Hi All,

The stalk is part of the Comms unit. There are a number of variations; it's important to get one that matches your car's control configuration (eg: foglights, rear wipe/wash etc).

To replace is not simple; the battery must be disconnected a good fifteen minutes before any work is done, then you remove the driver's airbag, then the steering wheel,...

Will the recipient's aerial be able to read the ID48 chip and pass the data to the donor Texton box and ECU?

Thank you. I'd noted some circuitry to the side of the aerial unit and wasn't sure how it might interplay with actually reading the chip.

A/C System discharged is my (un)educated guess.

Facelifted C5s inherited the Peugeot 407 heater box and so it won't be the heater motor cog but, perhaps, a broken plastic flap within the box itself. Reinforced flaps are available from Peugeot/Citroen, costing £70.00 for a kit.
