Hi I have a 2007 Citroen C4 1.6 16v and it has developed a hesitation when accelerating particularly noticeable in 1st and 2nd gears when it hesitates for a fraction of a second. I have replaced the spark plugs, replaced the coil pack and MAP sensor, cleaned the MAF sensor but still the problem exists.

Can anyone give any advice on what is...

I have managed to extract the old thermostat from our 2.0 HDI spacetourer but the hose to the right hand side has gotten slightly damaged (the one with the plastic clip with two opposing legs for release).

Does anyone know what hose this is and where it runs to? Ive got a horrid feeling it's going to be blooming impossible to get it out...

Hi Folks!

Thank you for this useful forum which has helped fix some small issues. Now I am forced to ask because I can't figure out the issue.

Shortly, I have a 2008 C3 1.4 l, automatic.

I have been experiencing intermittent and random starting problems. Either the starter doesn't start or it turn for 4-5 seconds when the engine seems to start...

Hi, I have the following issue on my Citroen C4 1.6 HDi year 2008 with 6 speed piloted gearbox (CFC300P ECU). The car is 210000 km and I'm not sure if the clutch has been replaced yet.
The issue is that the car takes a lot of time to release the clutch when changing gears. So if I'm driving in automatic you can notice the engine rev up as soon as...

Hi,

While driving my C4 make year 2009 I got a gearbox ( AL4 ) fault P1167 Automatic gearbox Pressure Regulation Fault . Using Lexia I read the oil pressure at idle. The measured pressure was 4.9 bar instead of the expected 8.9 bar. At the very moment the fault was triggered the symptom of the fault was a slight vibration of shifting from 1st...

Apologies if there is a separate section for listing this:

I've just had my DPF professionally cleaned (off car) by a small friendly company in Aberdeenshire.
All in cost was less than £150

This was the second genuine DPF my car has had fitted (stamped date code was 2012).
TBH it wasn't actually all that dirty, but as I had to remove and...

Posting this in case it saves someone else from wasting a day trying to repair their folding mirror. I will attach as much information as I can to help people.

I looked everywhere over the last week or so for hints on how to repair a folding mirror. I found some information, but nothing very in-depth or specific to the C4 Picasso Mk2.

I have 2024 C5 Aircross with motorised tailgate
Tailgate keeps coming down by accident and I attribute this to poorly design kick sensor

hello.

so my C2 has this funny problem where the doors won't unlock by remote or button, the tailgate will, and all three will lock just fine, I can however unlock the car by key and open the drinker's side door from the inside.
I have searched for a couple days now (I hate the Ersatz the modern internet has become) and best I figure is either a...

My 2009 C5 X7 has suffered a failed AC pipe. It's a two-part pipe from the compressor low pressure side, part numbers 6477E9 from the compressor and 647774 from the bulkhead (with the charge port). These both appear to push together and stay attached. Except mine blew apart one day, despite the AC not having been run for some weeks. The system had...

Hi.
Anybody knows what is the correct material in wet timing belts in PSA 1.0 & 1.2 cars (Citroen C3 1.2 81 kwh 2018)?

I need to change it (as part of my engine rebuild) and I am not sure if the parts dealers still sell old belts (manufractured before ~ 6/2022).

Like you know PSA develop new timing belt material and change oil 2022(I would...

Hello,

I have an issue with my car that is really bothering me.
The sunvisor flaps. The rotating thing that covers from sunlight just above the driver's head, they are heavily vibrating and making noises. Yet I don't see or notice any loose or damaged part.
I am wondering if there's a way to fix or dampen the vibration.

Hello! Unfortunately my C4 Picasso passenger mirror has malfunctioned and stopped folding both with the key and the mirror buttons.

Roughly at the same time, it started showing random temperatures and now suddenly doesn't show the temperature at all, the screen reads - - C°.

I'm more worried about the temperature sensor, because at the moment...

Hi, I'm in NZ so don't need a DPF on my car. I am trying to disable the DPF and eolys fluid using the Galletto 1260 EOBDII cable.

Problem is that when I plug the cable in and try to read the ECU Data with the included software it doesn't complete the operation. I have tried all the different drivers and the only 2 that get to 50% before giving...

Hello there! Hopefully someone can help.

I have a 2015 Grand Picasso C4 1.6 Diesel and there is a new whine that I can hear especially loudly if my head is just above the central rear seat. The whine follows the revs a bit and is most prevalent when the engine is idle.

I think it might be the in tank fuel lift pump (???) as if as a test I pull...

VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

1999 HDi (110) Running OK until recently, had 3.5mm high pressure lines burst and patched, then auxiliary belt shreded after only 3 years and 14K and now another Core Plug has corroded (looks like external corrosion) and leaked coolant so I believe this might have led to the engine cutting out a couple of times after...

Hi folks,

I am having troubles determining engine, or to be more precise the RPO of the said engine on my Citroen C4 (2022). The dealership/authorized service pulled out information where I can see that my car has a DV5RC/EU63 engine with a serial number of 10 Q3DP 1343227, but from what I can find online, the recommended oil for that engine has...

According to the manual:

Service notifications are static and just have the spanner and a solid mileage count until next service

Hi everyone! 2007 C4 Picasso, 1.6 HDI MCP6.
When you lock the car, it flashes once after about a minute, and then turns on the headlights about another minute later. Now, if the door is open, it turns on the headlights anyway. It doesn’t indicate that the driver’s side door is open. I’ve replaced the following, but the problem persists: BSM, BSI,...

For various reasons I'm swapping my fuel tank in my 1.9TD Dispatch

The main reason is it can never get the last ~20 litres from the tank - I'd previously replaced the sender with no change, so it must be the tank itself. In fact when I drained the removed tank completely last night and put the sender in, it still read as 1/4 full. Witht he sender...

My DS5 was written off the other week today I got a new to me C5 aircross on a 20 plate. Everything was fine until I got home. I went to put the child seat in and noticed the eear window on the passenger side half way open. I tried to close it and it goes up and then back down. I checked and there is nothing in rails like debris etc, sprayed wd40...

Feel so dumb =P~ I put one of my windows near wide open, now it won't go up.

Only the down button now results in a click sound, but no motor life. Up buttons do nothing at all.

Is there any chance that it's just a fuse has gone?
I'm also really hoping that there's a failsafe that allows the window, in this state, to be manually released and...

Hi,
