Hi, hello everyone.
I am hoping for your help in finding out one foult with the 2014 Citroen C4 Picasso blueHdi 2.0 110 kW (diesel), VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
This foult appeared about a year ago. It would seem that the reason for this failure is clear. And I thought so at first. But let's not rush to judge.
Every time, summer or winter, when I...

Hello! I have a broken oil pressure control valve and I ordered a new one, but I have a broken chip and can't connect it, so I ordered another chip, but I ran into a problem: the orange wire gives 12 volts and the yellow wire gives 3 volts. I tried to find a wiring diagram, but there is no information, and I don't want to burn the new valve, maybe...

Hello! I have a pretty nice almost rustfree Citroen jumpy from 1998 it has the 1.9 td with a Bosch mechanic fuel pump.
The bad thing is that is leaking, so i have to order and replace sealings.
To order the right sealings i have to know which pump it is.

Anyway the number plate on the front of the pump are impossible to read...

I have a non-hydractive Xantia and tried to change the rear anti-sink sphere. I managed get the sphere moving. However I noticed as I then turned it by hand the pipe at the back was also twisting. There’s something between the sphere and pipe isnt there? They are all moving together.

I don’t think I have done any damage or bent the pipe. When I...

I've searched the forum and not found the answer i'm looking for. Hence, a new question.

I suspect the left rear wheel on my Activa is leaning slightly /. My steering pulls to the right so this could be the cause.

This must be a symptom of bearing wear in the rear arm. But, where is the rear arm bearing that people refer to. Is it actually the...

Hi!

My 2012 C5 X7 with hydraulic suspension has a front clunking noise on bad road surfaces/ repeated road imperfections. I feel the clunk coming especially from left driver side at the feet/ pedals level.

I have replaced all the bushings/ joints/ arms/ links as you can see in the photo, and i can still feel it, at a lower level than before but...

Hi Lads I ran a diagnostic on the car because she smells fuelly, yes it's the C5 that has all the problems but I bought it thinking it had an injector problem. Can anyone tell me what the us stands for. To me none of the injectors look right numbers wise but I am hopeful if being corrected. No fault codes apart from the glow plug fault but we know...

Hello all,

has anyone here ever replaced the valve body of a Citroen C5 X7?

I've been working on a malfunctioning valve body successlessly for quite some time and would like to replace it by a refurbished one.

That seems to be anything but easy.

I learned there are at least 4 different models and that they are not interchangeable.

I read...

Hi everyone.
I have a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso (mk2) 66 plate. I was driving along recently when I encountered a load of errors on the dash just moments before the car lost power and switched itself off.

I plugged a diagnostic tool into the car to clear the fault codes. Once the codes were cleared the car drove fine and without issues. This has...

Hi friends,

I noticed two engine anomalies - shown in video here
- clicking at the right side of the engine (always) - I have not heard this in any other C4 diesel engine. Can someone...

Hi all!

Vehicle: Citroen C5 X7 2.0 HDI FAP 136 SW (year 2008), mileage ~420 000km.

I decided to make a new thread on this as it is really not a thing I have been able to resolve. There are two issues which I belive are somehow related to each other. This is my second car and I use it only few weeks a year when towing caravan or snowmobiles on a...

Hi there,
I have a 2008 Citroen C3 (HDi 1.4). Lately I've been having a problem with the AC. When the engine is cold I can start the AC and the compressor kicks in cycling (turning on/off) one or two times at most. The fan works as I get cold air in the cockpit. After that, the compressor won't start again. If I leave the AC on the fan will...

Hi guys, I've a weird one for the forum. I've just replaced the radiator as the old one was leaking. To be safe i disconnected the battery and went ahead. All went well until i reconnected the battery. The indicator lights are flashing rapidly and go back to normal after about 2 minutes. I've tried syncing the remote also I've checked the battery...

Hello everyone,

I have the following problem: When I turn on the air conditioning and want it warm, little lukewarm air comes out of the passenger side. The air pressure is also low compared to the driver's side. Everything works perfectly fine on the driver's side. If I don't turn on the air conditioning and simply switch to warm air, cold air...

Hello, I have a 2016 C3 Picasso Edition, 1560cc diesel, which currently has 31,495 miles on the clock. An engine warning light has just started to appear in the info window, this happens after the car has warmed up a bit and occurs after a sharp left or right turn - the warning message disappears on straightening up but I'm guessing that whatever...

Hi.
I have a Citroen C5 II 2.0 HDI sedan from 2008 that Ive done some work on.

The radiator, thermostat, timing belt, water pump and all sensors for timing was exchanged during the winter.

So, the strange begins. I´m driving the car...
