My rear brake pads and discs are significantly worn according to the garage. Car has only done 22k miles much of it on motorway and still on original tyres.

Apparently the front pads and discs are fine.

Is there a front/rear brake bias adjuster fitted to the DS7 and if so where is it and how do you adjust it?

Could you please tell me where the live feed fuse is located for the reverse sensors on my DS5 hybrid4 because they are completely dead and the diagnostic say's open circuit which I take is a fuse or relay or a broken wire but the switch behind the steering wheel is also dead and doesn't light up as it should, Peter

My driver's door handle has never done the hand-sensing unlocking or locking. I've found a few knocking about online, used and painted the right colour.

I'm thinking if I buy a driver's door one from a scrapyard there's a good chance it will already be worn out. But perhaps the back right one might be less worn on most.

I know the front has a...

Just crashed my car into a lamp post! I need a wing, bonnet and bumper. As it's a early 2015 model just wondering if later cars parts fit or if parts from a citroen ds3 would fit? Struggling to find anything from 2015 cars.
Any help appreciated!

I'm currently planning on changing my driveshaft and I was hoping to change the transmission oil in the process as well. I can't seem to find the right oil for this though. A few people recommend the Total BV 75W80. I've been on the Total website and the recommendation is TotalEnergies TRAXIUM GEAR 8 75W-80. I've also found the Comma EP75W-80 Plus...

Hi all,

Got a rattle that seems to be coming from the engine bay, it's not major but now I've heard it I can't unhear it

Had the bonnet up and I think it the silver air con pipework on the left hand side of the engine as I look at it

Looks as though there are two black clips that hold the pipes but they have worn and broken possibly

Can these...

Hi all,

A few days ago I drove over a small curb with the rear right wheel of my car (DS7 E-Tense), and whether it's a coincidence or not, a Christmas tree of warning lights appeared on the dashboard. At first, I thought the batteries were dead and I even replaced them, but the errors didn't go away. I'm attaching the codes from the diagnostic...

Washed my car at the weekend using a hose and noticed afterwards that some water had made its way into the passenger side rear light. I called the dealer and it's a known issue and the subject of a notice issued to dealers by DS. It's being replaced under warranty next week while I wait. A 30 minute job, apparently.

If anyone else has the same...

Hello all,

We all know about the rusty door mirror problem on the DS3, but was there ever a gasket made to put between the mirror base and the door to prevent it, or has anyone tried to make one?

The reason I ask, is because I am looking to buy a DS3, but am reading the horror stories, and have been to view a few of all different ages, and they all seem to...

Hi,

Can anyone tell the quantity of oil to fill on the MCP (piloted manual) gearbox after drainage. It only drained off 1.3 L which seems very low.

However my manual states 1.9 L for gearbox casings 'with fins' and 2.6 L for casinghs without. I can see no fins on my gearbox casing. - Also on the Internet I see some stating 2.1 L for the PSA...

Hello, does anyone know which fuse location the Wireless Charging Module (part no. 9813403280) is in the DS 3 Crossback e-tense? I've had a look in the manual but there's no mention of this in the fuse diagrams they show.

I'm assuming it's because the module is an optional extra and the manual only includes the main fuses. Thanks for any help.

Hi all....
Does Anyone know if this is something I can buy from somewhere?
It's annoying me so much that mine is missing and would love to resource a replacement 🙏🏻

Hi all. I have recently purchased a 2013 Citroen DS4 1.6 HDI. Since purchased the drivers window doesn’t go down, when the switched is pressed for down I could hear the motor click, I have replaced the entire window regulator (with motor and not genuine) but it appears the issue still occurs. I have connected the old genuine motor to the door loom...

The other day, the check engine light came at the dashboard at the minute after starting the car. I immediately turned it off, but the fan stayed on like when the car is over heated, but the car was totally cold. Today I checked with my OBD scanner and got error codes P1337 which apparently it's a misfire on cylinder 1 and P1050, no idea about...

Hello, I need to remove the center console in order to fix the port of the wireless charging.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work, I press it in order to lock but it keeps opening, it doesn't lock.

If anyone has any video or tip on how to remove the center console, I would really apprecate it, i wouldn't want to harm it or brake any clip.

Thank you...

Hi All,

I have a strange fairly quiet creking noise when first driving from cold. The noise goes away after 5-10 minutes but is very peculiar.

I have recently changed wishbones, lower ball joints, ARB bushes and drop links. Wishbones were knackered so changed the other bits whilst at it. Got rid of a horrible squeak caused by ARB bushes but...

I’m having an issue with the driver’s side mirror on my DS5. When I try to fold it, the mirror starts to move but then stops immediately. It seems like the mechanism is attempting to fold the mirror, but it gets stuck or doesn’t complete the motion. Has anyone experienced this before or know what could be causing the problem? Any suggestions would...

Hello, I have a 2021 DS 3 Crossback e-tense (prestige) and there's no Electric Menu button on Dashboard and I can't seem to locate electric menu related settings or info within the settings either. Does anyone know if this feature should exist on all e-tenses or was an added extra? Or if I can access the electric menu another way? I've added an...

Hello, I'm a new owner of a DS 3 Crossback e-tense and I'm trying to locate service parts in a way where as a customer I can see exploded parts diagrams. I've noticed the parts thread on this forum and by coincidence I think it is currently out of service due to a subscription problem as the PSA group and Stellantis update their systems.

Hi all. Just joined and seeking some advice and opinions.

My partner brought a 2017 DS3 1.2 Petrol. After a week it has come up with a fault. Quick scan at the garage showed low oil pressure. Mechanic looked under the oil cap and said the wet belt is flaking and that its debris is probably the cause of a blockage.

He quoted for replacing the...

Hi all I have a ds3 Crossback performance line which has the 7inch display, is it possible to change this to the 10inch display and if it is what do I need to do

I made a short video how to make a dynamic oil change applicable for automatic transmissions Aisin AWF8G30, PSA ATN8, AXN8 and EAT8.
For each change you will need 4 L of AW-2 type transmission oil.
There is no need to reset Automatic gearbox oil wear counter with Diagbox because on these transmissions oil live is not couted i.e. counter is always...

Hello,

from the very first day I am annoyed about the poor light of my DS5. I have tried different bulbs, with little improvement. I even had some LEDs which were pretty good, as long as it was not raining. Compared to the C4 of my wife, with the same new brand-name bulbs, the light is worse. I had the headlights adjusted in the shop 2-3 times....

Evening,

Purchased a 2015 ds3 which has been fine the last few weeks since buying it but the dipped beams randomly went out and wont come on except when disconnecting and reconnecting the battery but only for about 30 seconds then turn off.

I've almost come to terms with DS5 ownership after 16 months. I tried a 2.2 l Jaguar XF at the weekend and was completely underwhelmed.
It felt dated and sluggish, even though it was the 190bhp version rather than the 163.?
It was fairly nice and reasonably specced, but it didn't fold its'self around me and whisper buy me now !
OK, the reason I...

Good morning all,
