Hi all, looking for some help, I just purchased a 61 plate DS3 diesel. When first driving the car the fuel gauge was upto the 3rd line and I decided to put £25 of diesel in it. After that the Iines disappeared and it was displaying the fuel as to low on dashboard. After a few days I put £20 in it which took the diesel gauge only upto 3 lines which...

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

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...

Hello all,

Good to finally see a DS forum. I couldn´t find it anywhere else.

I have a DS7 crossback since April 2018 and I am very happy about it. It drives great and especially the lights and the inside interior is more than excellent.

I would like to exchange experiences with other users.

Till soon.

Hi Everyone. I received my new DS7 on Monday
I ordered a factory fitted towbar as an optional extra. It wasn't easy trying to find any information on this prior to ordering and even just to find out if it was detachable was difficult enough. Even the dealers were struggling to confirm or find info on it. Anyway it was confirmed as detachable,...

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¨?

Hi everyone. New user here!

I am considering the DS7 for my next car. I’ve notices some have chrome fake exhaust trim and some have black plastic. From research it seems the petrol models have chrome while diesel just have black plastic. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? If so is it possible to spec the diesel with chrome as it’s a diesel...

I have just bought the new 2018 DS7 to drive to my place in Alps and have discovered that normal snow chains cannot be used on my car. I have been told that ladder tread chains can be used but I am not sure which ones can anyone help? I need chains for France?

Hi iv just got my ds5 today and just gone to put my window screen cover on and its to small I used it on my 3008 anyone know where I can get the correct size please

So I've just bought this DS4 and it seems to have a rather odd exhaust pipe... Is this some sort of upgrade? I've looked online at others for sale and can't find any with a visible exhaust pipe.

The car is a 1.6 HDI 110.

Hi guys,

First question - and excuse my ignorance, isn't a DS classed as a Citroen? I just notice there is a Citroen section and a DS Automobiles section - is this because although its a Citroen they are quite different?

And my main question :)
