French Car Forum

Good Morning - I’m new to this forum and eager to understand what’s happening to my car. I own a C4 Cactus 2015 BlueHDI. My car dashboard displayed « engine fault : repair needed ». Upon diagnostic at the only Citroen car dealer in my country, the following Codes came up - P1434 96, P1435 00, P02CD 00 and FEB4.
The garage recommended to replace...

I've had no end of trouble with tyres lately and keeping them inflated and it turns out the issue is with the TPMS valves leaking due to corrosion. Chain tyre place said they didn't have those type of tpms seals etc in stock so tried to seal them but it failed with one of two new tyres going down overnight. Best thought was to buy a set of chinese...

Hello. I have an citroen berlingo 2012. It has a problems with connecting to the abs module. It has a lot of different fault codes involving connection with the abs/esp ecu and also on vehicle speed. I have tried to connect a new (used) module and still cant get any connection. This used module didnt have the same part number but is from a similar...

Hi,
I've been trying to figure out what could be causing the front windscreen washer from not working on my c3 Picasso.
The 10amp fuse is fine
The pump audibly works
The rear washer works, albeit seemingly at a low flow rate
Under the bonnet, I've pulled out the pipe from the first tee join, before branching off to the nozzles. There is no water...

Dear guys. I got frequently this error (P0131). The car starts active regeneration as soon as weight of soot reaches 1 g/l so makes every 150 ton200 km active regeneration. As soon as starts active regeneration the P0131 occures again as i clear the fault before.

Do you think this frequent active regenerations are related to faulty oxygen sensor?...

Hi all
My 2009 semi auto is having problems changing up. When it's cold it's normal, but after 20mins it changes gear very slowly and revs to max and changes slowly. It's not slipping, it has just changing up slower.
When first started in the morning it's fine for 20 minutes.
Any ideas please. Thanks.

Hi all, next question.

I have a Citroen C4 Grand Spacetourer 2021 reg with the 1.5 bluehdi engine. Was the timing chain upgrade from 7mm to 8mm a recall or just something that I would have to have done myself assuming that it hasn't already been done on my engine. That leads on to my next question. Is there any way I could find out if my engine...

From couple weeks, I try fixed the issue which I have with my C-crosser 2.2hdi. Main reason why I bought them is for the towing Caravan. When I driving around the town and even out is everything alright. The problem is come when I tow Caravan and I need full power.
When I’m come to uphill and accelerate with the ref over 3000 rpm the engine is...

Hello all, my first post on here,

I've been keeping my eye on this Ad-blue issue for a while. But the various posts about it are across varying time periods so I was just wondering if there was a current status, known affected models and preventative options knowledge base that was up-to-date.

I own a 2018 (18 plate) C4 Grand Spacetourer 1.6...

Bit of a quandary

My X7 has just done 2300 miles and the autobox has behaved impeccably. The car has 160,000 miles and no evidence of any work done on the box in the (pretty complete) service history.

So I'm torn between doing a partial change or just leaving it alone. Could a partial change introduce any problems that are not there at the...

Hello all, me again.

Is there any way I can get the full service histories for my Citroen C4 Spacetourer 21 reg. I did ask the dealer who I bought it from, used, for the history but what I got back did not really tell me anything. All I have at the moment is a series of dealer stamps in the service book.

TIA

Hi

I have a 2012 Berlingo 1.6hdi. Unfortunately due to a water leak, and an overheating incident, it is showing all the classic signs of a warped head and as such needs to be replaced.

It is the 110bhp version which I understand has the 9HL engine code. I've looked around and can find plenty of the engines, but most use a different engine code,...

CAR is Now SOLD

Hi

Hope someone can help

Is there anyone in Leicestershire or localish to Coalville who would be able to come to my non starting 1.6 hdi 2013 berlingo

I fear it will need a decent obd reader (I only have a cheap one)

Don't be afraid to come forward

I have a problem (self induced) with a S1 car's sunroof..... I have, hanging on my wall, a complete cassette from a S2 V6 (incld motor relays etc)

The plan would be to switch them over..................Anyone done this because to me the cassette looks like it is the same but the motor/relays might be just need to be swapped over.

(Note, the...

Before a trip to the local Citroen dealership, I thought I'd ask here first.

Citroen C4 Picasso Exclusive + 63 plate.

The auto wipe / headlight dip / lane warning isn't working, this went when I turned the lane warning off. I've had this issue once in the past and I used diagbox with success but this time it's not having it, so I'm guessing...

Hi guys ive recently brought a 14 plate nemo with 130k on , has had new engine but when started the engine will idle but the accelerator is unresponsive, yet if you turn the ignition on wait for the glow plugs and give it around 5 seconds it will start sound a little rough but the accelerator is them responsive. I have had a local mechanic look at...

Hello, lovely people of this forum.

The title says it all. I am pondering not continuing to own my 2008 1.6hdi Tourer and instead get a 2.0hdi (but one with 163bhp, I miss having more power on tap).

On paper, it seems like a good idea. It will be newer (163hp 2 litres are only from 2010 onwards, methinks) and I plan to get one with less miles....

Hello, I recently purchased an aftermarket keyless entry module. Can you help me with a BSI diagram? it would be much easier for me to know where to tie the wires than to look for them myself.
Thank you.

Hi, my saxo diesel is not starting and i narrowed it down to a diesel solenoid stuck closed because im not hearing it click, and the car turns over fine and when i put easy start its starting.

My question is.. my pump has the bosch armature to prevent theft on the solenoid, i removed all the bolts and the 2 bolts without a head, there is a split...

So im having some problems/leaks with my 1.5D saxo bosch diesel pump and i need to remove it from the engine, apart from removing the pipes and accelerator cable and other stuff i have a question about the timing, i know how to remove/refit the timing belt as ive done it 2 times successfully so far, but i heard that you can install the pump 180...

Hi

I've come across a company offering a re- programming of the ECU which does not disable the Adblue system, but stops the car being affected by error messages, count down, going in to limp mode etc... It is claimed that it is a legal way to solve the issue of a faulty system. Does anyone have any experience of this? I'm not interested in the...

Hi Guys - I have checked my C4 2L petrol (EW10 engine) compression pressure during cranking (throttle wide open) and I only get 95psi! This seems too low. I am trying to trouble shoot the reason it goes to limp mode. I get consistent P0011, P0012 and P1160 error codes.

When engine not in limp mode it starts and runs fine so compression pressure...

Oh my oh my! - Thanks for the info, Marc- I was expecting a price in that neighborhood but again- wow! :shock:
Can I ask here for buying options? There is both original parts and non-original alternatives out there, does anyone have experience with non-original shock absorbers perhaps? (If this enquiry is not fitting here, just tell and I will...

Hi,
This is a 2019 model but I've only had it two weeks. This morning the parking sensors have been going funny. Driving up the road the front one would beep occasionally and then when I returned to my home to park it said the sensors had failed and I need a service. I turned off the car and then tried it again and the parking assist is turned off...

Hi everyone,

I’ve got a Citroën C4 Cactus that was involved in a collision, and after repairing it (replaced seat, curtain, and driver’s seatbelt due to airbag deployment), I’m encountering persistent fault codes related to the SRS system. I used an Autel MaxiCheck MX900-TS to read the codes, and here’s what I’ve found:

Permanent Faults:...

Hi I have the Citroen c4 picasso 2008, it came up electrical fault, the starter won't try to start and the inside dash fan won't work, it was driving ok until today, I tried the circuit board on top of battery and checked the fuses, any help please, thanks Anthony from Ireland 🇮🇪

C5 X7 '08 dumped all its LDS, but I can't see the leak.

It dumped some over the week, and then dumped a load with the front suspension dropping to bottom.
The leak seems to be near front drivers wheel.
I refilled it with 3l of LDS, drove it 140 miles, and parked it over night.
Other than 2 drops, no leaks.

Took off drivers wheel, strut looks...

Driving on a highway engine is sometimes jerking and losing power for a split second.
Reading some posts here on forum, the problem could be with crankshaft sensor, so I need part number for speed/crankshaft sensor.

Thnaks!

Hi All,

I wonder if anyone has had a similar issue or can shed any light on this for me.

I have a 17 plate Dispatch 1.6. Bought it used a year or so ago and it turned up with dirty looking coolant, flushed it out and refilled but went dirty quite quickly again, although it doesn't look like oil contamination I don't think. No other issues with...

Anybody recommend a decent reasonably priced fault code reader with app for 22 plate C4.
Have had a few messages relating to parking brake and/or autobox not in Park when starting but want to have a bit more detail on the problem.
Used to have a Lexia/Diagbox when I had the C5 but think it got recycled when I got rid of the old Win7 laptop!
Cheers

Morning all,

Jumped into the HDi last night to lower the suspension.

Met with a transponder light that doesn’t go off for 30 seconds but car starts.

This is not normal behaviour.

I am in a bit of a mess at present but do have the factory Coded Anti-theft Device manual somewhere. Where I have no idea as had a deep search for it last night!!...

Firstly in an effort to improve my 01 bingo I bought some seats from a 2017 model.
Anyone done this conversion ?
I know I’ll have to make a beaker but that’s no problem.
Secondly, before I fit these I need to put the old ones back in but didn’t note where the plastic spacers went. Doh !
Anyone know ?

Anybody know what these parts and how to fix the leaks?

What might be the problem.with my car whenever I reach 45+ mph my service light blinks it's now a week and it happening after taking the car for service.

Here in California there is NO premium Diesel.
Chevron does sells Biodiesel B20 . it has a higher Cetane rating.

Should I stick to conventional AMERICAN diesel fuel ?
What are your opinions from the other side of the pond?
(Is this Biodiesel B20 available in UK ?)

I am concerned how this new Chevron / Phillips fuel would affect my old Diesel...

No, NOT my one ! :)

Friendly and they do a Postal Service.......

I'm currently on my trip to the UK and the car has behaved impeccably so far - however today, after accelerating hard to overtake a lorry, I got the engine warning light and a Pollution System Fault error message. I plugged in Diagbox and got the fault that said Fuel Pressure too high which didn't seem to be related to Pollution but was the only...

Hello all. I'm celebrating my Berlingo's 10th Birthday, trying to buy it some gifts to hopefully help it survive another 10 years.

The bits of plastic at the bottom corners of the windscreen are pretty brittle and curled up, and have also probably suffered at the hands of a couple of windscreen fitters over the years. Part codes 8251EQ and...

So the time has come to work out what is wrong with my 2009 C5 X7 (2L 138) that keeps throwing a P1166 code that puts it into a limp (ish) mode every time I use kickdown to overtake.

Can anyone give me an idea where to start please?

Is it too high or too low a pressure?

Should I start with the HP fuel pump or is there a Fuel Pressure Regulator...

Following my brief intro, here is my issue! The vehicle has had a very easy 45,000 miles and runs really nicely, idles perfectly and pulls smoothly from 1,000 rpm up to 4,000 +

But! On-Off throttle is really jerky, really really jerky. I have checked all the engine mounts and they are all in good condition, but it feels like a fuelling issue...

In the words of an infamous ex celebrity...I know...its a knocking noise from the front,central, whenever encountering even the smallest bump. Its not droplinks and its not any of the usual suspects. I am told it could be the bolts which fix the rear subframe to the front,and that these loosening is a common problem ( the car is a 1999 Hdi...

I need to lift the car to check the rear wheels and it seems the bottle jack i own is not up for the job.
What car jack to buy for 1st gen Grand C4 Picasso ? - mean which specification of minimum and maximum height

At which height does the car need to be lifted in the back if it has pneumatic suspension (only the back) ?
When lifting the back...

I want to add heated seats into my ds3 and want to use the original fusebox as it has a space for the seated heats (an option in Europe) . I would just like to know what type of pin connector I need to crimp onto the wire that pushes in to the bottom of the fusebox.

Any ideas?

Fusebox p/n is 9652935680

Hi, I just bought a C2, 57 plate, and it had a nasty aftermarket stereo so I bought an OEM stereo off ebay. It is made by Continental, model RD4N1M-03. Before I bought it I made sure I got a security code for it. When I installed it, however, it didn't ask for the code, it just beeps. How do I stop this?

Hi all - first post =;

I have a berlingo mutispace from 2018. It is a 1.2 petrol with the pure tech flair engine. It has done less than 55k miles

Around a year ago we first encountered an issue where our car would go into limp mode and the on screen display would say ‘engine fault - get vehicle repaired’. The first time we took this to a...

Dear guys,

Can anyone describe me which cable for what? Thanks. This oxygen sensor is faulty i know but i want to look for termostat and voltage values.
