Hi svod, good work, congratulations.

This is a result of using crimp terminals and untinned wire.
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.

1.6 THP Engine oil leak

by Aesud » Today, 11:12

First post

Hi!

I have a Citroën ds3 from 2013 with the 1.6 THP engine and I have an issue with oil leakage. I have localized it from a hole on the luft side of the valve cover (see picture). What does this hole do and does anyone know why it’s leaking oil from it?

Last post

That hole does not have any useful purpose, but it doesn't penetrate all the way through, so cannot leak oil. It is however common for the camshaft cover to get a hairline crack in that location that causes an oil leak that appears to come from the hole.

The only cure I found was to replace the whole plastic cover.

It has nothing to do with the VIN. The BSI, Engine ECU and Transponder fobs are a paired set. These are paired at the factory. If either the BSI or the Engine ECU have been replaced or swapped, they wont work unless configured and paired with the existing units and this can only be done once, unless the replacement part is sent off to be wiped. It...

2010 C5 X7 Hydraulic Steering Pump Issue?

by harry-the-hearse » Yesterday, 18:33

I recently decided on trying to keep a 2010 C5 VTR Plus Nav 1.6 Hdi Estate (steel spring suspension) alive for a few more years. It has been a good reliable vehicle for last 10yrs ownership but needed new clutch and timing belt replacement, and steering had gone ‘Lumpy’ – 110,000miles on clock.

Clutch and timing belt replaced ok by competent...

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 :)

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

Whilst checking Fred over I found LHM leaks again. 1 at the rear, possibly the height corrector (changed it for a secondhand one last year), and 1 from from the pipe that goes from LHM tank to pump (couple of years old and made of horrible metal weaved-covered pipe). Shouldn't be too much trouble, except I lent on the coolant 3 way pipe/ pressure...

C5 X7 Tourer ESP/ABS warnings

We've read a great deal about ESP/ABS warnings reference our 2013 C5 X7 1.6 Hdi115 manual Tourer but are somewhat stumped.
ESP/ABS warning comes up but keeps going on and off on a journey, sometimes doesn't show at all, or jumps on for a few seconds only. Naturally, when the warning comes on any speed related items stop working ...such as Speedo,...

Buying a 2008 C5 2.7 hdi 204cv - what to look for?

by steveclv » 25 Apr 2024, 14:16

First post

I am fortunate to be living in France so have plenty of C5s to look at but a 2008 C5 with a 2.7 hdi 204cv engine and auto box has caught my eye.
Are there any special things that I need to check when viewing the car please - stuff relating to the engine mainly
Thanks!

Last post

Hi Steve,
Your title does say 'What to look for?' I'd suggest .. a different car!! In my view having owned 4 C5's you would be much better off seeking out an older MK1 or Mk2 car with sensible mileage and all the kit you may need. For me the steering rack issues alone were enough to stay away from the Mk3 but I also found their seats a trifle...

I haven't found anything similar to my problem, that's why i started this topic.
So, the car is a 2012 c4 grand picasso 1.6 e-hdi, which has a start stop system.
The old battery is a Varta AGM 70Ah 760CCA battery, which is like the original one accorsing to my findings.
The new battery what I installed aprox. 2 weeks ago is an Exide...

Last post

Your car has a Lin Bus alternator which has a variable output voltage controlled by the engine ECU.

The amount of charge going into the battery is reduced to save fuel and under normal conditions, the battery is not charged to 100%. Perhaps this is to allow some extra efficiency by putting more charge into the battery while coasting downhill?

5270VP hydraulic pipe for Citroen C5 & C6

First post

Cars are being scrapped because people can't get hold of the 5270VP hydraulic pipe which takes LDS from the long front to back pipe to the centre spheres.

I may have a source of these and of the pipes out to the struts and repair sections for the long front to back pipe.

Is anyone interested? I'm on the verge of buying what I need (from...

You mention the possibility of acquiring pipes other than the 5270VP. I would be interested.
The rear hydraulic supply pipework on my 2001 Mk1 C5 with Hyroactive3+ (described as manually adjusted active suspension ) are:
5270RL - long pipe from front reservoir to rear middle sphere.
5270QS - pipe from middle sphere to LEFT rear ram.

Last post

You may have cleaned the DPF, but unless you have a diagnostic tool like Lexia / Diagbox and told the engine ECU you have replaced the DPF, then this won't make a bit of difference, as it has no way to know you have done this.

@baskervil: This thread is over 6 years old! I suggest you start a new thread of your own and provide some proper information on your vehicle, like the VIN, any codes you have gotten from a diagnostic check and of course, what is the exact problem.

FUBARED BSI?

Hi, I'm sure this is a common ask, but would take me ages to sift through all the BSI related search results.

Basically my 2009 C5 HDI140 VTR+ won't start, or, more often than not, doesn't start. Sometimes it starts but will throw out the power steering when I go over a bump. Obviously I'd deduced it was likely an electrical fault, maybe...

Last post

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. So unless you can find a specialist that knows what they're doing, then you could end up paying far more than that by the time you've spent a lot on unnecessary parts and gone from garage to garage....

2009 C5 Tourer - rear suspension leak

by steveclv » 27 Apr 2024, 08:46

First post

I'm looking for a C5 Tourer and came across one at a very good price the seller informs me that there is a leak on one of the vehicle's rear left hydraulic suspension in the low position - the price is very tempting but what could be the problem? Is it perhaps expensive to repair?

Thanks for any pointers

Last post

Thanks - I'll never use a main dealer again and as I live in France, access to decent small garages isn't a problem - maybe I'lll have a chat with one of them on Monday and see if they would be interested in the work and then work on really knocking the price down. I was just wondering if anyone would be saying 'oh no, run away' LOL

A strange query, thoughts welcome.

I had put the explanatory how-we-got-here ramble then the question about aftermarket twin temperature sensors for the 1.6 BlueHDi.

All doors locked. Key fob operation results in 'soft clunk' from all door locks, but none open.
Can open driver's door manually with key, but all other doors remain locked (passengers have to awkwardly climb through from driver's side).
With driver's side open, key...
