French Car Forum

Hey all,

Looking to grab the build sheet for the following VIN number:

VR1**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Could I also get confirmation that this car has the improved battery (?) as there seems to be 2 variants of the car floating around, one with a 206 mile rated range and another with a 232 mile range.

Many thanks!

Hello All,

I recently purchased a 2015 1.2 Puretech from CoPart (I know!) 43,327miles.

The car idles roughly and has a constant stream of Grey smoke out the exhaust.

It appears to have had a new cam belt and the engine appears to have had a good clean with no oil or residue in the boost pipes or PCV pipes.

I have cleaned the camshaft...

Does anybody have fitting instructions for new tensioner and belt. It looks like you just loosen tensioner with allan key then retighten no specials tools is this correct or am i missing something.
Thank Lee

I have a 22 plate DS7 E tense when i got the car it would charge to 31 miles, but after a few weeks this dropped to 28 miles, i spoke to the DS Garage and got told this was normal to get some loss on the charge.

The car continued to reduce in miles when charged over the next few months from 28miles down to 18miles after a full charge, this time i...

Hello

I found this info on foreign forum. Apparently hdi engines got this. When dpf is regenerating, bsi is switching on wing mirrors heating. As usual there is no information on the screen))) unless your dpf is blocked or ..... So I put a diode onto my wing mirror, connected and glued to back side. We will see. If its work and diode start...

Lights on one side not working.... Any ideas?

Can anyone tell me if there fuse box is also in this state, it’s really hard to get in and change the fuses. You can’t even see them! There hidden in the bottom left away from the opening.

Good morning people I have bought a DS5 that had been stood for 12 months (came at the right price) I have noticed that the steering has gotten stiff .

We have two DS7 eTense Ultra Prestige ( so 20” rims ), is anyone else with a similar vehicle experiencing severe rear tyre wear?

We found this article which seems to suggest vehicles with 19” rims are affected but nothing concrete.

Pictures of my tyres after after 9350 miles attached.

Posting this more really as a heads up to other eTense...

Hi

i have a petrol DS9 and happy with it apart from the ride comfort. It's still in warranty. The car is at the dealers at the moment for a warranty repair and I have often moved the conversation onto the suspension which I feel shouldnt be like it is on that type of car. FYI, before buying my car I did try the PHEV DS9 with the upgraded...

Hi don't know if you can help but my DS5 62 plate multimedia control switch has stopped working, the info screen is ok but not responding when using the control switch, could this be as simple as a blown fuse and if so where would I find that fuse, any guidance would be appreciated many thanks Graham

HELP!!

Bonjour,

J'ai un problème avec ma DS3 crossback (opéra de 2019 en diesel 130ch)
En roulant, toutes alertes possibles apparaissent en cascade sur l'écran d'alerte comme sur la vidéo ci-dessous, la voiture se verrouille dès le premier arrêt et il est impossible de la redémarrer... Même le levier de vitesse ne répond plus (plus de voyant...

Hello,

I just bought my first car, a DS7 Opera, I'm a dev and I would like to modify and mess around with the infotainment system and fix a few bugs. Are there any resources available for this? And is there a way to get my hands on the files for the latest firmware version. Just wondering if there are already research/resources instead of...

Hi,

So, I got myself a diagnostic tool (the Otofix D1 Pro, not Diagbox because I could not determine a reliable source to get one) to try to see more information about my car because the previous one I used was not able to see more information about the car.

While looking at the RPM live data (several of them), I reved the car and floored the...

Hey guys,

I'm interested and in the process of planning the acquisition of a new (ideally New, not reconditionned) HV High Voltage battery for my Citroen DS5 Hybrid 4 (2012). I really like the car and its hybrid mode (but especially the design), however, the range is too low, and usually it's a bit too weak. It barely makes about 200 meters on...

Hello everyone,

I am from China and currently drive a 2022 DS9 Opéra Fuel Version. I recently came across information about a recall regarding the tire pressure labels, which initially suggested pressures of 2.4 for the front and 2.2 for the rear. However, the correct pressures should be 2.4 for both front and rear.

My local dealership has...

Hi everyone

I have a 2013 DS4 which went in to another garage to have the slave cylinder on the gearbox changed as it was leaking. No lights on the dash prior to this. After it was done, the service light, ESP light, Stop light and Auto Brake off light are all on the dash. The only fault is in the ABS module and is C1383. This fault will clear but will...

Hi,
I have a Citroen DS3 2010, 1.6. And I have been trying to fix it for nearly 7 weeks but I can’t seem to find the fault. I can’t get into the ECU to reset the codes. It’s had a new battery fitted, two new front tyres, and suspension. I’ve looked into the yaw sensor and the steering wheel angle sensor (no faults with either)

I have lost my...

I purchased a used D5 1.6 Auto 13 reg with some gearbox fault in an auction. The gearbox error code showed up.The previous owner i purchased it off had said it was an occasional problem.

I read the code and it's C1604(95) under TPMS. Any ideas anyone?

TIA

I have a 2021 DS7 Crossback Louvre. The n/s rear light had water in it and I reported it, double figure emails and phone calls later it has failed and now does not work.
I can’t tell you how bad the customer service has been and the dealership are downright rude and obnoxious. I have now been a week without a car with no end in sight.
Apparently...

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...

My DS7 Crossback : The red wrench showed up on the display and the Message Energy Fault - Repair Needed !
The car wasn't able to drive properly, sometimes a little bit with reduced power, sometimes not.

Hi guys!

This my first post on the forum and I need your help!

Today I experienced my first problem with the DS after almost 3 years of ownership

After a long trip (about 1000km) I realised that the passenger door handle was stuck in open position... I'm sure that I wasnt driving with it like that whole trip.

When I push it in and then...

Hi,

I have a citroen DS5 2012 model 2.0 ltr hybrid.

The car has a noisy drive belt which makes a lot of noise when idle and with a bit of acceleration the noise is gone. I have looked at the belt and looks like the tensioner is wobbling.

I am getting this fixed however the car is also got a warning when turning the car on but no engine...

Ok Guys
I f you are running a DS5 with the auto box like I am then it is very important that you change the ATF oil in that box.
This box is supposed to be sealed for life,that is crazy,now this box is a great idea and it does work very well,but it has been designed
to fit exactly where the manual box sits ,of course the reason is economics,it...

I have just purchased a 2018 DS7 with a dodgy fuel cap, I have to pry open the flap to fuel the car, it looks like something is missing as there is what looks like bluetac holding the flap shut. Could someone advise me what is missing or send me a picture of the inside of the filler cap please 🙏 20240422_174216.JPG

I have a DS Automobiles DS5 2016 which has stopped providing traffic alerts. My Citroen dealer has recommended updating the SAT NAV but I cannot see any evidence that that affects traffic alerts. Does anyone know whether there is another reason for these to have stopped (e.g. traffic alerts are no longer provided by the manufacturer, as Honda has...

Hi Guys

First of all, I am surprised that there is such a comprehensive site about french cars.
I'm writing from Turkey, I offer my respects to all of you.

I've been driving 2012 DS4 1.6 e-Hdi MPC 112hp D-Sport for about 3 years.

I was getting this error message very very rarely when first part of a time,I bought the car.

Hello.

I hope I am utilizing this forum space correctly.
I have a Citroen DS5 VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
The Eolys additive needs to be refilled.
I saw on the Citroen service manual that the type of fluid depends on the color of the tank clickfit.
For Blue Clickfit I must use Eolys Powerflex.
For Green Eolys 176 or Infeneum F7995
and for neither...

Hello
Is there any chance to have a list of my car equipment what my version has + what extras where added) via the VIN number?

Apologies if this has been asked before.
I have a 2017 DS5 that seems to have carplay and mirrorlink on it. I know mirrorlink is no longer supported and most cars now have android auto.
Has anyone found any adapter that can plug in that will connect to the mirrorlink and allow me to connect my Samsung S23ultra via android auto?
TIA
Paul

Hi All
Posted a few times over the months about this. I have a DS3 Prestige which is a 2016 but does not have Android Auto or Mirrorlink and I would like it :)

I have noticed that you can now buy these screens that appear to just connect to your phone and they are used instead of your phone.

Does anyone have one of these that owns a DS3? I...

Can anyone tell me what pipe is on the Airbox of a DS3 turbo and where is it going? I want to do an intake on my DS3 and do not know what to do with the vacuum pipe once the airbox is removed.

I have a 2018 Ds3 Performance 210, that has an intermittent staring issue.

To give a bit of history, this might be relevant… last week I changed the coolant and gearbox oil, to do this removed the battery and housing etc for access. On completion the test drive was fine no issues, only odd thing is the start stop actually worked, the first time...

Hi
I have just bought a 2016 DS3 1.6HDI Prestige 120PS, lovely car.
As I understand it, there should (or could) be a possibility that I can get Mirrorlink on it.
Currently it just has the Internet Browser thing and I thought that Mirrorlink was standard (turns out nah).
Anyways, firstly, is it possible to get this? This would save me having to...

Hi everyone, I'm new here so here is my first post.

I have a DS5 Hybrid4. When starting cold, the Zero Emission mode works fine, but after a while, it no longer does. After doing a diagnostic, it came out with P0A82 (fault in the HV battery cooling) and P0A7E (HV battery getting too hot). There are obviously related.

After inspecting at the rear...

Hello,
Today, out of the blue, I got this error for a DS7 eTense, 2020:

Left the car for few hours, but the error is still there when starting the engine. The radar and camera are clean... I did not hit anything..

Warranty expired long ago, so before contacting local DS service, is anyone who had this...

Hello,

I’ve decided to go and check the lens of my headlights because i’m not satisfied of the visibility.

I went to one of the best from my city who reconditions headlights and just gave me the news that the lens are smoked after putting a new xenon bulb.

Looking on the system he told me that he is not sure how everything works there, he never...

Hi, My left rear light has turned into an aquarium once more, despite having all my lights replaced previously. The last replacement was four years ago, and now I'm facing a 650 euro charge for a new unit from DS. I've come across instances where such replacements were covered at no cost. Could anyone share how they managed to get this done? The...

Hi there,
I have an annoying kind of popping noise that seems to come from both front doors seals of my DS5 (of 2011), it looks like a friction noise between highly dried seals and that can be heard only when the weather is dry (never when humid/rainy).
Could anyone help me to solve this issue please?
I was thinking of replacing the front left and...
