Hi! I've just got a new '23 plate DS3 - loving the car, however I seem to have an issue with the Speed Limit Recognition displayed on the dashboard. It would appear that the car correctly reads the speed, but thinks they're showing km, so as I'm in the UK it converts them to miles giving me meaningless speeds. The car is set to the UK and to...

I have a DS4 2011, the heater has decided to only blower hot air out of the passengers side whereas the drivers side still works but only blows cold air.
Both sides adjust the speed correctly, it is just the temperature that is different.

The DS9 car is so rare I probably won't get a response anytime soon but here goes.

Prior to purchasing my petrol DS9 performance line+ (non active scan suspension) I test drove a pHEV Rivoli with active scan for a day, circa 80 miles. The suspension was very good, well unnoticeable really which is how it should be.

On that version there are 5...

Hey,
does anyone know where cabin air filter is placed in new DS4 (2021 and later) and how to change it?
This information is not available in the car manual (crazy).

Would I be insane to buy this?
My head is screaming don't do it because it is an auto and a hydrid.
I think I could get it for €2000 and this is what is tempting me.

Hiya, my friends Ds ds3 has previously been in an accident where the car had activated the emergency braking procedure automatically. Even though the car has been fully repaired it still has this fault. It indicates to take it to Citroen / Ds dealership but they want £125 for diagnostic and then further for the repair .

Hi, my 2013 Citroën DS5 intermittently makes a knocking noise which seems to come from the left front wheel/suspension area. I have had it examined at a wheel and shock place which tightened something but the problem persists. The noise does not seem to be caused by bumps but rather appears when I’m driving at constant speed, neither accelerating...

How can i know what is “changed” on the following recall codes:

Thank you

I've ordered the suspension sensor for my DS5. Thanks Marc for the part code 6224Q5. Hopefully this will stop the directional headlight fault appearing every time the roads are wet. The garage plugged their computer in, it said it was the front suspension sensor. I do have the PSA software on a laptop, was going to check myself but they've saved...

Hi,

I have a ds5 2013 and just had the particulate filter fluid low message pop up.

What fluid is it (lots of conflicting info) and is it a pouch or reservoir?

Any guides on how to do it specifically for my car? I’ve looked on YT and found for a ds4.

Thanks in advance!

It doesn't specifically state Stop Start on it, but does state C2. Also on the back it states ACEA C2; PSA Approval B71 2312 .

I have searched the forum, but couldn’t find anything specific to the ds5.

I’ve got the refill kit, before I waste my time jacking up the wrong side, is it driver or passenger side (uk, right hand drive)

I’m lead to believe they’re at the rear of the car, near the exhaust.

Thanks in advance.

Dan

It might not even be by my car, but my mrs said this was underneath. Looks like a coupling, with a quick release catch.

Isn’t causing the car any harm, but driving me mad!

Hi

Whilst freeing off the adjusters for the rear toe adjustment (not a nice job) I noticed that the handbrake cable is chaffing badly on both sides at the same points, namely the top of the stub axle and then on the rear subframe mount. Are there some brackets that hold the handbrake cable in position? Its very poorly designed if not!!!

Any help...

Hi all

I have an odd issue with my DS-3. The Air Con compressor became seized enough that it would almost stall the engine & lit up the dash with every warning light if you forgot and put the AC on or turned the fan speed all the way off and back on again in which case it would automatically engage the AC.

Anyway 8 months without AC / moved...
