First post

Ok the engine fault light came on in the car saying Engine Fault repair needed. This happened about 3 weeks ago and the car is running fine.

Went to garage today and was plunged into the diagnostic machine, came back with approx 100 fault codes, garage tried to erase the faults but they could not erase them.

One thing that i did notice during...

Last post

It would probably have caused less aggravation if the warning were not present and the belt just snapped. At least the fault would be obvious.

Really not sure why Citroen would program this into the ECU under Engine Fault Repair Needed why don't they just have a warning advisory message to say Alternator Belt Needs Replacing

New DS forum - proud owner of DS7 Crossback here

by Marve » 02 Sep 2018, 10:29

First post

Hello all,

Good to finally see a DS forum. I couldn´t find it anywhere else.

I have a DS7 crossback since April 2018 and I am very happy about it. It drives great and especially the lights and the inside interior is more than excellent.

I would like to exchange experiences with other users.

Till soon.

Hello 2e1ilh,
I also have to get snow chains I guess, but haven´t searched yet. will keep you updated if I find anything.
Start Stop function: the only way I know is to put the aircon at MAX, then he cannot do the ¨stop¨ engine thing because he needs the energy. If course you freeze to death but he... ha ha.
My wishes go more to accepting...

DS4 What exhaust is this?

by Hexagon » 07 Jan 2019, 16:55

First post

So I've just bought this DS4 and it seems to have a rather odd exhaust pipe... Is this some sort of upgrade? I've looked online at others for sale and can't find any with a visible exhaust pipe.

The car is a 1.6 HDI 110.

Thanks for any help

Last post

Ok, sorry.
Was not lol-ing AT you. Rather thought I was WITH you, but hey-ho.
Pretty sure the standard exhaust should be hidden behind the bumper, with a down turn at the end to deflect gasses downwards, away from the plastic. If I'm right, the exhaust you currently have is hanging BELOW the bumper and is therefore significantly lower than it...

I have just bought the new 2018 DS7 to drive to my place in Alps and have discovered that normal snow chains cannot be used on my car. I have been told that ladder tread chains can be used but I am not sure which ones can anyone help? I need chains for France?

Belt tension great! now A/C Compressor having a heart attack

by lesliepg » 17 Dec 2018, 08:28

First post

Hi Guys,

After fixing my last issue :-D , which was my last topic raised (Start/Stop Issue Advise needed, Belt Tension?) Which involved replacing both aux belt tensioners and belt. I believe that now the belt has the correct tension the A/C compressor bearing is having a heart attack :shock: . Hard to describe, like a rhythmic metal scraping...

Last post

That's feasible, Simon. I've got a gauge here if you want to pop round sometime and we can stick it on and see what it says.

Start/Stop Issue Advise needed, Belt Tension?

by lesliepg » 12 Dec 2018, 09:54

First post

Hi Guys,

I have an issue with my 2012 1.6 e-hdi DS5. My car has Start/Stop system, when I come to a stop the engine stops and goes into ECO mode (Green ECO Light on) when I lift the brake I hear a squeal then the engine doesn't restart. I have to put the car back into netural and press the engine start button to get the engine started again. I...

Last post

Good work in tracking that down. As described above, these tensioners will have a hard life as they have to cope with both normal and cranking belt directions/tensions.

DS3 Blowing only on number 5

by Shabbaranks » 30 Nov 2018, 12:59

First post

Hi guys,

First question - and excuse my ignorance, isn't a DS classed as a Citroen? I just notice there is a Citroen section and a DS Automobiles section - is this because although its a Citroen they are quite different?

And my main question :)

Im trying to find the location of the heater resistor in a 2015 DS3. I took the glove box out and had...

Last post

Hi, I had to replace the part. Given it was only £20 (off the internet) but Citroen wanted to charge £80... I wasn't too bothered.

Apparently they are known to go (as resistors do) and I could have probably re-soldered a replacement resistor for less than £2 but as said it as a cheap fix anyway.

OBD not working

by Badboybriands5 » 04 Dec 2018, 23:16

I am looking for a fuse for the OBD socket as I have no power at the OBD. It was working fine a few months ago, but I recently had to plug in diagnostics and found I have no power. I have a DS5 2014. Can anyone help with the location of the correct fuse so I can check it, or has anyone else had the same problem.Thanks.

DS5 suspension

by qprdude » 08 Oct 2018, 22:05

First post

I've almost come to terms with DS5 ownership after 16 months. I tried a 2.2 l Jaguar XF at the weekend and was completely underwhelmed.
It felt dated and sluggish, even though it was the 190bhp version rather than the 163.?
It was fairly nice and reasonably specced, but it didn't fold its'self around me and whisper buy me now !
OK, the reason I...

Last post

OK, so I contacted a local French car specialist who I have had decent service from before. I asked about the suspension problem on the Citroen DS5. He said he hadn't yet worked on a customers DS5 for anything but was willing to find out for me.
He took all the details of the car and said he would make enquires as to whether the newer upgraded...

DS5 AdBlue light

by ZigaKus » 10 Nov 2018, 19:05

First post

Dear all,

today on my Citroen DS5 2014, 2.0 Hdi 133Kw, turn on the light for AdBlue. I buy 15l of AdBlue on gas station and fill up the tank for AdBlue, but the light don t turn off and it says that in 1.100km the engine won t start again.

Did anyone have this kind of problem on his vehicle?

Thank you for all your answers.

Last post

I didn't but others have. My Adblue warning on the 308 disappeared immediately after refilling but others have found that they need to drive the car a few times for it to register.

Last post

Number is the heating resistance - I explained in my previous post - it is basically just heating elements to provide some warmth for the cabin until the engine warms up. It has nothing to do with the blower motor itself.

Where did you get the Blower Control Module from? Some cheap ones off the bay are notoriously poor quality and dead on arrival...
