Complete backup of citroen.service.com I think.
That can't be right ... the entire official Citroen Service Backup as of 2013 was 14 GB in electronics diagrams, and slightly over 9 GB for the service documentation ... for all the models starting from AX/ZX and similar generation cars up till DS5

I do not want to get into an argumenting about the manual. I'm just saying that "I am very satisfied" with this.
And today I saw that and for other Citroens there is also service documentation.
However, I am interested only in my c5, and everything I've tried to find in the documentation I have found.
Perhaps there is documentation that is more detailed, but for me this is enough, especially for € 14.

Extracted from 18,5GB.zip, I get about 26GB materials.

That's a different story then, because you clearly wrote that you have 18,5 GB materials for the C5, not Citroen in general

We don’t provide these. You can purchase subscriptions from Citroen or look for a seller.

Oh ok then. Sorry and thank you for the quick reply. I will look to buy one.
I tried from Citroen, but if I'm not a garage professional I can't buy it right?
Thanks!
Btw, can anyone tell me the part number for the chrome trim bellow the windows on the C5 x7 tourer? I thinks it's one for each door and one smaller for the back window and says tourer.
Cheers!

Pop up your VIN here and I can provide the part for you.

You can't 'buy' the manuals from Citroen - you can only buy 'time' to access the documents online. If you need help with any specific jobs, ask here and we may be able to post up the procedure for you.

Post up your VIN, depends on engine type. V6 engines have one on each wheel and 4 cylinder vehicles have one on front near side axle and one centre rear axle.

Don’t attempt to alter, undo or move these while you are under the vehicle unless it is independently supported, or the car can drop rapidly and crush you.

Ok, confirmed that you have one height corrector on the rear axle and one on the front.

Here is the location of the Front one:
Be advised that if you are removing it, mark the location of the old one to aid refitting in the exact position, or you will have to programme the heights again into the suspension computer using Diagbox. :wink:

There is one available in French from Revue Technique Auto. You can have it as a PDF or an electronic online version. The PDFs are of course protected so not easy to copy and paste, otherwise a very useful manual with lots of pictures and a reasonable price. Just choose your Make, Model and Engine. Here's the link:

If someone can send me the PDF I can remove that protection/restrictions for you guys...?

It's not that, the PDFs apart from being secured have the buyer's email address watermarked all over all the pages hundreds of times, so they can take action against anyone making them public. Anyway, I think it is a sound investment for 25 Euros or so and people don't mind paying for good resources.

As it turns out I've been in touch with Revue Technique today regarding the possibility / suggestion of them getting an English translation for them (being an internationally recognised language) and said that I'm sure they would sell thousands more manuals if they were in English too.

They have passed my comments onto the development team, but also sent me a link to guess where?.... :roll: Haynes manuals :shock: so I've written back saying how useless Haynes are and that they have not produced a Citroen manual for over 11 years, so there is nothing for anything from 2010! Not that they were any good when they did have them.
