French Car Forum

Hi All, no topic to raise at the moment (maybe Monday when I'm halfway through checking/removing the steering pump), just a brief note to say hello to all and thanks for having me. Regards Mav

Hi there,

Proud owner of a C5 3.0HDI V6 here. Bought it last year and did approx. 1500 miles in France last summer.

Superb car!

greeting from the midlands

Joined a while back and been lurking. I've owned a 2014 C4 Picasso for a while. Always been quite a keen DIY mechanic but as I get older, I find it harder and harder to get the jacks and tool chest out. In my younger days I've changed Cambelts, clutches and rear axles. The most challenging was probably the front brake pads ( of all things) on a...

Hi Folks. Just bought ourselves a C5 Aircross BlueHDi today.

The drive home had both smiling all the way, loving it.

Not new to Citroens, had loads in the past from the 2CV up. Still haven't got enough dosh to get my dream DS, but you never know...

Lots of questions coming you way in next few days and weeks.

Since I drive mostly French cars (11 Citroens, 2 Peugeots and 6 Renaults), I thought I should register here and say hello to all french-car-drivers.

Hi all

New to this forum, now in my early 50s and many moons ago I started my driving passion by having a number of Citroen hatch backs. After passing my test at 19 back in 1992, my first car was shared with my twin brother, a beige 1.1 ford fiesta.....
As you can imagine it got quite heated at times sharing a car and agreeing who could use...

Hi hello,
I am new at this forum, I live in the Netherlands and we have a Peugeot 207 1.6 VTI 2007 with some issues with Engine Fuse F5.
It look like short-cut in the cranckshaft sensor wiring.
I hope that you can help me to solve this issue.

Can you help me to find diagrams etc. for the wiring of fuse f5

Thanks already
regards,
Guustaaf

Hi all.

Lifelong fan of Citroen cars here, with a liking for other French marques too.
I was 'given' a 1937 Tracion Avant (15CV?) in the 70s to 'play with' when I was about 10. It had been off the road for many years and was basically scrap, but my Dad & I actually managed to bring it back to life (briefly...) - boy did I learn a lot about cars...

Hi - Hello from Scotland!

We have a C4 1.2 Shine+ 2021 which is mainly used by my other half - it’s a great car!!

I previously had a 2007 C5 which I also loved. And also had a 2013 508 SW which I also really enjoyed.

Currently, I have a Tesla Model 3, which I love!! And a 2007 Alfa GT for fun - which it very much is, when it runs!!

I do a...

Hi

I am visiting from France in my left-hand-drive French-registered Peugeot 208 2011 (different specs to a UK 2011 apparently).

I am staying in Leatherhead and my car has broken down. Axa Assistance has towed it to an Axa depot and now I need to find a local garage that can repair it (possibly alternator, possibly electrical fault).

Merry...

Recently joined after purchasing a C5,
Currently have a BX19GTI, a 309 Goodwood and a 205 1.9Gti in restoration.

Hi everyone,

I'm hak and have stumbled across this forum thanks to Google and my issue with my Pug 407. So pleased that this forum is here and it looks like it has a wealth of information available.

I'm now off to find a rabbit hole to see if I can find how to update my firmware......

I hope I don't get lost.

Cheers :-)

Hi Gang
I bought a Grand Picasso at the weekend. It was too good to refuse although it has the EML on. It's got a good service history so I am hoping it's something easy and cheap to fix. I took out the EGR valve today and decided to buy a new one. It's a bit of a pain to get out so might as well replace it.
Bought a cheap code reader too so...

A quick hello to you all.

I've visited the forum on many occasions but didn't sign up because being an old git who learned all my vehicle reapair and maintenance skills on British Leyland heaps :rofl2: I didn't think I'd have anything to contribute, but I realise this place has loads of knowledgeable people and as I have an Expert van and a...

Hi everyone, just a quick message to say hello to everyone on the forum. I'm a long term PSA diesel owner (Since the 1990's) but car technology has moved on quicker than my collection of spanners and screwdrivers, hence joining the forum because when things go wrong it's often a bit of a head scratcher with sensors for this and that.

Despite the...

Good evening people, I am new here and looking for some help/advice.

My wife’s 2007 Peugeot 207 1.4 hdi is playing up, I believe it is the dreaded BSI issue however am struggling to locate the unit to be able to remove it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

The closest I can find is a BSU unit next to the battery (pic attaced

Hello all

I'm on my third French car now and the collection is big enough, so I figured it's probably time to register on here. I'm currently in the process of pulling apart the front of a Megane, which I'll create a post on shortly. I also have a 205 sitting in my garage which should hopefully be out next summer. I don't know how I ended up...

I just want to introduce myself, I am Florian, based in Northern Germany and my wife and I have a Citroen C4 1.6 HDI, and a DS5 BlueHDI 180.

Hello everyone,

I've been driving Citroen ever since I acquired my license, it was a...

Hello and thanks for letting me in bots - what a pain to get past the questions!

Inherited a 2005 Berlingo 2.0HDi, which is a surprisingly competent car bearing in mind I normally drive a much newer Passat.

It has however got a very annoying problem which I will post about later...

Hi,
I have a Mazda 5 sport for my large family which I have loved but it is on its last legs and I've bought a C4 Grand Spacetourer to replace it.

I rented a Peugeot 5008 in the summer which internally feels very similar and has the same in-car system.
