Hi,
I'm looking to buy a brand new Berlingo M MPV Petrol version.
First of all are there any owners out there with advice or anecdotes good or bad?

Secondly I'm just outside west London but I can't find any dealership that has a petrol version to drive or look at. All the dealerships seem to want to push is electric versions. Does anyone know or...

Before I start I'm aware it's a Citroen and has the dreaded Prince engine but I'm stubborn and won't let it get the better of me.

So the car isn't running right suffering from the following symptoms: rich exhaust fumes, stuttering at low rpm(setting off and crawling is a pain), rev hanging around 2k rpm. The car seems to slightly improving as it...

Hi I’ve been looking all over the various forums and can’t find anyone that has had the same issue but sorry if it has been asked before.
I have a GP 2014 with aircon and climate control on a touch screen in middle. If I turn the ignition on WITHOUT starting the car then the heater motor runs fine at all speeds as it should.
However when I then...

I was once told that an '06 vehicle will not fail automatically with the EML on, just looking at my failed MOT it says 08, so when did that change? 17285938480227892575693572233661.jpg

i have a permanent fault code which states service status is configured wrong ,anybody any ideas what figures i change to delete the fault ?

Hi and thank you in advance for all the help I may receive.
I am going out of my mind with this car.
I have a egs gearbox problem and I'm not really sure where to turn. Car is C4GP 1.6 hdi egs 2010.
About a month ago the clutch gave way so I went to a trustworthy recommended garage as I wanted the job done properly and got a new clutch kit fitted...

Hi,

This looks like a great Forum. I've joined today to hopefully get some advice on remedying a seat-based cock-up.

I've managed to put the central rear seat back in the car wrongly, having removed it to move a sofa.

Only the left-side front hooks were successfully hooked round the black bar and yet I managed to clip the right-side rear round...

I have a problem with my C5 1.6 THP. The second piston is not working, the spark plug is wet, and starting is very difficult. The error code I got on the tester was P0202; I checked the injectors, which are okay, and now I have U1208. Can someone help me with an opinion? The engine is running on three cylinders. Thank you.

Good evening! Does any of you know how to check my coolant level sensor (OEM: 9623733580) ? It should be resistance, right?

Last week I overheated the engine thanks to coolant leak. I was not aware until the temperature reached 105°C... Luckily there are no damages to the engine, but I want...

Hi,
I have a problem with my C5 x7 2.0 136km hdi engine. Sometimes it starts-up for 1-2 seconds and then shuts off. If you keep the starter on after the initial start-up then it runs after keeping it on hi rpms for some time. Then for 3 months nothing like this happens until one day out of nowhere it has it's problem again. If you manage to make...

Hello.

I’m living in Germany and require new brake pads and discs for my Space Tourer 2.0 HDI 177 PS(130kW).
Year October 2018.
From the VIN, I have the code 3001/AYN.
Unfortunately, this is not recognized on Bandel or other parts sellers.

Does anyone know if the brake pads and discs are the same for the Jumper 3001/AWN or can offer any help in...

Hi all.

After changing the bottom radiator hose and refilling the coolant system I get the above warning lights. I note that below the hose as it enters the engine there's a mechanism that looks as if it's hydraulic in nature. I may have disturbed it or the electrical connections. Tight space and The wire may have been strained.

My question...

Does anyone know if this can be done, specifically for a Xsara Picasso 1.6HDi?

Hi
I have just got a Citroën 2.5 relay 2001 camper which won't start. I have no power at the lift pump and I believe there is a fuel cut off switch. The hand book says it's under the bonnet, but there's no sign of it, I have checked under the dash at both sides and there's no sign of it there. Can anyone tell me where it is , if it even has one on...

Evening all,

Just a quick one (Hopefully :rofl2: )

My passenger side indicator light stopped working some time ago.
So... knowing it was a sealed light I purchased a new one and went about replacing it.
So I took the wing mirror apart in the normal way that is to replace the unit.
Put it back together & went to test it.... bosh.... still not...

Hi folks - newbie here. Just purchased a 2013 picasso c3 1.6 HDI 90 and still trying to get round it. I had to get a new battery and the positive terminal was so corroded I decided to get a new lead as the spring clip was also broken.

(1) What is the slide off component on top of the battery box?

(2) How do I get it apart to fix that end of the...

Is anyone finding it difficult not having a tear wash wipe. My new C5 Max doesn’t have one. Reversing Manoeuvres in the dark when it’s raining is proving very difficult. To compound matters the rear camera has stopped working.

Hi All

Sandi & Simon from North Wales here.
We have recently bought a Citroen Dispatch XL and in the process of converting to a mini camper.

On trying to get a link from the 12V socket at the rear for a camera, we seem to have blown a fuse (at least that it what we hope it is) - the rear 12V socket and the 12V socket at the front under the...

The plastic ball joint on the top of the push-rod that connects the diaphragm to the swirl valves has broken - a common problem.
The standard fix is to replace the diaphragm unit - quite a cheap part. However, Citroen no longer supply it.
The solution would seem to be to 3D-print a ball-joint connector. Has anyone done this yet? Or found another...

Hi All, My van (berlingo 2014 1.6) passed its MOT but came but with a bad oil leak. I suspect the cam shaft gasket is away as the oul seems to be below the rocker cover gasket. But today, my van seemed to lose power/boost, driving up a hill. The engine management light has come on. I plugged it into my machine and code the error code P0243 -...

I have a 2010 auto Citroen C4 grand picasso and occasionally when I turn the ignition on I get the service light come on and a message saying 'gearbox fault repair needed' it usually goes off once I've moved the selector a couple of times but on three occasions now when I've come to put it in neutral before switching the engine off it won't come...

Hello everyone,

I'm about to buy a NOx sensor. The brand is from Delphi. Does anyone have experience with Delphi?

Wife's 2007 C4 1.6 hdi is running well, but its weeping oil out of the air doser and the PCV valve. I know the PCV is at fault (it was only replaced last year), but trying to get one locally is a mare :roll: The car is going on a long journey soon and i wanted to replace the PCV valve and see if i could maybe replace a seal on the doser?

My 2011 citroen dispatch 2.0ltr hdi cut out the other day and wont restart. Had a diagnostic guy out who told me that it was a faulty ecu. Since had it to another garage who scanned it and came up with fault code P0337 engine speed signal short circuit between 2 wires or open circuit. They have since managed to erase this code and thevehicle tries...

Dear guys,

Sory if answered before i looked but could not find an exact answer. The car is at 360.000 km and runs perfect. Usually used at highways before. I track the car with FAP program. Once the active regeneration starts the weight of soot decreases to 0.00 but regeneration process goes on for about 30-40 km sometimes. (if i stop the car and...

Hi, it’s just started happening today. I drove about a 1/4 of a mile this morning and an alarm sounded in the cab for about 20 seconds with no warning lights on the dash.
When I turn the ignition on now the alarm sounds for about 20 seconds and then stops again with no warning lights on the dash. The van still drives ok, any advice would be...

All pre-facelift X7 owners know the pain of replacing the DRLs. The least-worst way to do this is with a T45 key and some BluTack, but you risk either dropping the key (like I did twice) or the bulb into the bowels of the car. I got fed up of this, so I decided to design some keys to help the process. The mode of operation is pretty much identical...

Hi, I think I need some help here and am very grateful to have found your site. The donation definitely looked well worth it to keep you going with such a great service.

Situation is that my garage is pretty certain that I need a new clutch and flywheel and my gearbox is OK....

So I am trying to install a cruise control to my Citroen Jumper (from 2013). In this type of van this shouldn't be too hard, as the CC should be prepared already. (There is this useful Dutch blog already.)
But I can't find any wiring information about the ECU in my van, which seems to be the Continental SID 208. Does anybody happen to know...

Following on from my earlier post about my power interruption in the C3 Picasso I have obtained a new brake light switch, my manual clearly shows the switch plunger contacting the brake lever, a bit of footwell mining reveals that my car has no switch in that location? anyone carried out this simple procedure?

I have a C4 2008 Picasso, when starting the car a clanking sound comes from the dash, sounds like the auto brake trying to disengage, it goes away after about 5 clanking noises, sounds like something tapping in the dash, could it be the auto parking disengaging
Thanks

Hi all really struggling with this one my car turns over but will not start. If I spray easy start in after a while she will run but you have to hold high revs. I had it on Lexia and only fault code was fuel rail pressure sensor signal fault, I tested the wiring to it and plugged in sensor to see it at 0.5v with key on, changed the sensor itself...

I am trying to order a new oil seal for the gearbox.
The part number is 1608816780 but looking around it seems to say part 1623179580 is the same but looking at the pictures they look different. The dimension's are the same but it has a extra lip on it. Does anyone know if they can both be used

Hi all,

I need to change my clutch on my 6 speed manual gearbox.

Engine is a 2.0HDI DW10BTED4.

I remember seeing an image of where the bell housing bolts were sited, but now can't find it!

Am I correct in thinking there are 4 bolts (2 on the top side which undo away from engine & 2 on lower side which undo towards engine?!).

Many thanks.

I have C5 Aircross with motorised tailgate
I can't see any release button from inside the car?

Hopefully Marc can help me out here.
Is there a specific procedure for setting timing after rebuilding the 2.0 hdi dwb10 engine or is it just the timing belt replacement procedure. I think It might be 360 degrees out on the crank but would like to have a procedure to check.

Yesterday I finally replaced the right side driveshaft and then today, after just 3 km drive, I heard a sudden bang (like driving into a deep pothole) and saw the car tilt a bit to the right.

I drove to the side and parked the car, checked underneath. No errors no leakage, nothing broken (as I could see). The car is 100 % as normal on the left...

Hi everyone,

first off I want to say this is not a Water Pump failure post.

Me and another owner (both with SpaceTourer manual gearbox) have noticed that the OBD Water Temperature reading is generally around 100ish degrees, while sometimes it drops to 82-83 degrees, and it doesn't seem to be related with the drive style or roads.

Water pump and...
