New PSA Heritage Parts for Classic Cars

by GiveMeABreak » 11 Oct 2019, 16:18 » in Citroën

First post

Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

This may be of interest to Members with older vehicles where getting parts is a struggle and for those not already aware of the site.

PSA are embarking on a project to provide some supplies of original and re manufactured parts for older vehicles and classics, and have made it a...

Last post

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

Okay, so the ambient lights are only supposed to be subtle. They really only come on at night time with the main lights on to provide a very faint background light, so as not to be obtrusive and affect the driver. I know there is an adjustment for the rheostat lighting on the dashboard, usually controlled via one of the stalks which dims or...

Hello all, just got my ds7 ultra prestige 180 on an 18 plate. Had it a day and three lights came on engine fault, ad blue and the spanner. Would these all be linked to just the Adblue being low? Disappointing that the dealer should’ve checked the levels / topped up and reset computer etc. They’ve been to collect my car and gave me a courtesy car...

Last post

If it was a dealer then their procedure is to evacuate the current contents of the Adblue tank and then refill with a measured amount so it wouldn't matter if the warning wasn't showing.

A dealer will empty a full tank before refilling. They did it to me at a service despite me specifically telling them I had just filled the tank up.

Where is the sensor for the wipers when on auto. They seem to be very erratic on my ds5. Sometimes I have to cancel them as they are going at full speed with almost no rain and more dangerously at times they are almost the slowest intermittent during heavy rain. Sometimes off and on brings them back correct but seems very ineffective.

Just a warning, no level indicator Colin, which is why they tell you how far you can go once it comes on. Same as there is no DPF additive level - just the low level warning, that gives you ample time to top it up.

You have to carefully consider anything you read on the Internet!

Is it normal for the wipers to not work until you turn them off and then back on after turning the car off? What i mean is the rear wiper for example is set to work on the intermediate , you turn the car off and when you turn the car back on it is not working. The wiper dial needs to go back to the off position and then back to...

Yes - and worse when you have a frozen screen - that could easily destroy your wiper motors quite rapidly and tear all the rubber off the blades. Perfectly sensible and I can just image all the posters complaining about damaged wipers and motors if what you are suggesting was the case Panos.

Indicators stalk end buttons

Hi all.

I’ve trawled the owners guide and may have missed this. I’m curious, the end button on wiper is for the info screen but what is the end button on the lighting stalk for??

Thanks

Yes - for your vehicle / Telematics System.

On the C5 X7 with Navidrive 3D fitted, it has other functions such as:

Update the list of Radio stations received.

Handling

by Neilied » 26 Oct 2019, 11:34

First post

Had the car a month or so and had to take it back as there was a funny clunk when turning the wheel. Felt only through pedals though. They diagnosed ARB and replaced. It helped but still this clunk. Also now at low speed full lock it seems to go over on itself almost like a slow mo understeer. The steering is feeling very implanted and skittish...

Last post

Thanks for all replies. After having an alfa Gtv v6 for sometime, I’m savvy with wishbone issues and the clunk knocks and tramlining. ( front wishbones on the alfa were almost biannual replacements), this feels a little bloated wallow kind of feeling and the clunk more a boing although they have said the springs were checked.

DS5 - a couple of questions

by p4n05 » 10 Oct 2019, 11:28

First post

Good morning all,

As per the title i have a couple of questions.

1) How quickly does your engine heat up? After driving around for around 20mins it is still not at optimum temp. Any ideas? Is the thermostat stuck? If so where is it in a 2012 DS5 2.0 HDI?

2)Rear demister; does the top rear window work? When i turn the rear demister on the main...

Last post

That’s because the aerial is incorporated into the screen panel (like screen printing) so that’s why you can’t see it. You may see fine elements in the panel, that’ll be it.

DS4 heater blower not operating. Plugged a new blower resistor in. Nothing. However metal work on resistor touched chassis, blower burst into life. Can anyone explain. Motor doesn't seem to be getting negative supply. Can't source any wiring diagrams.

Excellent - well done and thanks for the update - will certainly help others in future :-D

In the UK, these are the colours currently on offer:

For me it would have to be Andradite Brown or Byzantin Gold - but they are all really nice colours.

Hi All,
I've attached a list of fuse allocations for the fuses in the glovebox.
It isn't complete but I thought it might be useful & handy, also if anyone out there knows the missing fuses, please let me know and I can update.
P.S.: I need to know the location for the fuse for the front passenger electric seats as I think mine has blown, so if...

Thanks Marc,
I’ll have to look for it when I’ve got a day free.

DS5 Reverse Camera

by p4n05 » 17 May 2019, 10:40

First post

Good morning all,

The rear view camera on my DS5 (2012 model) is great in the day but quite useless in a dark carpark or in the evenings. i have replaced teh reverse lights with LED ones as well as the numberplate ones but still not much luck. Has anyone done anything to resolve the poor quality issues?

Many thanks

Panos

The rear bumper has to come off to get to the wiring as it's built into the bumper not the tailgate. Also the rear undershield deflectors to get to the securing bolts of the bumper.

Maintenance due in XX weeks - get rid of it

Hello,

Anyone knows how to get this warning in the display away that says every time I start the car ¨maintenance due in XX weeks¨?

Another related question: Am I obliged to do the maintenance with the dealer? They said it was necessary to keep the 2 year warranty... But as I only drove 9.000 KM in my first year, I don´t really feel like...

For your 2013 year it was with Citroen - but it doesn't really matter they are the same group, use the same parts and systems. Just check the pricing though from both - DS may well add a 'premium' to their serving charges. If so, go to Citroen as the DS5 was marketed and sold by them until this year at least. I suspect your front grille also has...

DS DS5 Rear windscreen washer not working

by Edmund » 10 Oct 2019, 18:21

First post

:shock: Does the DS5 (2015>) have a separate pump for the rear windscreen washer? Mine isn't working, front washer is fine.
Where is the pump located and how do I get to it and/or check for blockages in the tube? (No Haynes Manual for these cars)
It will need remedying before the MoT and Citroën have quoted me £285 :shock: for parts and labour. I...
