French Car Forum

Hi All,

Just joined this forum, as I am in need of some assistance. The sunroof motor in our 1996 MI16 shorted out at the weekend and caused an interior fire! I took the car out for a short drive and thought the engine was running a little hot due a slight burning smell. When I got back I went inside the get a cup of tea and then noticed the car...

Hi peeps.

Newbie here. I just got a 2009 C5 Touring which is spec’s to high levels. It’s so comfy. I call her Francoise or just Frank. She replaces by Corsa B from 2000. He only has 69(nice)000 miles on his clock and still potters around cheerfully. His name is Bert and he’s my buddy.

Erm, that’s it I think.

Hope all are doing well these holidays.

I have a few issues with a Peugeot 2010 308 Turbo 6speed Auto.
Searching internet I came across the French Car Forum. I found a comment made by a member of the Forum Admin Team Xantia on a post linked below & so I joined to ask if the person would point me in the direction of the alternator control module...

Hi,

After having owned a good range of German, Italian, and British cars I have now taken the next step and entered into French territory. Actually it's more like 25% French.
The car in question is a late Suzuki SJ419TD. Although originally designed and built in Japan I can say that in my 2001 car not much of that is left apart from the body,...

Back around 2007 when my daughter was 2 or 3 years old we brought a brand new C4GP but then part exchanged it for a VW Eos in 2010.

Then last week my daughter brought her first car, a 2008 C4GP with Yellowstone leather and Krakatoa alloys.

She is very happy with her purchase and...

Hello to all the members of the French Car Forum.

I´m living in Portugal 7 years ago. I needed a car so I bought a MB E320 1998 Petrol, lovely car but wasn´t fuel efficient. Then I bought a 2015 C3 1.2 Petrol, and was really impressed. Never had an issue with it, many trips, many red line revs way beyond the legal limit, and no complaints, so the...

Hi,

Newbie here to the world of French cars, all my previous cars that i've owned have been Fords.

Hello everyone.

New here. I have a peugeot expert 2010 that will no doubt need some work so thought it would be better to join a forum to offer and ask for help.

Look forward to hanging around

Hi, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

My engine fan stopped working. A friend took a look for me.

I am left with multiple issues. Fan still not working, heater and air con not working, main beam and front washer jet not working, lights only go off when ignition turned off. Diagnostics show no fault.

Hi all , just a quick hello to all, bann05, new member . owner of peugeot 406 1.9td estate .

After a few month of viewing this forum trying to diagnose my car troubles (to no avail) i thought i'd pop by and say hi.
I'm Gary, i've got a 2014 c4 grand picasso which has been fantastic for the last three years until recently so i'm hoping some of you clever people can help me.

I have the parking brake fault coming up and the parking brake...

Hi,

I've decided to join this forum because the Aussiefrogs forum is going to shut down soon and a lot of the members there will be coming over here, I think.

Located on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, I've owned at least one Peugeot since 1981 - all of them being 404s.

In 1989 I bought a rough 1966 404 Coupé Injection, a very rare (but...

Another new member. Bought a C5 X7, and have been reading a lot so thought I should join up. Lots of 'good oil' here.

Hello all!

We've had our facelift 2014 508 Allure for a year now, which replaced an incredibly low mileage 407 Executive. I'm the anorak in the family when it comes to cars, so I joined up, even though the 508 is not my daily.

The 508 certainly makes for a relatively inexpensive barge and it's a nice tech upgrade over the 407 with LED...

Hi all

I'm thinking of purchasing a Peugeot 3008 but I've got a few concerns. Was hoping someone might be able to put my mind at ease. I've never owned a French car before but i know they aren't exactly the most reliable (Please correct me if I'm wrong and i don't mean to offend anyone) I've read some slightly worrying issues such as having to...

Another new member here from Western Australia.
Have been lurking for a while as I have had a Peugeot 207SW 1.6 hdi for a while and it has been great, but not without the odd niggle - faulty earth to rear light cluster for example!

hi all, newbie here
mrs has a pug 308 1.6 hdi
I have just bought a 207 1.6 hdi, in need of a bit of work

lots of questions will be asked!

:)

Little did I know when I imported my C4 to Grenada that it would be the only Citroen in the country! That's kind of cool until something goes wrong (as it has) and no-one knows how to fix it! I'm headed down a road of French car self-discovery. Wish me luck!

Hello everyone,
So I've been mainly driving Saabs the 10 years, but by 9-5 2.3 Aero was just getting ridiculous on petrol and running costs, so I've gone sensible and bought a 206sw 1.6hdi, FSH with 110k hoping that it will be a lot cheaper to run. I didn't do my research when I bought it, but having done so my first job is give it regular oil...

Hi I am considering buying a C5 Estate, having loved an old BX some years ago (suspension was great). Decided to join the forum to get some advice. The car will likely be a diesel which I will also need advice on, I am reasonably knowledgeable on petrol engines but no little about diesels. My wife owned a diesel once and had the unfortunate...
