Hi, I’ve been looking at the topscan device for issues with m 2008 C4 Picasso. I have a basic OBD reader that doesn’t pick some issues up and was wondering if anyone had this device. I’m currently trying to track down an issue with the locking system and an airbag warning light. Will the topscan read these codes and if possible could i use it to...

Hi All,

New member but after some advice if possible...

I purchased a (cough) Vauxhall Vivaro Life a couple of years ago new. I know these things are mechanically identical to the Traveller/Spacetourer, so I've come to the experts as opposed to a Vauxhall forum 😄

The vehicle was sold as a 177bhp, with my V5C showing the max net power as 130kW....

After my battery discharged and jump started it,the blower as stopped working. I looked on utube but no help. Also the voltage stability module fitted on the front of the top of the battery is also faulty! Could this be a cause of no blowers. Thanks in anticipation

Hi all, so what i have here im pretty sure is a clone. Ive owned it for quite a while and use to use it a lot for a 2001 Citroen Saxo. I was pretty much able to do most thigs. However im so out of touch with were lexia 3 hardware has gone. Ive provided below as many clear photos as possible to help you hopefully identify if it is a clone, and if...

Hi,

I have an issue with the windscreen wipers on my Peugeot 508 RXH, 2014.

The right wiper does not extend more than half way up the wind screen. The left wiper apparently works as it should, however diagbox gives fault code B11B0 71 Wiper Control Mechanics Fault on the left wiper. There are no persistent fault codes on the right wiper or the...

Hi, as a new member please don't judge my ignorance. I have a C4 Grand Picasso 1.6TD semi automatic on a 61 plate, I only have 87500 miles on the clock. My problem is this on 8th June I had an injector 3 fault. The RAC mechanic came to my home and replaced the injector. However uit still diagnosed an injector 3 problem. May be a faulty injector I...

I have problem with my interface. Everything was fine and worked perfectly until I installed Scan XL pro 3.5.1 and Touch Scan 2.16.3 for other interface (OBD)

Now when I plug interface USB to computer green light flashes for two to three seconds and I get message on the computer that usb is not recognized, and the green light disappears..

I have a fully chipped & working Diagbox interface, as I now have a C5x, is it worth keeping, is it compatible and will I be able to get the correct software for my Laptop?
Thanks in advance

Technically the car is not french but engine is renault after all, so please forgive me.

Qashqai 2012 1.6 Dci high mileage (over 200k), first realised there is a problem when car started stuttering slightly on the motorway. Eventually it stalled while driving off in a car park. Error P0488 EGR - throttle position control - range/performance...

Hi all,
Got a puzzling one for me and I'm really hoping someine can help me.

So, a few months ago I brought a second hand van. On the way home I noticed black smoke from the exhaust and then when I got onto the motorway the engine light came on and I entered limp mode. I went to the garage the next day and the above codes were given where I was...

Good evening, dear forum members!

I'm driving Citroen Picasso II 2017 (1.6 BlueHDi 120HP) VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
The car has been acting up lately (ABS error on 3600rpm, high consumption ~15l/100km, knocking in engine sometimes).

I was at my local official dealer here in Latvia (Andre Motors) and the guy there told me the car might need updates....

I've browsed a lot of videos and posts showing how to reset DPF Fluid after filling up, but after 3 hours in diagbox I just can't seem to get past this error in the attached screenshot. This error comes after entering the number of grams i've added to the tank. I assume there's another value I need to add somewhere first such as mileage, but can't...

Hi Guys!

First of all thanks for the help!

Before I describe my problem, I got a C5 X7 (2011) with the Philips Hifi System and currently no sound.

Through the recent months my soundsystem randomly stopped working. It started in the beginning of the year then the intervall between not working got shorter until it fully stopeed. So I obtained a...

Hey everyone, was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this... 2011 DS3 1.6 HDi 110BHP, 118K

I seem to keep having an Engine Fault: Repair Needed message come on the dash whenever I accelerate hard which puts the car into limp mode. Plugging it in gives me the code P0100: Quantity of air above the maximum threshold.

That message makes it...

I'm back on fault finding the cause of thick white unburnt fuel smoke during regen on my 2014 2.2 Boxer campervan.

Something I've noticed on the air intake 2 page of diagbox is the following parameter:

Status of the activation of the correction due to the oxygen sensor - Inactive

This parameter is always inactive during normal driving and...

Hi all!

Is there a way to check the genuine total mileage for the 2005 C5 through Lexia? In our country, it's an everyday practice to lower the mileage of any older (or newer, if they are high mileage) car to an eye-watering 200000 km.

I bought mine two years ago with around 220000 km, but I doubt it was that low mileage for a 2005 car. I mean...

I ask dear members to help me solve this problem
My car is a 2002 Citroen C5
Sometimes the check engine light comes on, and the engine begins to vibrate and make noise, and the number of engine revolutions does not increase when pressing the accelerator pedal, and the message “Anti-pollution Fault” appears with a significant decrease in the...

When I close Diagbox I don't get the question Do you want to save a report? I used to but lately I haven't. I have looked and can't see how to do this.

All the saved reports are from sessions several Months ago

Dear users,

Diagbox and external scanners indicate 2 two constant errors that I can not deal with. They are U1F00 00 and U1218 81.
These errors do not affect engine operation and there are no warning lights on the dashboard.
In addition, Diagbox does not recognize the ECU version. I am convinced that this is related to above errors. There must...

Hi, is there any site where I could download the 7.57 update for diagbox? Most updates I have found are either 7.57+ or paid.

Hello All 👋

I’m hoping that the forum could help with ongoing issues I have with my C3 Picasso.

It is a 2011 1.6hdi 110 manual (8v engine) exclusive it’s done 52k miles. We got it when it had done 28k miles and previously we had all four injectors replaced at 35k miles when it started to cough on long journeys that would put it into limp mode,...

Hi,
I'm looking for a friendly 'lexia' owner near me (HD9) to clarify gearbox problem .
Had the car a year (2012 C3 Airdream) and had the issue twice, in slow moving traffic. Resolved after engine left to cool.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks

Hi guys,

First post here, but I couldn't find anyone with the same issue, so I decided to create a separate post about it.

I'm driving a lovely 508 Feline 2.0 HDi 180 sedan from 2015 and everything was fine until I decided to partially replace the oil in the EAT 6 automatic transmission. Before that the gearbox was changing gears at very low...

Hi there, does anyone know which diagbox version is required for the C5 Aircross?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been following some posts on this forum and others regarding the Citroen C3. When I first purchased the car it was working completely fine, after about a week the car started showing strange symptoms. It would just randomly cut out during driving, it would cut out a lot more when the car was hot. After a day or two of this, when...

So it looks as though I have found a decent C5 Tourer here in France so I'm having a look around for any workshop manuals in English - most of what I can find is of course in French LOL
It doesn't appear that Haynes ever produced one for the Series 2 so is there anything else available either in print of downloadable?
Also, what is the best...

Hello Folks,

I've had this computer for years that has been working, however I tried to connect to a newer C4 Vactus and was experiencing problems, so attempted to Offline update it. I've now got the error as seen in the picture. Please advise on how I fix this. Thanks

Hi All
I've replaced valves guides, due oil consumption on my C5 2011 1.6 156hp at professional garage.
After a few Km I felt that the power of the car is not as it was - became worst and a warnning engine lamp turned on.

Hello. I have done lots of research on diagnostics kits and was just about to buy Diagbox 7.57 with Lexia 3 when I read the warning posted on this forum by GiveMeABreak.
All I want to do is clear fault codes and understand, as far as possible, what is wrong with my car before going to a garage. Mileage on my 2012 Semi-auto Berlingo is 47000. I...

Afternoon,

As the title really. Couldn't spot anything in the sticky section?

Am looking for general advice on checking whether the software is installed correctly and no firmware or driver issues please.

Lexia was working then petered out. Neighbour gave me his head unit but hadn't used it in so long that he couldn't remember which software or...

I have a 2011 Berlingo Multispace with the 1.6 8v DV6C 115 bhp engine.

On Saturday i went to the shop, got back in and turned it on and it threw up its EML and started misfiring. The fault code reader said P0265 - Injector 2 Control. Short-Circuit Between Two Wires

This morning it has done it again this time it was injector no4, P0271

I have had luck one or two times with disconnecting the battery then starting with no faults appearing only to come back later....

Hi all,

I have sadly bought into a bit of a turkey of a Boxer. Drove fine on the test drive, however airbag light was on. Seller assured me it was just an ABS sensor. It was cheap enough for me to take a gamble, however ive plugged my friends scanner in and the list of codes is...impressive shall we say :rofl2: I think the tackle the problem...

Hi folks
Hit a bit of a snag with the wife's car. Had to disconnect the battery while doing some work on the car last week.
After finishing the work I discovered a problem, which I can only assume is caused by incorrect disconnection of the battery, in turn causing a corruption of the BSI.
The problem is, whenever the car is locked using the fob,...

Have PP2000 on XP which works, and also have Diagbox 8.55 on W7 x86 which works, and even a 9.150 on W7 x86 which works.

Now I have bought a token, as I have to update the car's firmware, and have therefore downloaded Diagbox 9.146 POI from the service box.

I have tried to activate PP2000, 8.55 and 9.150 with service code, without success, and...

Hello,

Hello, I have a 2019 308 diesel with an EAT8 automatic transmission, due to a fault I had to change the gearbox transmission control module (TCM p/n:9831606080) and I can't get the car to recognize it. I have Diagbox 9.91 on Windows 11 64bits but the telecharger or telecoding does not respond as it should.

Hello.
I bought a new battery to replace the old one in a Citroen Spacetourer (bus, 2019). Had I known before all the hassles, I would have it serviced in a car workshop.
I have already managed to phisically install it thanks to this post:

Now I have to get the Start/Stop back working, so I was considering Givemeabreak's post on 'BSI reset':...

Hi guys, I just headed out to the shops and the windscreen had just cleared then I started hearing a clunking like the fan was getting stuck, it got worse and I could feel it through the steering wheel. I went straight home and checked under the bonnet, no leaks or anything, turned engine on with no heater and everything was fine. I then...

I have a 2018 Boxer which has had a problem about an year ago, the temperature gauge was up and down, coolant was leaking and the heater didn’t blow hot.
My garage, who have been very good before, replaced the water pump and all was fine.
A couple of months ago the coolant started leaking again and the heater stopped...
