Hello guys.
I have a 2008 Citroen C8 2.0 hdi with the RHK engine. I need to replace my injectors. I have a set of injectors from a Peugeot 407 with a RHR engine and just wondering would them injectors work with just plug and play or will I have some modifications to do with the ECU? Will my snap on diagnostic tool work to do all the coding /...

Hello guys.
Just joined the forum hoping to get some help as I’m about to go nuts.
I have a Citroen c8 2008 2.0 hdi (RHK) and I recently replaced the engine as it had piston ring or valve seal issues and I had sourced a decent engine and I thought I’d replace it. Swapped everything over from original engine other than the injectors as 3 were...

Hello All,

Did anyone experienced slight vibrations when acceleration in second and third gear? My car is quite new, only 3k km, and sometimes I feel some vibrations only in the low gears, 2 and 3. On highway everything is smooth.

Hello. I own a c4 1.4 16v petrol, engine code KFU (ET3J4).
Car ran very well until now. Now it doesn't start. Replaced the spark plugs. Fuel pump works.
Battery new (and good), clutch replaced few months ago, timing has 10k kms on it.
The timing belt seems ok, well tensioned.
Car tries to start but doesn't. If i massage the acceleration pedal...

Hi guys!

First, thanks for this great forum!

I bought my second PSA car some months ago (C4 GP2 - 2014 manual), and have been working on it since then. Changed all timingparts, aux belt and aux-tensionerwheels. Also changed DMF (flywheel, clutch, releasebearing and main seal) and other good to change parts (CV joints, seals on the gearbox and...

Hi I have a a mk1 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso that is Greek left hand drive. I am in the UK with it and need to replace the ABS module. My mechanic is also struggling to find the info as he says the part numbers on the ABS module have been scratched out. Indicating it has previously been changed possibly for the wrong one! :( It is from 2007 and is...

Hi all.

My 1.9 td Xantia sx s2 has a couple of electrical gremlins.

The heater sometimes stops works for a while. Turns itself on and off during a journey.

The rear electric windows have stopped working. (Checked the fuse (f10) and it’s fine)

I’ve been told that both could be caused by the ignition barrel…

Is this true, if so then why...

Hello,

I have a 2022 Citroen C4 1.5BlueHdi 130 that has water in the rear passenger footwell. Has anyone experienced this and what's the cure? Thanks

Hi. I will check back for replies.

Any info on nearside driveshaft removal might be useful to others too: I've searched online and youtube but nothing for nearside shaft.

The Haynes video on youtube shows drivers side, which is different: theres a bearing retaining clamp that Haynes removes for drivers side.

The nearside looks different and I...

Hello,

Can anyone please advise where the fuel and pollen filters are on a 2022 Citroen C4 1.5 BlueHdi 130? Thanks

Had the c5 X7 on the road for a month now, thought I'd post up my thoughts on what I think of it in comparison to earlier models.

Mine is a 2011 3.0 V6 Exclusive tourer.
It's taking over (potentially) from a 2001 2.0 HDi 110bhp LX estate (that I have fitted upgrades to) and have had for ten years/over 100k miles (>220k on the clock total) and...

Not a call for help, but experiences of those who owned a 1.6HDi engine to a high mileage (16v or 8v).
I am wondering if it is common for these engines to start burning oil if they are pushed too hard?
I'm on my second 16v engine..I've noticed with both that to get to 70mph, I hit a wall so to speak.
My first engine failed on emissions...in the...

Hi All, i really hope that someone can help me.

So to give a bit of history of the past 3 months of my Citroen: I blew my head-gasket 3 months ago. 3 weeks ago after my oil was leaking like crazy i replaced the seals. few days after my cylinder 2 misfires and we discover that the thread on coil 3 has gone. i replace the coil pack with a new one....

I have an intermittent airbag fault which flashes up from time to time, usually when the car is heavily loaded and cornering... Lexia 3 pointed to the side curtain airbag, so I set about replacing it with the one from my scrapper. I removed the one from the scrapper first so I could learn how to do it without worrying about damage, but I knew I...

Hi,

New to the forum - thanks for having me! Sorry if this has already been asked for my vehicle, I have had a search but not turned anything up.

I own a C4 Grand Picasso MkII 2017 reg. The low beam headlight throw is poor to put it mildly - high beams are great. I've adjusted the height of the bulbs using the Allan key adjuster so they are at...

Hi,
I have issues with the electric brake system. When switching off the engine and parked in P the electric brake system is activated but this time it made a grinding noise from the actual system under the car. As I tried to deactivate it it became noisier as it locked on the rear brakes. I managed to use the emergency release in the center...

Hi. does anyone know where the egr valve is located anywhere on my Citroen nemo 2009. 1.4 diesel.
I've looked a little on youtube and google but I can't find anything about this particular engine.

F16 is live
Earth to the socket is good
Light on the socket works (so earth is good)
No power to the red power lead on .... key OFF -- key AC -- car running
Connectors are good, wire seem fine.

Am I missing something ?

My iPhone 11 says it can be charged wirelessly (Wireless charging (works with Qi chargers10)) and the owners manual says the car charges a compatible device. But I don’t seem to have this facility. Should it come with all models, (2023 C4 C-Series)? And how do I find out? Is there something in the settings to activate it?

Hi members, I have an issue with the rear passenger wheel alignment part. This is a torx part that secures the adjustment nuts. One has been damaged as per pictures. Not certain what the part is called or its part number. Do you recognise this part ? MYBE U HAVE A SPARE ONE? I am located in Australia. >>>>>>. Citroen C5 X7 Limited Edition 2014...

Replace the drivebelt for the pump, as the long time squeeling has damaged it.
Then ensure the belt is incredible tight
- nothing like an alternator belt

Hi, I want to buy this size because is more popular and of course cheaper. After some calculations seems the wheel diameter will increase about 9 mm. More comfort should be gained using this size?

Should expect any problem in fitting, could touch something under?

Thanks guys and happy easter!

Hello everyone!
I'm wondering if it's possible to remove upper front bumper cover without removing the whole bumper? Mine is unfortunately broken and I need to replace it. I'm talking about this part on the picture. Also what are OEM numbers of all pins used to secure this part?
Thank you for your help!

Hello to everyone!
I recently bought a c5 tourer 2010 2.0 hdif 136 hp.
It has a sport mode button but it seems that doesn't work the snow mode also. Does anyone knows if this model has a sport mode or not?
Thanks

thx

Hello,
My 2007 Citroen Xsara Picasso had a problem with his fog lights not working, then the stereo stopped working, then the high beam stopped working. The garage suspect the com unit and have the part numbers from it. Their usual trusted suppliers are out of stock with no idea if/when they'll get any back in. Has anyone got details of any...

Hello,

Would it be possible to get the specs for a couple of C5 Xs?

I'm only really interested in confirming which (if any) factory options were fitted to these vehicles if that's easier.

The two VINs are:

I have a citroen c4 grand picasso (2015) which I took for MOT on monday, had lots of work done this year and no warning lights were showing when I dropped the car off,
However when I picked it up it had failed due to airbag warning light on dash (100% wasnt there when dropped the car off!!)
Took the car and had diagnostic run and it is showing...

Hello dear Picasso mk2 enthusiasts :-D
I bought a C4GP 2017 1.2 petrol in Denmark EU back in october 2024 (I know not the best choice 8-[ ), and I have done the following upgrades:

:idea: - Monochrome BW to 12 inch HD screen (from UK 2019 model).
:idea: - Replaced RCC radio with NAC with help from my friend Elo 😊.

Hello,
just refuelled my car and got back to a P Level Low error with a service light on the dash,
I understand from a bit of research that the EOLYS Fluid needs to be replaced which it is booked in on Wednesday however,
how safe am I to drive it, would just be city driving, probably 60 miles? Won't be going 70mph for more than 10 minutes straight...

Hi
Does anyone know it Citroën C4

Hi Guys

I wish im on a right place with this topic. Try to keep it in nutshell.
I built this van literally from scratch valves, timing, etc after a front collision. One + wire grounded, engine bay fuse box burned a bit. (this might be important)

The van is up and running almost fine. I realised injector timing must be wrong as it has a loud...

Does anyone have a schematic for the battery/alternator/ignition part of the vehicle in the subject?
Where do I find in the vehicle configuration (see this post: ) what is the type (amperage) of the alternator fitted?

The case:
For my campervan based on a 2016 model Relay, I have some issues with the leisure battery charging and I want to make...

I have a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso mk 2, 66 plate. I have discovered my front passenger foot well is soaking wet.
This happened on my old mk1 grand Picasso and it turned out that the heater matrix had blown.

It makes sense since the heating hasn’t been operating as efficiently recently.

Would anybody be able to provide the location and part...

I’ve just replaced the battery on my Citroen C4 Grand Picasso mk2, with this one

whilst following the BSI reset guide:

However the start stop function is not working as expected.

Full disclosure, the start stop was not working prior to the battery change. Citroen advised that the old battery was not maintaining its charge, and that I...

Hello all,

I've recently taken on an '08 X7 Tourer that was going for reasonable money (or perhaps it's just a form of madness :lol:)
Engine and Gearbox are sound, but the hydraulic systems doesn't respond to cabin commands and the car is showing Suspension Faulty .

I'd managed to get it home, gently, and I'm getting stuck into resolving the...

Hello guys! I consider to buy 1.6 Hybrid PureTech 225 e-EAT8 aftermarket 2021-2022 and have noticed a lot of cars are sold with little mileage that makes me worry about reliable of this engine. Do you know about any potencial problems right now and future after 50.000-100.000 km? Thank's for any advice!

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here so please forgive me if this point has been discussed previously although I have searched and can't find any information. I own a 2015 Puretech 1.2 petrol DS3. Last week it failed its mot on a faulty ball joint which I have replaced over the weekend. Unfortunately during the replacement I pulled the drive shaft out...

Dear all,

I'd be grateful for a bit of advice please!

Another car parked in my street car has scraped the front offside bumper of my Berlingo Mk3.

As you can see from the photo, the headlight it is not mounted correctly now. It still works. There is a little bit of play but I'm unable to push it back into position.

Do I need something like a...

Hi Guys,
My V6 came finally from the workshop after an engine rebuild, the engine seems ok now, however I noticed the cooling fans (low speed) are starting at a lower temperature (around 86 celsius) than the normal 94 celsius, all temps measured with Lexia and not using the dashboard temp which I'm aware is always lower than the real one ;)
I...

Hi to everyone and nice to meet you in the forum. I would like to ask if it's possible to fit an activa (or a similar with oil temp gauge) speedometer on a xantia x1 series with stock one. Does the car have the appropriate wiring to support the extra oil temp sender and the external temperature sender? thank you very much.

I own a Citroën C4 Grand Picasso MK2 2014, and a few days ago, I got an error message: “Braking system fault: Stop the vehicle.”

I disconnected the battery to reset the computer, but it was unsuccessful. A friend connected an OBD2 scanner and reset an error related to the electronic parking brake motor, after which the system started functioning...

Hi all,
My 2007 C5 seems to be riding too low on normal settings. Scuffing noises over speed bumps etc. The buttons all seem to be working correctly i.e it raises and lowers on command and the fluid appears to be at the correct level. It doesn't look overly low but it definitely sounds like it's scuffing over bumps if I hit them at anything above...

Hope this is allowed: So my C5 X7 that suffered from a catastrophic Dual-Mass Flywheel failiure, is now off the ramps, very happy and quiet and has a lovely sharp clutch!

I have converted it from an LuK Dual-Mass to a STORM STO1057 Single Mass kit - which fits perfectly (It's a 2.0HDi 138 Exclusive from 2009) - yes it's the cheapest kit I could...

Evening all :)

I've just dug my Activa out of a loooooong hibernation. Much longer then I realised it was to be honest.

Does anybody happen to have a sphere pressure chart for the spheres in the Activa?

If it makes any difference, my VIN is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].

I'd also like the specs of the front spheres on the V6 Activa as well as that VIN is...

Does anybody have access to or know what I'd be able to find a wiring diagram that covers the power feed to the suspension pump on my 2010 3.0 HDI C5?

I've just put a new clutch pulley on the alternator. When I started the job the suspension on the car went up too high with no issues. Upon starting the car after doing the...

I have this fault with the fuel cap sensor, or at least I thought it was, I replaced the aftermarket cap with an original, but issue remains, so replaced the sensor, issue remains.

If I disconnect the cap sensor, it shows a resistance of 15.6 with no cap and 0.682 with either of the two caps fitted, and that’s the same on both sensors (the other...

Hi all, I’ve just picked up my new xantia, I’ve been doing some research, I found out about comfort spheres and have some questions.

1. How much more float is there over standard spheres?

2. Where do I actually find them, I cannot find any!

I have a DS3 2011 that I cannot clear the error c1136 steering angle coherence with no other errors on any ECU. I'm really stuck and spent hours this car and now exhausted with things to test.
I have tried many times to calibrate the angle sensor and yaw sensor and test says successful (but clearly isn't). I replaced the yaw sensor, steering...
