Hello,

I have a citroen c4 2008 1.6 hdi 9HY (110HP) NO FAP, ecu reference edc16c34 0281011629.

I've been suffering with a power problem for over 7 years, I've been to several garages and no one has managed to solve the problem or identify its origin.

When I press down on the gas pedal, it takes an enormous amount of time for the car to react;...

Hi all. Just got this van and drivers door lock is not activating at all. I have removed the lock and tested it in the passenger door and it operates as it should. I have 12 volts to the 4th pin in the lock connector plug. Any ideas where to look for the problem ? I'm guessing possible broken wire but maybe there's s known problem that is common...

Right this car is kicking me at every turn, just gone out to put it at the back of the drive and now the heater will not work, lights up and even the aircon kicks in but not a single turn of the blower, can set it from zero to max and alter the temp but blower refuses to start. :evil:

Off to B&Q to purchase some really big sledge hammers :rofl2:

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

Hello again folks. I'm getting my old Mk2 Xantia TD ready for it's MOT. All going well except for an intermittent activation of the Air Bag lamp and no hazard flashing when selected. The indicators all work properly as indicators but I get nothing when I select the 4 way flashers. I understand there is a separate relay for the hazard warning...

Been tinkering around with the layout of the screen, basically by just rearranging positions of what’s already there. Simples? But I can’t figure out how to save the new version. :?:

Hi,

I have a Citroen C5 x7 (2011) model. (Diesel, 112HP, 1.6L, semi automatic (manual gearbox with automatic shift)

I've noticed that there's oil marks on the ground after I've been parked for a while. Removed the left front tire and noticed it was bleeding at the left bottom part of the gearbox. My question is. Can I refill oil here, or do I...

2011 relay . How good are the brakes on these vans meant to be ? The brakes on my van are not the best pads and discs are all good brake fluid has been changed but the pedal is still spongy and keeps going down very slowly if i keep pressure on it any idea's ?

Hello

I have a Citroen C4 Shine 2021 RH drive. The screenwash has stopped working randomly. I've done some research and see this is a common issue with Citroens and is either an issue with the fuse or the screenwash pump.

My issue is trying to find the location of the fuse. The manual tells me the fuse is located under the dash in F5 & F6....

Hi all, so picked up my car last night from airport carpark after being away, and noticed my fan setting was on max, but the fan isn't working, (i presume the carpark attendand has been sitting in there with the aircon on) it was working fine on my journey there, any ideas what this could be?

Thanks

I just put a new window mechanism in my x7.

Reset the anti pinch. But, the window only goes up after it has gone down.

If i open the window a small amount and then try to close it, it will open to halfway. Try again at halfway and it opens fully.

When it's open fully I can close it like normal.

I assume it's something to do with the anti...

Hi all

I have a 2007 mk1 facelifted C5 VTX+ which never came with parking sensors. I found an exclusive in my local scrapyard and managed to get it's bumpers with parking sensors, and the ECU that sits in the spare wheel well, as well as the control panel with the parking sensor on/off button.

We managed to get the panel, rear bumper and ECU...

On a general service of my Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0l petrol Automatic, while replacing my spark plugs, I've discovered oil all over the bottom of the nearside spark plug, and a little came out on the bottom of my spark plug socket. From what I can gather, replacement of the cylinder head gasket and spark plug tube seals is required. I can find in...

I'm finding lots of varying oil types/grades when doing a reg search on our 69 plate C3 Aircross 1.2 PureTech S/S

Is there a way of finding the definitive recommended oil type (0w-30 or 5w-30) given the issues with cambelt (mine wasnt subject to recall thankfully and looks ok at present) - car has done 26000 miles

Many thanks

Hello! I've been on the ride for purchasing a Citroën c6 for quite some time. I've had some specifications one of which was that the car should be a V6 petrol, which is quite rare unfortunately. After a long search, I happened to find 3 cars that suite my taste. All of them 3 located in Spain.
Now, I love roughly 3000km far away from Spain, and...

I own a late 2017 C3 Picasso. Is it possible to replace the low profile wheels and tyres with normal ones, as when travelling you can virtually feel a matchstick when you go over it. If so what does it entail re the speedo etc Thanks

Any idea where the reciever dryer is on the xsara picasso 2.0hdi/2004.

Hi Folks

Any ideas i stopped car today just to check something and yes engine was still running but

Smells like a dirty diesel

Sounds silly but cannot be normal can it

Further to my messages to you recently re Service light
Indicator on my dash board. I have a Citroen Picasso C3 1.6 VTR 2011.
This light keeps coming on and off on my dash board. Yesterday it was off all day. But now it's back on to day.

I got a dinogstic test done on my car this mornning and the fault came up as . Intermittent Air Flow. But no...

I suppose I have had 12 mostly trouble free years of Activa ownership so I can't really complain... :D

It turned out that having purchased the bits to repair the rear ram, the big leak at the back was actually coming from the disintegrated four-way return connector above the ram, so that was an easy fix and my ram remains stock (and still gently...

Cord A in the pic does nothing on the near side rear passenger seat.
It folds the seat back on other seats.
Pulling the cord at the back from the boot moves the backrest a few degrees but not fully.
Is cord A attached to something behind trim B, C, or D?
If so, how do I remove B, C or D to access it.
Or is it a different problem entirely?...

My dad just bought a 2001 HDI 90 Xantia Break, it's overall in pretty good condition but I've got a list of questions.
I've tried researching online, but there seems to be very little about the Xantia out there.
It's going to be a long post, thank you to whoever has the patience to read through it and maybe give some answers.

-The car has no...

Good evening all.

I've just had a new rear NOX sensor fitted by my local independent garage. The urea light is still flashing and the centre console screen is still saying engine won't restart in 700 miles.

I believe the garage didn't know about the need to re initialise the emmisions system.

Can anyone offer any advice as I'm due to drive the...

Hello all from West Australia.
My car has blown the suspension motor pump fuse. I believe the problem may be a clogged up commutator on the motor as the replacement fuse has also blown. A gentleman named Ellis has submitted a very informative post showing how he resolved the same issue on this forum.My question is, can the motor commutator and...

Hello
I have a problem with the suspension on my C5 X7 2,0 aut. I have changed the 2 front spheres but it's still very hard as if its constantly in SPORT mode. I have checked the fuses and they are fine. Can it be an electric fault? It is only hard in the front and normal in the rear.
Best greetings
Thomas

Please can someone confirm the correct fuel filter change/bleed procedure on my 2017 C4 Picasso diesel?
VIN - VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

I used to have a 2014 diesel previously, which had a bleed pump button on top of the fuel filter housing to press on and off until it when hard.

On the 2017 it's a different filter housing with no bleed pump.

I've...

My knowledge on car repairs is very limited

My MOT report said i would shortly need my rear discs and pads replaced and I took my car into my local garage that I have used for the last 7 or 8 years (non specialised just local and trusted for me) with different cars and he said that they could not get the ECU to take the electronic parking brake...

I'm finding it very difficult to find a second hand steering rack for my C4 VTS.

According to Servicebox the part number for the rack assembly for my car's VIN number is 4000 ZV (or the replacement p/n 16 179 341 80 or the exchange p/n 16 636 523 80)

I then looked through servicebox for every mk1 RHD C4, they all seem to use the same part...

Hi folks, I'm currently having an issue with my car's electrical system. Last month I installed a new battery (the car was stored for many months so the old battery had discharged), all worked normally and took the car to a mechanic shop to fix some issues with the suspension. Fast forward to today, and the car did not start; it cranked but very...

Hello,

Today, when D gear is placed, there's bump . When driving, everything works perfectly.
Citroen c5 2012 150kw .
What can cause this problem?

My C4 Grand Picasso continues to keep me busy with yet another problem.
For several months the coolant has been disappearing without trace.All the usual checks revealed nothing.I even resorted to removing the heater matrix as a possible hidden away leak, but that was ok too.
Today I found the culprit

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...

I literally just got home with my 'new' second hand van, a Citroen Jumper from 2013 (called Relay in the UK it seems).
Only now at home I'm discovering the lock doesn't work! I can only lock the drivers door, which alone doesn't do much of course. I tied the passenger seat-belt around the passenger door in desperation for now 8-[

Hello all,

I've decided to install a subwoofer from previous car into current 2014 Grand Picasso. What I need is to identify front door speaker wires. Then I will be able to tap in existing audio output. Googled for many hours, and stuck at the yellow plug in the fusebox inside the glove box. Few websites show how people able to locate front door...

Had a gear box swapped on a 2010 1.6 Scudo/Dispatch and 5/Reverse is not selecting. Is there an adjustment/setup procedure for the linkages and cables? I`ve seen a post for Peugeot 508 which has a similar box

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can help with this Hydractive suspension problem:

My 2008 C5 Tourer Exclusive (automatic) suspension was rock hard and obviously not working properly. My indie mechanic said it was the front spheres that needed replacing. He determined this by going round the four corners of the car and rocking the suspension and...

Hi everyone,

I seen in an old tread that people were having similar issues but wanted to get some advice specific to my problem.

Ok so, I have a 2005 Citroen C4 and the other morning I started the car and the heater/AC just didn't come on. But it was working fine the night before. The rear window demist still works. The lights come on and...

Looking to add an electric vehicle to the family car fleet. Sold my last Citroen last year and thought of trying one of the newer ones as I don't do much driving now.

I've seen the E-C4 and will test drive it next week. Any known issues or versions/manufacture years I should avoid? I believe Shine Plus is the top trim but didn't see it having...
