Hi all, need some advice my left blind spot indication doesn’t seem to work as well and my right side one!
As soon as a vehicle starts to pass me on my right the yellow indication lights up in my mirror, and stays on until the vehicle passes! Now the left side is different only comes on after I’ve passed a vehicle but only for a few seconds! No...

Hello i am new to the forum .

We bought the car last year and have had trouble with the concentric slave cylinder . It was then found that the previous owner had had the gearbox it replaced with a similar unit from a Peugeot 3008 , we...

Hi all,

Usually I've been able to find this info online, but does anyone have a fuse box diagram for the C5X? Trying to hard wire my dashcam and can't find the info I need :D

Thanks!

Hello everybody,

Xantia fans

This week my Xantia has developed heavy steering. Did the usual oiling of the steering UJ and it hasn't helped. Steering is normal for a few miles then stiffens up. Brakes feel fine and the light goes out in 3 or 4 seconds. LHM is new just a few months since last change

With engine running i've checked for leaks and noticed that I...

Evening.
Would anyone have a wiring diagram for a 2007 1.6 hdi Berlingo?

I have fault codes showing which could be in the same run of wires from the ECU.
Plan is to test wires to find any breaks or shorts that could be causing faults showing. Mainly p0237 low voltage to boost sensor.

I found out the play i thought was a worn inner tie -rod was infact play in the steering rack.

On the rear of the rack there is a black plastic lid / plug 18mm Allen key, right side picture below. w

I guess there is some kind of bushing inside. Is it possible to adjust the play by screwing this lid further in. Or remove ant change whats worn...

Hello,

I recently bought a 2021 Citroen C4 (Sense Plus), and I'm still getting to grips with the electronics. I didn't receive a manual as part of the sale, but have found some options online.

I've been looking in vain to see how to activate the ConnectedCam. I've seen that more expensive trims of the car have various smart features that come...

Hi all, wife's 2007 C4 1.6hdi 16v wasn't happy.

On return from our holiday, there was a helluva exhaust vibration that started at around 62mph. Thing is, the exhaust checked out and as far as I can see, none of the heat shields were loose, even the steering rack one looked good. But we did have a ton of smoke on hard acceleration. I knew the car...

Went to price a tow bar and leccy today.

THREE HUNDRED AND WHAAAAAT??? :shock:

Apparently, the programming is as expensive as the heavy metal :roll:

Then there is the bay.... All good until you see the legend, Doesn't Deliver to Scottish Highlands :evil:

It's all a con by so called courier companies who treat the Highlands like somewhere on...

Hello everyone,

I own a Citroën Jumpy 1.6 (90 HP) and I've been experiencing some issues that have led to error codes P0192 and P0299. Here’s a quick rundown of my situation:

Symptoms:
The vehicle goes into limp mode when driving up steep hills.
I get the error code P0192, which indicates a low input from the fuel rail pressure sensor....

Is this oil leaking from the turbo? Is it serious? Would an extended warranty cover this repair?

So I have bought a Citroen C5 X7, and it has the Hydractive suspension. I bought it knowing it had a fault where the front of the car sits high all the time.

Using the buttons inside the car, I can raise and lower both the front and the rear, but when I set to normal ride height, the front of the car goes back to the high setting, with the rear...

Dear All,

Thanks for all the help I've already had on this forum.

Just wondered what the Citroen recommended Coolant is for the above.

VIN number: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Many thanks

Don't know if it would be good to describe this as solved (because it shouldn't have been a problem in the first place), but I've decided to share this one with you in case you experience something similar. A few days ago, I was doing some Lexia work on my car (exploring, more or less), and turning on options that I think should be turned on ( :D...

Can anyone offer advise please.
My C4GP won't start. It tries to turn over and then says engine fault. Trouble is can't run diagnostics as eco mode now active. Any ideas how I where I start to look or how can diagnose please?

I was sent a NEW brake pedal switch CITR0EN 4534 66 .

Hey guys, I need to get a nsf hub assembly and just need to know if someone can tell me if it is only 1.4 furio assemblies that are compatible or are any other C2 hub assemblies the same such as a 1.1, VTR or VTS.
Many thanks!!

Good evening all,

I've had a brief flash of 'suspension fault' pop up on two occasions over the last month or so and on both occasions the nearside front wheel was splashing through standing water.
The message disappears after a couple of seconds and all is fine with how the car drives.
I've plugged the old laptop in tonight and there were the...

Hi all.

I’ve got a pretty standard fault on my Citroen C4.
P0271 injector short circuit on injector 4.
The car has then thrown the ecu error and gone into limp mode.
Normally it would be a pretty simple, if slightly expensive fix to replace number 4 injector.

What’s concerning me a little though are the other electric faults that have all...

My sisters car, Citroen C4 Picasso, currently being 'fixed' by a garage. Initial fault reading by a different garage was Adblue pump failure but the car doesn't use Adblue. I've since found out it uses Eolys fluid.
Is the pump for this a replaceable item or does it come in situ with the fuel tank? Looks like this job is going to cost her a bomb as...

Hi everyone,

I'm seriously considering buying a used C5 aircross 2019 and I had it checked up when some fault codes came up.

Could you please help me understand the error codes and if any of them point to some large issue that I would need to spend a lot of money on fixing after buying the car?
Using the forum and google I have figured out some...

I have a 2018 Citroen C3 Mk3, with a driver's side window issue.

The window has been stuck fully up for 9 months.
I finally got around to investigating the issue today.

I am a capable mechanic, not a newbie, but even I have bad days.

I have power to the regulator motor connector, both positive and negative pins, when activating the door...

Hello dear owners of French cars!
When trying to free the rear calipers using diagbox 9.68 to replace the rear pads, several bugs popped up, including the C156D62 which does not wear off and the handbrake is no longer tightened.
In this case, the handbrake signs are constantly flashing on the dashboard.
Today I checked the wiring, it is intact...

Hiya everyone. I have to replace the left suspension arm and the wheel hub, too, on my citroen c8 2.0 hdi, (2007). There is also an older model for parts, but this is a 2.2 hdi one. Can i use the lower arm and the hub from the 2.2 for the 2.0? Are these parts the same size? I could not find anything about it on the net.
Thanks

Hello my citroen owners friends,

I searched and looked where that could be and managed to find 2 locations where its leaking from one is top engine and one on side where the oil...

On another C5 thread I highlighted that a pair of knock-on rim weights, on the inner rim, had been fouling the hand-brake cable guide bracket, unseen since fitting in 2018.
I have started this thread to highlight the other problem knock-on weights can cause - corrosion. The photos tell the tale. So, I recommend insisting on stick-on weights. As my...

I work with electrical diagrams, and recently i've started to work with the new C3 2021 (Latin America) but I can't find any place with the wire codings meaning. I've tried old Sedre (2013) but when the code has some letter in the middle, it doesn't work. Can someone help with a way to at least understand some of that coding?

Hi all, I am hoping to replace the tpms valves on the C5 and am wondering about reprogramming them. I've read that they can be done using Diagbox although I only have a Lexia3 with cloned operating system that does recognise the tpms but I don't think there is any option to program valves.

Wondering if there might be someone in the Glasgow area...

I've just bought a 2015 DS3 BlueHDi which appears to have a substantial oil leak. There seems to be a lot of oil pooling around all 4 injectors, the top of the gearbox is absolutely plastered with oil, so much so I was able to take off clumps of sludge in my hand that were about 2-3cm in size.

As far as I can tell, there's no leaks from the...

Hello
My sister has just brought round a C4 Picasso. 16v Diesel. The aircon is not working and there's no pressure on the low side.
