I hope someone can help.

Hi looking at a C5 2.0 Bluehdi flair plus 2019 25,000 on the clock from Evan's Halshaw
Recent MOT check was a fail for engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction and
reg plate light not working
with advisories - all brakes worn pitted or scored but not seriously weakened and adblue warning light on
All advisories still present on the...

2013 C5 X7 Intermittent ESP/ABS warnings (as per earlier post on that topic).
Brake light switch replaced (no change) but apparently the switch harness can be troublesome and could be the issue. Is it necessary to change that part of harness complete (and where does it run to from switch) or is it likely to solve the issue using the kit which...

Hi,
Bought my c5 exclusive 2lt hdi manual from a garage in Edinburgh, it was a trade in, good condition throughout low miles of 76,000 no warranty as mileage could not be verified, salesman said it had intermittent power steering fault, loss of power, bought the car anyway cause I liked it drove about 4 miles and steering went stiff, straight road...

So I'm new to these Citroen C5 models and am interested in getting a diagnostic kit up and running but there are so many options it is very confusing and I want to 'buy once' and be cost effective rather than throwing £1000 at it :)

So this is for a 2009 C5 2.0 HDi Auto and so far I have come across Lexia 3, Diagbox (version 7 to 9) and PP2000 -...

Hello,

Yesterday happened strange thing. Air flows to the cabin all the time, even when climate control is turned off.
Tried to disconnect battery, reconnect air blow fuse - nothing helps.
Diagnostics shows no trouble codes.
Citroen C5 x7 Tourer 2012 year.

Does anyone have a list of what sizes were specced on the various C5 models?

I want to know what I can fit..

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...

Any guidance please,

2008 C5 X7, 2.0 HDI Estate. Wipers have been mis behaving for a while. Firstly stuck on intermediate on whichever setting then they folded over each other and left stopped working with right jerking up about 4 then back down again. I've read that it's probably the ECU in the slave, left side. I have removed the motors and...

I've noticed since MOT'ing my XM that the front passengers side window doesn't work, nor does the electric wing mirror adjustment.

The central locking on the door does work though.

Does anybody have a wiring diagram that I could use to try and work out what is common between the window and the mirror? The VIN for my car is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]....

Hello,

I bought a 2016 Citroen C3 Picasso 1.2 Puretech 3 weeks ago and have recently had a 'top up engine oil' warning come up on the multifunction display. I checked it the day after I bought it and the oil level was about 1/4 of the way below the max mark then. It was near minimum when I checked it on Thursday night (after only driving about...

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...

Hi Everyone,

My first post, so please forgive any protocol errors.

I own and drive a Citroen EC4 2021 RHD.

While trying to hard wire a dashcam I (stupidly) shorted a wire and blew the reading light fuse. I realised that I was in trouble when I looked at the fuse box and had no fuse diagram or labelling. The manual gives the fuse number and...

Hi Wonderd
I wondered (sorry!) how long have you had the car, and has this just started?
What do you mean by 'if the engine is running in a low RPM then the sound kepps steady'? What happens at high RPM?
The only hissing I can think of is that when the pressure regulator cuts in, which should last a few seconds and end with a click. This is...

Hello,

I wondered if anyone could offer any advice or experience on towbar fitting to 2019 C5 Aircross?

I have purchased OEM wiring loom part number 1648389280 - there is no instructions in box, only link to online Citroen servers which I have no access to.

I have purchased Tow Trust towbar.

Is there anywhere I can get advice on interior trim...

So I have just purchased a used 2009 C5 Tourer Confort 2.0 HDi DPF which is in nice condition and drove very well. Service history, no leaks from rear suspension pipes or steering rack, no rust, suspension went up and down as expected etc. Good price (for France) too and only a couple of minor faults that hopefully someone can advise me on.
1. The...

I have a Citroen Spacetourer and whenever I run a global test with a Diagbox (9.150) I get the fault:
ESP90 (CAN bus ground adhesion or high speed 2):
Fault: Absence of signal
Status: Fugitive
Authomatic breaking in case of collision risk: Inhibited

I can clear the fault, but as soon as I run the test again, it pops up again. Everything else...

It's already the second time that after opening a door (In the evening , with humidity) that interior lights look to be in disco mode , as they turn on and off. (Completely and not just dimming.)

It happens with any of the 4 doors opening
Has anyone here had the same weird experience? What the heck can that be? Where do i start looking?...

2008 C5 1.6 hdi Car wont start
Anyone know how to resolve these codes P1351 has stopped displaying but P1366 P1367 P1366, P1367 repeat which makes 4 faults and they won't clear.

Hi everyone, does anyone have a wiring diagram for a C5 Mk3, specifically the wiper motors and the wiper stalk setup? Thanks

Hello everyone
I would like you share with you my adventure with the fault code P1352 , a VERY tricky faul and very common on Peugeot-Citroens.
The diagnostic tool shows fault on glowplugs or glowplugs relay. After searching the whole internet, i found nothing!
I found people who had the same fault code as me, they changed glowplugs, they changed...

Hello.
Can someone tell me what these are & if i should be worried that they're not connected to anything 🤔
2 cables found under centre console near aouto gear knob, don't know where other ends are they seem to disappear of into the harness somewhere
(2008 c4 coupe 1.6 hdi vtr+)

20230112_123521.jpg

On the Citroen C6 2.7 HDI model year 2007, the bonnet can no longer be opened because the cable has broken somewhere and the lever in the interior is not working.
Is there an easy way to get to the broken cable and open the bonnet?
Where does this cable travel the most?
How is the cable replaced and what has to be removed?
Greetings Wolfgang

HI there, Im looking for some advice on what the hoses here are supposed to connect to?

The engine is a XU10J2:

- The Red one is currently source of a big vacuum leak and the engine stalls when I place my finger over

- The green one is also a vacuum leak source but less so, when i place my finger over it nothing much happens but I can...

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...

Hi all,

Nothing happen as you park the car, even no car drow appear on the LCD when you park the car.

Hi,
Does anyone know if i can put 2din radio in place of original screen (7 inch or something close to that)?
Obolikol.

Hi Folks,
on my 2010 C4GP 1.6hdi (auto) I have a P0299 code (turbo pressure lower than reference flow) - It is actually reading turbo pressure but there is no vacuum to the turbo 'lever' (turbo end of pipe 7 in picture below). The 'lever' does actually move freely by pushing it and seems to hold the vacuum (pulling the pipe off and putting finger...

Hi, I wonder if I could seek advice on a de-pollution problem with my 2007 C5 1.6 HDi. It is in limp mode and has the following issues logged when connected to diagnostics.
Short circuit to earth of the additive pump power stage.
PO245 Turbo pressure electrovalve control.

On a separate diagnostic read- Remote Fault

Hi,

This isn’t for a French car, it’s regarding a K12 Micra 2008 but you chaps seem much more clever and helpful than any people on other forums, and this is, I imagine, relevant to any petrol engine.

It’s a little 1.4 litre petrol engine. It’s burning oil, worse on acceleration from what I could tell driving behind it. Empties its sump in only...

Do they play any important role in the HDi design beyond essential for (icy weather) cold starts?

Mine has it's glow plug relays out, possibly just one, garage man said not to worry, however I've noted for a while that my engine sounds unhappy on cold starts..

The foam in my passenger front seat has collapsed. Management is complaining of the frame tube pressing into her leg, fair!
So, I have another front seat to replace it, same fabic, everything good. BUT, it does not have the side airbag.

Is it poss to swap the seat backs? Can the upper and lower halves be split? I have 3 weeks untill we are going...

Hi!

1 month ago i have regassed 6 spheres on my Citroen C5 X7 Tourer, 2.0 HDI 2012.

On the very first ride i have noticed that the suspension became quite stiff, it wasn't as soft as before.

Thinking that one sphere didn't hold the pressure, today i have rechecked the front ones and the pressure is fine.

The suspension level is correct, made...

Apologies firstly if I shouldn't be asking this. I only joined the other day:
I've put a deposit on a 2012 2.0HDi C5 Tourer in silver and before I transfer the balance I'd like to check the VIN.
The usual free/dodgy sites either don't come back with anything, or one came back with a white 1.6 saloon!

Is it possible to get a build sheet of this...

(/Ironic mode on)As i had lots of time available and nothing to worry about (/ironic mode off) , i did it again... Got myself an Activa S2 from 2000 :-D
Pics to come soon , but i can advance it is an 2.0 Hdi and black - No polish & detailling for now , as i have quite a bit to do on suspension department.
Spheres blown , missing some gaiters -...

Hi i have a question, will s1279 lexia module connect with my c5 x7 or do i need some other module for thus car?

Hi guys! Hope you all alright! English is not my first language, apologise for any mistakes.

My Citroen is really struggling on cold engine.
Hesitates around 2000rpms when engine is cold.
No faults, no warning light on dash.

Things i have done so far:
-head gasket
-exhaust valve on 2nd cylinder (there was big chip, zero compression)
-clean...

Good morning all

After a bit of advice please.

After the beautiful shame of being recovered from a busy retail park on Saturday because the car was stuck in reverse. I suspected the gear change cables and got home to have a look.

One of the cables had popped of at the gearbox end and its not going back on easily. Is this normal? Should it be...
