French Car Forum

Hi Folks,

Just became a new owner of a 2011 Peugeot 207, 1.6 hdi hatchback.

Car runs well - few niggles to sort out (heater control panel bulbs blown, and a rear washer jet that isn't spraying) but with searching the forums and YouTube, I've got some idea what\how to fix them.

I've run VW\Audi's most of my life and maintained them myself -...

Hi all,

Before I start any more posts I thought I'd say hi here first.

I have had lots of Jaguars, Mercedes and a couple of BMWs, and only recently been introduced to Citroen. My wife had a Peugeot 508 back in 2020 and we really liked it, and when fuel went sky high I ended up getting a little Citroen C3 1.6HDi-e as a daily driver. The little...

Hi Everyone.

2014 C4 Grand picasso owner since 2016 after having a S-Max - I'ld never go back!
I'm a 50 yr old ex raver and most of my C4s sound system needs reviving! I'm just saying Hi after finding this forum while researching said audio upgrades as I'm sure it will come in handy as my car ages.

I've had more Citroens than any other make, principally because they're often different from the standard Eurobox, and offer more for standard. My current car is a 2014 C3 Picasso petrol auto.

Hello all,

I've bought my first French car – a Peugeot 406 V6 Coupe, auto 'box. It's quite rough around the edges at the moment – especially the gearbox, which I'm sure I'll moan about at length on other threads soon...

Hallo from Sweden

My name is Odin I'm a 19 year old from Norway. I've just bought a 1996 Xantia activa 2.0L 16v and I'm looking forward to trying to restore to some of it's former glory.

My only previous experience working with cars is getting the 2cv my dad bought about 10 years ago running again, which has been a blast so far! Not surprisingly the Activa seems...

Hi everyone, thanks for letting me join the Forum.
I have just brought a Citroen C5 X7 so I thought 🤔 I needed to join up for Advice and everything else to do with the C5 . Many thanks Mark 👍👍

Still a newbie but free up with Citroëns, my parents owned an AX and then a Saxo, this one is still theirs!

Me, being a bit more old-school, I own a CX and I love that pachyderm of a car, unfortunately still under maintenance for correcting the mistreatment over the years and a bad condition coolant system!

See you soon 😉

Hi All,

I have owned french cars since I passed my test, with my first 3 cars being Citroen BXs, followed by a couple of 205's, a 208, and my latest french fancy being a C2 1.6 16v Code.

I'm pretty hands on and so far there's nothing I haven't been able to tackle myself. Think the years of BX ownership taught me most things - everything is...
