Hello all!

I have a problem with my Citroen C4 2005 2.0 petrol (with lpg system).

I have seen that the coolant is dirty with oil probably but the dipstick looks clean. I have had a problem half a year ago with the oil radiator that was leaking oil in the coolant but it was changed with a new one.
Im a bit confused if it can be the head gasket or...

Hello all.

I have just got back from a round trip of 1200 miles in my 21 reg Citroen C4 Spacesaver. No problems and it is a very comfortable car. My only crib is the Michelin tyres that do seem to be quite noisy. It has the 1.5 blue diesel engine with 26,000 on it which performed without a hitch. It isn't due a service until May next year...

My partner's daughter's '99 Xantia has LHM dripping from underneath. I'm in Brittany, France, and the leak seems to be coming from a plastic white T connection, just below the universal joint of the steering column. The car is a lefthander. There appears to be a black plastic pipe disconnected from the T ...
The mechanics here are useless (either...

I've ordered a reconditioned turbo for a C4 Picasso 2014
VIN - VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Part number is 0375P7

My question is, does it need coding to the car or using Diagbox to let the car know there has been a repair/replacement - or should it just be a straight swap out (clearing any fault codes from broken turbo).

It's a solid rod actuator (not...

Dear All,

I need to buy some oil for the above.

Would someone be able to tell me the right type..

There are varying suggestions on websites with vehicle reg searches.

Many thanks in advance.

When starting the car I hear a single beep and is greeted with a yellow engine warning.
It says check the side lamps .
When activating the right signal lamp using the indicator arm I then get another beep followed by the message check the direction indicators .
If I blink to the left then I get no...

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping someone here might have an idea on how to solve an issue I'm having with my **2015 Citroën C4 Cactus 1.2 automatic**. Before diving in, here’s a quick list of the parts that have already been replaced:

- Complete timing (distribution) set
- Oil filter
- Air filter
- Spark plugs
- Gearbox
-clutch

The problem is that...

hello everyone, for 5 days now I've been the happy owner of a 2014 diesel 1.6 diesel with 115 horses, and it's just great for what I need it for, I want to ask the old owners a question, on the front roof it has ambient light bulbs but they don't light up, maybe because the version is medium and not rich, does anyone know how I can make them work...

Dissasembly of the C5 to change the clutch was progressing well, everything that needs to be is now loosened/apart and it's only taken me last week's after work evenings! That is apart from the intermediate bearing and the removal of the O/S driveshaft, whos bearing (and possibly shaft into the box) is seized SOLID, and I mean it.

It has been...

Hi all, I have started a new thread for this as it's a new problem. The C5 is throwing code P1210 open circuit pressure regulator. I plan to pull the regulator over the next few days to test it.There is absolutely no fuel pressure and it's reading 96ma of current. She briefly ran on easy start but doesn't sound great hopefully when I get the...

Hello folks,

The wife’s C4GP (2016) has a problem where the screen demist blower doesn’t blow. This issue started off as intermittent, but is now full time. I’ve tried swapping out the relays behind the glovebox, and a small 3 relay pack located behind the blower chambers, but the fault is still apparent.

Can someone provide the schematics /...

Hello, I'm new here and tried using search, but as there are many C5's and I am not sure what I am looking for. I have a 2010 Citroen C5 HDi 2.0 VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

So I definitely have a leak, the water is coming from somewhere near the rear of the engine. At first I removed the plastic pipe on the bottom, thinking it was that as the fluid...

We have a 2010 C5 x7 2.0HDI VTR+. I am selling it to a mate and wanted to stop the alternator rattle before he purchases it.
I have done all the suspension joints, engine mounts, offside driveshaft and timing belt and water pump so the car is worth keeping for the longer term.
I broke my tools trying to undo the Alternator Pulley.
it was beyond...

Hi

My C5 Tourer 2010 2.0L Diesel 163bhp had a very expensive MOT trip to the garage in February and returned to the garage within a couple of days and spent most of March, April, and May there with a multitude of mainly ECU/BSI faults. Since then it has more or less functioned correctly apart from a more On than Off Anti Pollution fault. I've...

A smallish amount of oil was lost via the driveshaft and the gear change has never been the smoothest so I would like to replace the entire gearbox oil. It’s a 1.6 BlueHDi 120 (07/14 - 10/18) 6 speed manual box, VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
From other info I’ve seen I think I’m OK with the process, empty via the drain plug and refill via air vent hole....

hi
this is on a c4 grand picasso 2012 has just had a new dpf fitted and about 2 or 3 weeks later i get the dpf warning back again this is why i had a new dpf filter.
i have put a new dpf pressure sensor on and still the same. it gets 7 milibar at idle and 120 milibar at 3000rpm stationary. Could it be the dpf additive needs refilling?
I dont have...

I'm getting power/signal at all 5 wires at the plug on the drivers motor. all + & - signals showing good.

Plug the motor or a known good motor in and it clicks & I feel the torque flick the motor momentarily.

But press switch and not a peep :wtf:

I've tried a 10 second re-set, still nothing so I am confused as to why it's receiving power &...

Hi,

I've recently acquired a 2014 Jumpy 2.0HDI and had a few minor issues since. Both headlights failed in the last couple of weeks.
On replacing the second one I've noticed that the alternator voltage is around 15.1 Volt (car running).
This seems a bit high to me (I assume up to 14.7 would be acceptable but not higher).

I've entered my car...

Cars are being scrapped because people can't get hold of the 5270VP hydraulic pipe which takes LDS from the long front to back pipe to the centre spheres.

I may have a source of these and of the pipes out to the struts and repair sections for the long front to back pipe.

Is anyone interested? I'm on the verge of buying what I need (from...

Hi,

I've recently acquired a DS3.
The air vents only blow slightly warm air when set to Lo.
I had the Thermostat changed under warranty as this was failing.
I hoped this would correct the lack of un-heated air but no.
I'm guessing that the hot/cold flap is not closing fully?
could anyone suggest if this is the case or if anything else could be...

21 June 2024 my Citroen C4 with 33,000km on the odometer started, I drove 50 metres and the car stopped and wouldn’t start again.
Called the local Citroen dealer who came with his tow truck marked Citroen Assistance and he eventually managed to unlock the handbrake, automatic, and get it on the truck. He then told us it would be 3 MONTHS before...

Hi guys, I had the “gearbox faulty” message and it cost me just £44 to fix!!! Here’s how:

I have a 2009 c4 Grand Picasso diesel, with the semi auto gearbox, gear lever on the steering column. I had an intermittent problem, a beep followed by a message saying “gearbox faulty”. When the message appeared, I would shift the gear lever into “A” and...

Hello I'm looking for some information please. I need the dimensions for the 1.0 engine bore and pistons. Is there anyway this type of information can be obtained directly from Citroen's web site?
Thanks

I have a C3 Puretech.
Despite string assurances from the dealer that it SHOULD have one reverse light and one Fog lamp,
I have used my eyes and I can plainly see that there are fog lights and reverse lights on both sides of the car.
This makes some sense in terms of manufacturing - they just change the wiring based on country of sale.

However:...

Hiya, i have a quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to yet, I hope you can help 😁

I'm looking at purchasing a 2010 C3 1.6 vti exclusive automatic for my partner. It's done about 75k, but before I go to view it etc, if like to know if it is a belt or a chain driven car?

Hello!

How do i remove this panel safely?

How to remove this.png

So after sussing out the engine and determining there wasn't anything actually wrong with it (clutch was rattling it wasn't a damn rod knock) the shock mount failed and shot the sphere up and into the hood.

Is there a reinforced, better quality mount available anywhere?

Anything I should know when replacing it?

Thanks

Hi, new to forum and not mechanical I’m afraid.

Our Citroen ZX Dimension 1.4 petrol is not starting.
When I turn the key the dashboard lights come on but engine doesn’t turn over.

The car only goes out once a fortnight.

I bought a new battery but no difference.

A neighbour suggested I check the leads to the starter motor, but I do not...

Has anyone got any idea how to remove the blower fan from a right hand drive air conditioned 2005 M59 Berlingo. Every video or instruction i have seen has the fan placed in a different location. The only thing i can think of is that these vehicles are not air conditioned. My blower fan seems to be loacted next the bonnet release latch and makes it...

Car was driving then cut out,after letting it cool off it drove again. Now it doesn't want to start at all. Tested the ecu, and key, not faulty.

I have a couple of issues with my c4 grand picasso... first of all I got the dpf additive level low message . I refilled the tank but the message remained with the p15b3 fault code. I then took it in to the garage where a guy looked at it with his diagnostic machine but couldn't reset the counter but the tank was showing as 99% full. I then got an...

Hi does anyone have a service schedule for the above van please :-D

thanks
john.

Hello everyone,

Since I can't pay for the repair of the AdBlue tank and Nox sensor, I decided to deactivate both. I've had peace for 3 weeks. Does anyone have any experience? Does anyone know the emissions values? How can you keep emissions levels low? Clean DPF more often or use additives?

Hi I was driving down the motorway in France. I stopped for a coffee, restarted, drove a few minutes then realised that although the engine was running fine, the dashboard was basically off - all gauges, speedometer etc on zero. That's a bit worrying when you're driving at 89mph. I stopped, restarted, same problem. Pulled into a service station,...

Hi there,

For the start - I don’t want to make unnecessary mess in parts request area so I will just add a note in this post.

I finally got my clone of obd interface and diagbox. I scanned my C4 and started fixing all things.
So far most of small mechanical issues - fixed.
Still some electrical/module failures I have to fix :/

The VIN number...

My C3 air vents have this strange discoloration about them. The metallic silver paint on them seems washed (blown) away...

Is this from too much AC usage on max or something??

Any way for me to repaint them or replace them, whichever's cheaper??

btw the car was bought used, so this is the previous owner doing....

Hi all

I'm having an issue with my C4 grand picasso. My headlights have both stopped working. Im not 100% sure one may have stopped before the other. Bulbs are fine. I believe the fuses are fine (I checked 4 10amp fuses which are listed as having some headlamp function).

The stalk still operates the full beam and the fog lights correctly.

I...

Hi everyone,

I'm seeking advice on a persistent steering issue with my 2016 Citroën C4 Grand Picasso. Here’s a summary of the problem:

Hi all,

My c8s alarm keeps going off randomly. It's a 2002. I've tried pulling a fuse that claims to be for the alarm siren but it's still going off and I think my neighbours are getting sick of it. Any ideas as to how to stop it?

If I could find the siren I'd be tempted to just unplug it but I don't know where it is.

Any pointers gratefully...

Evening all, wife's car failed mot on a drive shaft boot (or gaiter if you like) which is annoy9ing because it fails every year on the one side or the other! :hb:

Hi, when outside temperature gets below 10°C, my Berlingo 2010 1.6 66kW cabin heating fails and it blows cold air. When outside temperature is 10°C or more, heating works fine.
What could be the cause of malfunction? :shock:
Thank you for any idea. :wink:

Hello everyone,
I'm a new owner of a 2015 Citroen Jumper. The van came with the basic steering wheel with no buttons, with considerable wear to it.
I found online a steering wheel with buttons in a much better condition. My question is: if I switch my wheel to this one, will the controls work with my van? I am only interested in the volume...

I have been given a near-mint C1 Diesel 1.4 with the usual Siemens injection system to play with.
A local garage sold it to a couple who I know. On their way home, it was clear that something was very wrong. Low power, stalling, check light on etc. Fortunately, I had covid when they bought it, so I couldn't 'recommend' it.

To cut along story......
