French Car Forum

Hi Paul, yes, you can adjust the volume of the traffic announcements and this is remembered by the radio so that announcements will come on at the volume you chose.This is quite useful ecause even if you have the volume down and are driving in silence, the Traffic announcements will still come on at the remembered volume.
My problem is that the...

Hi,

Could you share the service schedule for my car too please:

I have a Grand C4 Spacetourer 1.5 BlueHDI 130 Feel Plus VIM VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Many thanks

Paul

PS this is a lesson hard learnt the hard way - on my old C4 Grand Picasso my auxiliary belt broke on the autoroute at 130km/hr... it took off the main belt and ruined the engine :(
I...

I have the same problem.

Unfortunately, I can’t access the link that you have posted, even after joining the forum. Can you help please?
You need to upgrade your membership to access the resources section where that link is stored.

Thanks PaulC5, I've not seen white smoke from either HDi I have owned when running at speed

a bit of technical reading for someone.....

flowmeter air temperature -49 ?

Hi,

did you find the solution for this temperature issue?

Thank you!

Best person to ask would be Marc in the Citroen,ds, Peugeot parts thread. Your a member so post your VIN and he should be able to tell what part is missing if its missing and also the part number.

Hi and welcome. I've split this off into a new topic as that old thread is being deleted as it's really nothing to do with this Forum and is causing confusion.

I'm sure you will get some advice from other Berlingo owners here at some point, but why not start by asking some specific questions as that's always a good start.

i bought this car like this, and the owner said he drived over a bridge, and it happend,
OK thats not ideal we dont know the full story, bear in mind there is always the possibility you were not told the real story from the person you got the van from

i dont have a oscilloscope, but i can borrow one, about the Data & Data Wires, what color do...

Apologies for the late reply Vladimir
Thanks for your input will check them👍

I am resurrecting this thread, because I have just had a very similar experience with the same engine that sadly led to the scrapping of the vehicle...

Car is (was) a 92bhp Xsara Picasso, passed an MOT emissions test with just 0.12 1 year ago....
...failed just now in 2024 with the reading so high the emissions test was not even continued to the...

I've heard of bad experiences like passinger 5555 said using some no name powder sealant (radiator clogging). I used only liqid sealant from Wurth strictly following manufacturer's instructions. My c5 runs fine (this summer on crete and peloponese on more than 40 celsius) without adding any antifreeze in the bottle, like i was doing before.

Yes, be very wary of some places as they have all this hi-tech kit and no clue as how to use it properly or it's been wrongly calibrated - ATS caused my new tyres to run to the wires in 3 weeks because they didn't know how to properly track a C5 MK II (engine should be running while on the laser tracking post lift machine) and they put it out of...

The BSI is definitely not locked on this van, they started using ‘locked’ BSI’s around late 2017 however they are not ‘locked’ to a dealer tool anyway as the dealer tool bypasses the secure gateway.
The Citroen dealer tool still currently supports way older models than yours.
I wouldn’t waste anymore time with this dealer, go to an auto locksmith...

I am not sure about nut size at ABS block, but I am pretty sure flare is DIN.

Not really, dry for more than a week.

I wasn't as impressed with the wear on the Crossclimates, but a lot of that will be with the front wheel drive and very poor roads here in the country, so that's why I wanted to compare the Goodyears as they are about the same price. Never had an issue with cracked tyres - apart from the original Bridgestone Turanzas that were fitted originally...

They may well be able to, as they can disable the hands-free element of most of their vehicles, so a possibility you may want to ask about.

I’ll certainly bear it in mind.

It’s only a suggestion of course, and I can’t guarantee it won’t throw up any errors but nothing that I can think of.

Very likely the module has worn out, so yes needs a replacement.

After the air flow sensor, normally the first pipe after the air filter that has no electrical cable attached to it. It's a 2 man job though.

Me too in '19, on 2007 c5 mk2 and still running fine.
All you have to do is to keep the pump motor dry from lds.

You can get the dealer to deactivate it for you as it requires a change in the BSI to disable it - or someone with experience that has Diagbox.

Don't worry about the window not being open - it's for safety reasons only in case you need to get into the car.

My first suggestion would be that the connector underneath the driver's control pad has come loose - but seeing as you've replaced it, there really is only one other likely suspect and that is the wiring harness between the A pillar...

Yes, this is normal. It's in your owner's manual.

It looks a LOT better than the 'camper van' Jeremy Clarkson built!

Hi Doo, Do you know if your source of pipes still has stock or other pointers anywhere else in the whole country where these Berlingo pipes can be bought? A friend has been stranded and searching as not available from Citroen (NFP) and Plieides etc can't help here in the south either.

Cheers, W2G

Thanks a Lot aerodynamica .

Definitly it has nothing with tires FOR SURE !
It's a mechanical problem, agree with C5000 .
I solved this problem using only a little teflon tape on the axle of the motor and put the niddle.(mine was not briken, only loose)
Than turn the niddle on the line under 10. Put the conectors and drive witn the cruse control to check the corectness of the...

It sounds like the gearbox has jammed or broken. They are quite easy to remove, 3 x 10mm bolts from memory after you remove the cover. Take the opportunity to clean and grease the other side as well.

It would help to know what fault codes are currently being generated.

Yes, wire in parallel to the door speaker. Make sure your tweeter has a small capacitor fitted, most will.

I am a new c4x owner and my car has only been on 2400 km
I have encountered the same error 3 times so far. I think the car is giving an error when trying to activate the start-stop when it is close to stopping.

Apart from this, I feel a slight hesitation when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. I heard that there is an update in the recall campaign of...

Check the battery voltage in case it has failed.

Our C5 battery does not hold its charge if the car is not used so I thought the alarm might be the culprit. I disconnected the siren but this did not help, just put the alarm red light on. Disconnecting the control unit did not help either but put on the hazard lights when the engine was running so I had to connect it back. They are still the...

Please don't ask for help or advice on disabling emissions systems on this Forum as it's not legal and we don't allow it here. :wink:

Expect problems if you have done this as the engine management system is designed to work with these systems intact. Always repair or replace.

A CD input connector to the Head Unit is what is used by some Yatour and other models to mimic a CD changer in order to play music files (not Bluetooth in this case) and relies on you having your music files on a USB that plugs into the Yatour. The Yatour connects to the CD changer input at the rear of the of Head Unit, which then thinks you have...

Have you confirmed what the charging voltage is at the battery with the engine running?
Everything you are saying is sounding like the battery is not being charged.
How ever its such a basic check that i would have expected any half decent mechanic to have checked??

Thanks Marc.
In the end, I found a '55 plate Xsara Picasso, 110bhp (with cruise :D)
As anticipated, there are issues - the most striking is slightly intermittent power at high revs, especially at high speeds.
The car needs a new timing belt.
I forsee that I'll be spending more down the line, but reasonably happy for now.

Alight...got it thks.

It's accessed from inside the car - you have to be a bit of a contortionist :)

Was the previous grade of oil you drained to spec ?

I think, I have an explanation. That wasn't captured in reverse. I expect it was actually in P.

I repeated that test in reverse and I saw valve 5 being activated for approx. 2 seconds, then came the jerk, the sound of reverse, and valve 5 was deactivated.

3 was active in P and in N;

3, 4, and 5 were active in D.

That should all be correct....

It should work like this in any case - but with an automatic gearbox, it should be in D, M or R.
