DC circuits attract atmospheric ions that provoke corrosion in the positive side of the circuit. This eventually causes the copper in stranded wire to develop surface corrosion, insulating each strand from its neighbours.

That's correct, main dealer diagnostics are about £100-120 an hour. You're supposed to be paying for the training and expertise of the technicians.

I recently started having issues with my 2007 Citroen C4 1.4 16v, and my initial thought is it has something to do with the fuel delivery system, more precisely, a potentially clogged fuel filter.

Main symptoms are:

Losing power when applying throttle (especially on the initial start in first gear, cold engine)
Shaking when under load,...

Before you do any changing of parts, it really needs to be properly diagnosed. Those symptoms can be down to anything air or fuel related, so better to get a diagnostic with Diagbox done first and then put any fault codes up here with your VIN.

Hi Chaps, I am very slowly working on a V6 brake upgrade on the TaffyTiva 2ltr.............the original brakes were buggered and the flexi's splitting and I had a set of V6 calipers, so why not :)

Has any one got any photos of the fitting where the flexi-hose attach to the hard lines on the inner wing ?

Do they screw into a fitting (on the inner...

EML on

by Miapops50 » 21 Apr 2024, 14:10

First post

Hi I’m not sure if I’m on the right part to ask a question about my Citroen C3. I’m not very good with things online. I have a 2014 Citroen C3. The EML came on 5 weeks ago. The RAC said I needed a new lambda sensor so took to garage and had this done. 2 days later light came on again and RAC said my spark plugs were broke so paid for 3 new ones....

Last post

This is a puzzle...it could just be down to a loose electrical connection. If all those parts have been replaced and still not sorted the problem then that's what I'd go with. I would of initially checked the connectors to everything. And do a complete reset of the system. Citroens are known to have funky electrics

New suspension spheres!

by aerodynamica » 12 Aug 2022, 17:05

First post

Ok, not new but regassed. I sent my front corner spheres to Pleiades for recharge and they did a champion job and returned very quickly. Repainted too.

I am delighted with the ride quality now - a new front center sphere and now regassed corner spheres, new rear center pair. If only I could actually remove the rear corner spheres I'd have sent...

Last post

@Maciejz:.
For the center sphere on the left side, you have to remove the left drive shaft and the 6mm bolt beneath the subframe with hold the airco tube.
Then with a long chisel you can hammer it loose.
It's not really difficult.

Hi FCF Team,

I have looked to see if this question is covered elsewhere, but don't think so? Sorry if being dorf!

On a 2009 Xsara Picasso petrol 1.6 DOHC.

But car drives normally and the light stays on all the time.

Hi Wheeler,
Sorry for the slow reply to your good suggestions.
Yes, the ABS light comes on along with the message.
I had the car tested with a 'proper' OBD reader, still no fault codes.

I replaced the two front sensors (both were damaged) and cleaned the road dirt off the slotted rings. Close check showed up no cracks or missing segments. A...

Please can anyone advise me of the best way to treat this. Is it going to need a respray ?

Many thanks in advance

That has been my theory Marc. Like you say its coming from the inside out so does appear to have been a previous dodgy paint job.

There seem to be lots of aftermarket ones available - the alternative part number may be a bit cheaper, and slightly easier to fit. As I said in that other thread, I am not at all sure how you would change this - got to be driveshaft out at least. I do wonder if you need to remove the water pump to free the bottom end.

But, is the V3 version...

C5 III X7, fail of manual brake-function

Hello,

I try to turn to this forum, because my C5 III X7 (2014 HDI Excl.) has a very special problem, maybe someone can help;
in the German forum there’s nearly nobody, who has similar trouble.
Code ‘C1555’ (only), manual brake-switching doesn’t work, automatic on/off is working as it should, P-Symbol displayed permanently, nothing else....

Last post

It was a C5 (2015) fault with manual braking 7092: electric handbrake / steering / 7095: electric handbrake assembly / wire 10 across the protective tube. About 10 cm from the connector to the electrical assembly. Wire 4430.

Has you taken the vehicle to anyone else / another garage just before this happened? If somebody has mucked about with the engine ECU they may well have mis-configured it.

HDi noise..

by xsara92 » 20 Apr 2024, 14:09

First post

This is just an open query, and perhaps not enough to justify a thread but there may be opinions ..

Has anyone managed to reduce the noise level of an HDi, either by noise-absorbing material in the engine bay, or some kind of mod? Are some parts of the drivetrain particularly noise generating and amenable to silencing?

If just the idling noise...

Last post

I would start with the engine mounts. These can make a big difference in the noise department. I recently changed mine after two years of service and a lot of noise disappeared. I thought there was something wrong with the engine type of noise.

Citroen Xsara Picasso tow bar wiring.

by jscadden » 24 Apr 2024, 00:35

First post

Just fitted a towbar to the car to tow a small trailer.

The towbar came with a wiring kit which included relay for use when certain circuitry was installed on the car .

The relay supplied is a TEB7AS 7 Way Universal Relay including buzzer.
Is this a necessity on this vehicle or can I just install a buzzer for the indicators?

Last post

It is necessary because they specify that they take the lighting signals and covert this into a 12V feed for the trailer lighting so it doesn’t take power from the lighting circuit on the car. That is why it is there and requires a 15a fused supply.

Of course it does not support vehicle ESP systems with a special towing programme which your...
