my initial thought is it has something to do with the fuel delivery system, more precisely, a potentially clogged fuel filter.

Main symptoms are:

Losing power when applying throttle (especially on the initial start in first gear, cold engine)
Shaking when under load,...

Hi I’m not sure if I’m on the right part to ask a question about my Citroen C3. I’m not very good with things online. I have a 2014 Citroen C3. The EML came on 5 weeks ago. The RAC said I needed a new lambda sensor so took to garage and had this done. 2 days later light came on again and RAC said my spark plugs were broke so paid for 3 new ones....

I have a problem with a leak of gearbox oil from the driveshaft seal. I need to buy new seals, my confused by which ones I need. Can anyone help provide me with the part numbers and the replacemnt oil required. It's a citroen c4 GP 1.6 diesel semi automatic.

Hi FCF Team,

I have looked to see if this question is covered elsewhere, but don't think so? Sorry if being dorf!

On a 2009 Xsara Picasso petrol 1.6 DOHC.

Turn on ignition and even before engine start the car beeps once and the 'ABS fault non-function' message comes up.
But car drives normally and the light stays on all the time.
