Hey! All first time poster!

My C3 2012 has developed a new issue where the blower doesn’t work in speed 5, “the only useful one!”, has anyone got any ideas why the 5th speed has stopped working?

I would also be grateful if the wiring schedules for the manual Blower control unit could be provided!

Thank-you in advance!

I have a Citroen relay euro 5 with electronic turbo actuator.I have a p0244 fault code and I’m trying to trace the fault.I’m leaning towards it needing a new actuator or sticking turbo vanes but also when I do a test which checks for air entering the engine it is coming back as fouled.Does this mean the actuator is sticking or another problem.Any...

Hi, My handbrake!! One of the cables became detached from a caliper and on taking up the slack, my actuator has become stuck tight.
Hopefully it should be a case of giving it a hand as the motor doesn't have the torque to do it.

Does the brass outer spin like a nut to wind the cable in and out?

Hi folks....warmer weather is coming, so I thought i would install my dashcam in my c5 tourer, which means getting into those weird positions that a contortionist would be proud of looking for the right fuse to piggyback. Could anyone put me in the right direction of what fuse I have to piggyback. I have the 2litre diesel 6 speed auto, I don't...

Steering rack on my 2015 c4 grand picasso 1.6 ehdi exclusive has a really bad knock. So im looking to replace it with a different rack and just swap over the electrical part from my current rack. My question is, is there a way to gain acess to the rack without having to strip off front bumper and every part connected to the sub frame. Or will i...

Hi all I hope someone can advice how to resolve this.
I have replaced an electric steering rack in C4 MK2 1.6bluehdi with second hand one and have an fault code U1221 81 stating ''No communication with power steering ECU'' I have used latest lexia diagnostics so believe the code must be correct.
Can someone advice if the new steering rack needs to...

Hello

I have a problem with the headlights after repairing the parking brake under the seat.

Similar to this topic: my headlights turn on by themselves after about 1 minute (it doesn't matter if the car is locked or just the doors are closed). When all the lights on the board go out, after a while you can hear a click and the lights come on....

Im wondering if anyone could help me.

I have purhcased a new drivers side switch control, operates fron and back windows. I am having trouble getting part of it to come away from the door panel. Most of the switch lifts off from the clips but a corner bit doesnt seem to be relasing. This is the back part of the switch where the locking part is on...

Hi folks,

I've still not got round to the timing belt job, but noticed an oil leak I'd like to identify (and fix!). However, having looked from as many angles as the cold weather and a pair of wish they were taller drive on ramps will allow, I'm struggling to know what I'm looking at.

I've removed the plastic under tray, which was covered in...

Hi there!
By any chance, does anyone happen to have the alarm wiring diagram for a 2009 Citroën C4 — specifically for the arm/disarm switch? According to what I found here on the forum, the reference number for the switch is 8603.
Cheers!

Hi There
I have a 2011 Grand C4 Picasso 1.6 HDI VTR+

I got this message: Particle filter additive too low: Repair Needed

From reading around and looking under the car, I understand there is a plastic box with a pouch of liquid that needs replacing.
Could anyone help me with the following:-

I bought a C3 FEEL 1.0 in Brazil and I'm looking for information on this subject, but I haven't found anything.
Well, the C3 has an internal button that locks/unlocks the doors, but it only works with the key in the ignition. If I'm outside the car and unlock the doors by pressing the unlock button on the key, when I open the door, go inside the...

Hello to all.
I tried to search but did not find anything about it.

My question is ... Is it possible to enable auto hold on a c5 x7 DV6TED4 FAP, or possible to retrofit ?
it needs to change the entire brake system ?

Hi.
I have a Citroen C5 II 2.0 HDI sedan from 2008 that Ive done some work on.

The radiator, thermostat, timing belt, water pump and all sensors for timing was exchanged during the winter.
When the cooling system was filled up again it was bleeded with success, heater on High and warmth coming slowly.
So, the strange begins. I´m driving the car...

My van was running on and off. Sometimes idle ok 30 mins other times you have to blink the throttle to keep it going. Got if from the auction never run properly.
As soon as you connect the battery there is a clicking from a relay around the battery area running or not.

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of changing my transmission-side crankshaft seal and I just removed the gearbox. Before I touch the clutch does anyone have any tips or things I should look out for during removal/refitting? I was also wondering if anyone has torque values on the bolts holding the transmission and the block together. (The ones marked...

Can anyone tell me where can I find the headlight tilt regulator? I've checked my manual and it is supposed to be in the steering column, but I can't see it anywhere. Even searched all over the car. Are these automatics or am I really THAT blind?

Thank you all.

Hi, my S2 Xantia. My catalytic converter has decided to rattle like crazy when cold. So looking to replace. Has anyone changed one? Wondering what the pitfalls might be. Or is it a Garage job. :shock: thanks in advance Terry.

As per the title, I'm looking for a pinout diagram for the Bosch EDC15C2 ECU (3 plug).

I found the following on a Peugeot forum which has some helpful information on what signals should be, but it is not quite right for my engine/ECU combination as according to the responses this is for a semi mux unit whereas the full mux (like mine) have 3...

Hello everyone,

When I accelerate, there's a slight air noise coming from the turbocharger. It's letting air out somewhere it shouldn't. Where exactly is the air/pressure being released from the turbo?

The cup that sits on top of the coil spring under the top mount , is there meant to be a washer if so what's the part number for it ?

Hello I own a Citroen C4 1.6 VTi year 2009 and I'm trying to fix my faulty ABS. I'm getting the C1381 Recirculation pump supply faulty. But the thing is that when I directly actuate it via the ABS module through diagnostics it is working and I can hear it and no errors are found after clearing the error code and trying it again and again.

Morning all,

Took the '94 1.9TD S1 Xantia for its MOT a few weeks ago. The drive was awful. Suspension was rock hard and the front ride height seems too high. Hard to tell but the rear is probably a little too high.

Now before we all say it needs new spheres, it shouldn't as I checked them and regassed them before the return journey and there...

Is there a simple way to find what front brake size I have on my 22 1.5 bluehdi Berlingo K9 XL?

When I look online I find options for 283 mm ATE, 283 mm Continental or 304 mm. I could take the wheel off and measure it but if it's 283 mm then I still wouldn't know what type to order.

Hi all,

As I mentioned in my other thread recently, I picked up a 3L diesel saloon with absolutely zero service history last week. Mechanically, it seems mostly fine from the ~70 miles I've driven in it, but I've booked it for a thorough inspection with Chevronics on the 11th. The results of said inspection will determine what I do with the car....

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.

My father-in-law has a 2017 C4 Picasso petrol automatic and as a result of various medical reasons, the car hasn't been driven much in the last 6 or 7 months at least. I've taken it for one longer run and borrowed for a few short runs, the last being probably last November. We haven't been able...

Hi Gang

I'm having a bit of a saga with my C4GP. Having driven it home from the seller, it's not moved an inch since!

I originally thought the battery was knackered and so bought a new one in December. It wasn't delivered for 3-weeks so I refused delivery and bought one from somewhere else.

I stuck it in last night but I still have the same...

Hi all,

I know that swapping from basic seats to electric ones is too complicated to be worth the effort, but I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade a car that already has electric memory seats to the heated/massage ones?

My interior is looking a little shabby, and if I'm swapping anyway it would be nice to upgrade.

Hey everyone, I'm not actually sure on how to use Fourms so hopefully this reaches y'all so I can get some help.

Hi
I have fitted new front shocks on my c4 coupe,
Now…
On the top nut under the bonnet where the little cap is there is a 5mm gap, where the the little cap doesn’t sit on the body if this makes sense.
They were aftermarket shocks from gsf
Have I tightened the nut to tight that holds the top mount and spring?
Can I back them off equally so the...

Check engine pop out, Start/Stop went orange. But it was on and off. Some day Start/Stop worked (max time 30sec on the new battery), some day kick out straight away...

It has come time to replace the clutch assembly in my C4 Picasso (230,000 km). The winter wasn't kind to her, the clutch starting really wearing after having it stuck in a farm field and rocking the car back and forth between reverse and forward gear to break free - since then it had been grinding whenever building inertia, like stopping at...

Hello!

I recently bought a 2013 C5 X7 touring with the 2.2 HDI and dual exhaust pipes. Really loving all the useful information on this forum, and I've been able to find a ton of answers to questions I've had so far.
My problem now is that I want to mount a detachable (preferably) tow bar / hook, but am having a hard time to find a quality...

Hi!

My 2012 C5 X7 with hydraulic suspension has a front clunking noise on bad road surfaces/ repeated road imperfections. I feel the clunk coming especially from left driver side at the feet/ pedals level.

I have replaced all the bushings/ joints/ arms/ links as you can see in the photo, and i can still feel it, at a lower level than before but...

Help needed, please!
I think I have been sold a mis-described and defective product. I paid a local parts supplier almost £2k for a NEW gearbox for our Relay van and had it fitted by my trusted garage. After only a few miles, the transmission started to make the bad noise heard in my earlier video.
A few days ago, we got the van back with another...

Hi guys, we've got a 2008 Picasso with a 1.6 HDi engine that will turn over fine but just won't start, it won't even run on easy start or brake cleaner (don't worry, it's a demonstration car, we'd never use brake cleaner on a daily driver [-X) we've cracked off the unions at the injectors and we're getting fuel there when cranked.
