Need pipe name or product number and what it's for/ does. I know it is supposed to go under the engine body to somewhere that's covered by engine tray I...

I took Die Fliegender Zitrone for its MOT two days ago.

Only did 29 miles since the last one so started it up on Sunday. All good apart from the battery.

Came to drive to MOT on Monday and the rev counter had stopped working, an ABS light (or so I thought) on the dash was on and it had lost a bit of fluid so I pulled over banged her on high and...

Hello all.

My first post (from Sweden), but I have been here reading about adblue, pressure in coolant and so on.

The pressure in the coolant container was a bad, leaking cylinder head gasket. I went to my shop and got it removed, planed top, pressure tested and remounted. When doing this I changed the timing belt and water pump. All good so...

My citroen c5 tourer diesel 1.6 2012 has started to go into ECO mode. It stated as I had the air conditioning on, this cut out, then whenever I was coming to a halt, it would cut out. I have to go though starting the engine every time. On the dash the ECO mode starts to flash.

Hey,

I have a petrol Berlingo multispace 1.3l 'forte'. It's 2003 with 70k miles.

The issue happened today driving home. While sat in traffic the engine began juddering/pulsing. Rpms didn't seem to move (?) but the juddering was bad, when I accelerated and increased RPMS the juddering reduced.

As I pulled away the engine management warning light...

Hey everyone,
I need some help identifying the correct pollen filter for my Citroën C4 Cactus 2018 (the restyled version without the plastic side panels). When searching online, I found that the PSA part number 1609428080 is commonly listed, so I purchased it. However, I later realized that this part is for the pre-facelift model and is not...

I am having an issue with the handbrake not engaging on my 2015 Grand Picasso - 1.6 HDI, I have had a look through the forum which is excellent, and followed some of the information given, It seems that the driver side (right side) rear harness from the EPB is prone to breaks to have checked the entire length of both sides for breaks and nothing...

Hi all, I have a 2016 berlingo van 1.6bluehdi euro 6 engine. Clutch needs doing I’m wondering if it has a single mass or dual mass flywheel.
Thanks in advance

I have had this car 5 years and the eco stop start rarely worked however it didn’t present any errors. Recently on a cold morning the car threw a lot of warnings, engine & service lights. I took it to a 2011 local Citroen garage (not dealership) and the diagnostics suggested an unspecified electrical problem to which they recommended I replace the...

Hi Everyone,

Firstly a little background on me, this is the first Citroen I have Owned so i have little experience with modifying them, however have been modifying cars for a long time and have had several magazine features with cars i have built/modified over the years so i am not phased by the challenge that lies ahead

Hello, I have a digital instrument display on my 2008 Picasso C4, please see the attachment for a photo of the same display I have (note, this is not a photo of my actual display as I don't currently have one).

The display has developed a fault where it is missing a few rows of pixels at the bottom, it is annoying my wife so I'm trying to find a...

Hi, is the info below correct for a C5 2.0 Hdi manual 5 speed box, particularly the capacity?

Thanks

Manual gearbox
The engines are coupled with an ML5T manual gearbox with gear ratios to suit the type of engine and vehicle characteristics.

The car drives fine and the rear height is right until after leaving parked up for hours. It sinks down to the stops rear only and raises to normal height when started up. Seems the LDS level is OK and no oil patches underneath so I think it's an internal leak.

I'm sure I heard of a known issue for hydractive 3 that had this symptom- possibly...

Hi everyone.

Today, I read Haynes manual and what it says about checking coolant level on a Xantia II 2.0 16V (XU10J4R RFV) but I couldn't understand what it means!

This is what Haynes says about Xantia:

Hi...
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as I have lost the thread whilst looking online.
But I have a 2014 C4 grand picasso 1.6 hdi Automatic.
And since owning the car I keep getting (especially if it's a damp morning) the ESP/ASR Fault light comes up.
Where's the first place to start looking to resolve this please?
I remember...

Had battery changed at Halfords and now the alarm goes off immediately when locking with the key fob. I am in High Wycombe. My local garage (Citroen servicing) said it is likely to need a BSI software download but they are reluctant to do it because they have had cars lock up completely and need someone to come from London to get the car usable...

Hi all first post in the forum and probably something that's been touched on before.

Hello all, you may remember me from other fun threads such as Is my timing out enough to cause no start? , but I am back once again to terrorise the forum and pick your collective brains. :D

I'm having some further problems with my C3 Picasso, namely:

Can the Hand Primer Bulb be replaced with a small inline electric deisel pump.

Hello everyone,

After I have completely repaired my vehicle (Nox and Adblue problems) I would like to upgrade my car a bit.

I would like to install a rear view camera. I find various universal cameras on eBay and Aliexpress. Do I just have to connect it to the display with the video cable? I installed an Android Car module in my car because...

Afternoon,
I’m having a few issues with my 2005 2.0hdi Picasso - cruise control not working, generic code reader says EGR flow high and an issue with the camshaft position sensor bank A. Just wondered if anyone in the Fife area has access to Lexia that they might be willing to share (for a fee of course).
Cheers

Hello,

First time writing here but I’m looking for advice.
Bought a c4 grand picasso a year ago (reg 2015)

Hi guys,

Hi All
I’m trying to find out how much oil I need between Min and Max on a Peugeot Boxer 1.9td 2001 dipstick.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've not been here since 2017 - but I now miss the magic carpet ride on long cross-country trips, so started thinking about another 'real' Citroen. An XM (Break?) might fit the bill and they're not (yet) fetching silly money so I joined the XM forum; where I've happened upon a post on this subject with a broken link to the relevant FCF Wiki. I...

Hello, Im trying to figure out a possible issue with fuel filter and loss of fuel pressure. I have code p2291 and just doing some visual checks when I saw that I have a leak from the fuel filter cap, specifically at the button that is used as pump(correct me if Im wrong about the pump). Is this normal or it should be dry.

Hi, I've recently had the above code flash up on the dashboard, I've got a Citroen C4 Picasso semi-automatic, 09 plate, drives fine goes through gears fine, occasionally when trying to go into reverse it doesn't want to know. Any advice would be appreciated thanks

I still have p0490, 0409, 1351 and now a new code 0104 which I believe to be connected to the MAF.

Anyone with any thoughts on what this could be would be most welcome.

I've been reading conflicting information on this. Anyone have experience know if it's bad for to fill the adblue tank to about 3/4 instead of full? If I buy 20 liters I end up wasting most of one of the containers, so I want to fill just 10L. It shouldn't be a problem right? I don't like being wasteful and I also don't like being stuck with...

Hey guys!

I have a problem I can't seem to solve or find a post with a similar problem. My central locking works, my remote key fob works (new batteries, LED blinking, IR working) but when I try to lock unlock the car with the remote, nothing happens. Also I've noticed, when I messed about with the IR receiver in the car and touched some contacts...

I have decided to replace the 12V battery, as it always shows a low standing voltage, and takes most of a Sunday to charge on the Optimate. (It is 3 years old, and I suspect it stood flat for months between the car being traded in at 2 years and me buying it at 2 1/2 years which will have killed it)

It is an 027 EFB battery, the one fitted is an...

Over the years I have seen questions etc about this car.

This has surfaced.

Hello everyone,

My next problem is that the Code P0693 and P0493 show up on a diagnostic instrument ( Not Diagbox)
I have changed the unit that is connected to the fan motor ( I see it as 1529 on a print I have of the cooling circuit diagram) Called perhaps fan motor control or relay unit.
Despite the change I still see these fault codes...

Hi FCF Team,

I have looked to see if this question is covered elsewhere, but don't think so? Sorry if being dorf!

On a 2009 Xsara Picasso petrol 1.6 DOHC.

Turn on ignition and even before engine start the car beeps once and the 'ABS fault non-function' message comes up.
But car drives normally and the light stays on all the time.

OBD reader...

Because of course it is.

I've been grappling with a poor-running Berlingo for a little while now, and I've got most of the way to the problem, but have a few questions I'm hoping you can help with.

Symptoms
Rough idle, especially from cold.
More white smoke than I would expect.
Strong diesel smell at idle.
Classic injector rattle under load from...

Hello,
