Well done mate!!

Could be the motors that move the various flaps are not working or the flaps might be stuck. A diagnostic should help.

If your air bags have not yet been replaced read this topic

My daughter's previous DS3 with the same engine was sold at 90k miles, was regularly serviced, and she did not ever have that error. Your car has approximately 49k miles, so assuming yours has been maintained adequately and driven sensibly it could well be the sensor as Paul suggests.

Do you found the problem? It happened me the same, when give 12v+ directly to the right side motor everything works. I found a 30A fuse that s not getting current with ignition on. I'm having a bad Time finding the right diagram for my fuse box (BSI?)

One solution might be to get a used radio, they do not seem to cost too much but it will need your car vin putting in to it via a diagnostic or it will keep beeping. One example on ebay but you would need to check if it is correct for your car.

Note also 75W 90 is much more readily available, and lots of reports of it giving an inferior gear change feel on Peugeot Citroen gearboxes (versus the correct 75W80)

I've found that steel workers snips are good for those pinch together connections

You need to read this topic and check if you need the front air bags replacing, if so you are advised not to use your car by Citroen/DS

Thanks for the tip, I truly appreciate it!

I'm taking the car to the mechanic in a few days, so they'll check it out. I'll be back with the results soon!

Hello. Try to put a cable and charge your phone. If yes you have a power in the usb socket. if not well... it will need some dismantling job))

Im currently going through the SERMI process just now in preparation for it becoming mandatory in the UK & as far as i know it only relates to security related repairs & information. I dont think all the details have been finalised yet.
So for example if you want to program a key or code a new BSI as this relates to the immobiliser system you will...

If you fit the same type and rating of battery as is already fitted then there should be no problem. The only wrinkle might be is if a previous owner has fitted a lesser rated battery.

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. From ebay. Is it likely to be a cheap part? Should I have got a genuine one?

Thanks again

Ty for replies. I'LL look at loom

I checked the song with different CD so not that.

Yes like the car don't it nicked

Thanks, but I've already tried that.
The only unlocking option is drivers door only on or off. I've selected off.
Maybe the car is broken.
I've only had it a week and I'm still getting to grips with it.

That’s possible, but I’d be truly staggered if a main dealer would even entertain it as an option to fit customer supplied parts, tbh.

Brilliant, glad it helped.

thanks for your reply, but i found the problem, its an issue in the BSM, i found this thread and its now working

It is possible the car did not have footwell lights when built. If you post your VIN, admin might be able to look up your car characteristics/build sheet to see if it had them when built.

The vin is: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
The wiring looks original and there are cutouts for the lamps, but perhaps
The thing I’m wondering is some have said that it is...

You need CAN bus compatible LEDs.

Do you already know how to remove the gear console? I’m having the same problem.

On your car the eolys fluid might be in a pouch which could be leaking and need replacing.

Thank you It feels right to me, so good to know I can continue using it.

Resetting the trip so fingers crossed

This oil is not as per psa specification. Its for older version of gearboxes. I cant see its even for any PSA group cars..

What you need is AW2 for your gearbox. One of those is RAVENOL ATF T-ULV Fluid which I have used…

I have done 2 manual oil changes, and will do one more in 5k km, as the oil was still not transparent redish..

The replacement part arrived from an online breaker. Easy to see the two catches on the reverse that can be released with the careful placement of two flat head screwdrivers. A very simple straightforward job.

Thanks! Will do 😃

I'm actually using both keyless and the DS app, perhaps that's the issue?

My car is the ICE 225hp version, non PHEV.

Having enough pressure is not the same as having enough refrigerant, there is a chance it may still need a regas but see what the diagnostic shows.

Well done mate!

i have also identified that only one of the four rear pads is badly worn which suggests that the slide mechanism on one side isn't sliding freely......

Typical result of modern servicing, they just service to the manufacturers guidelines, they don't do any preventive maintenance, unless specifically asked. There was a time when garages would...

Same problem sensors not working, blind spot. Only the camera goes

Hi there

I think you are right that front and rear are interchangeable. I've got a DS5 and looking at mine I can see no difference at all, the key bit doesn't matter as it's seperate.

I had the same problem with my right (drivers side) rear, it was intermittent and it's the one that unlocks the whole car which was annoying.

I found this on...

Ok, so I attempted the oil change today. Went and bought the 8mm square socket the realised it wouldn't fit inside the sump plug because of the subframe (thanks Citroen for the clever design!). So I went back to the shop and bought a wrench instead. Still doesn't fit and seems like the only way would be to remove the bolt from the bottom engine...

It was not official DS or Citroen dealer. Not so problematic of having lower specs filter, as long as it is actually new and changed. Just wanted to see if anyone has experience with the eurorepar numbering, and verify if those numbers implies that filter is from y23, which implies that it has not been changed, and me paying for something not done.

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, so please be kind :-)
I recently bought a used DS5 (2017 2.0 Prestige model) and I notice there is a door bin light (red) in the drivers side, but no visible light on the passenger side. I haven't seen any documentation for the door bin lights, in the user manual or online. Hopefully it is an easy fix for the...

I have bought some of this channel but does nor fit to base of mirror due to shape/contour of base of mirror.

Never mind I found the issue I tested the connector and turns out 3 of the wires where still broken so I repaired them and all gone thankfully, 👍😊

....Hm, Haynes says 2.0 - 2.2 L. Should probably go with that :-) /tka

update replaced the ecu fuse box bsi and ignition all working now engine isnt bouncing around no more apart from keep getting
p0087 p0171 again ive replaced the relevant things and still popping these codes up but still runs fine apart from management light keeps coming on could be down to faulty parts of course running out of ideas now.

I've also looked into the fuse box in the glove compartment today and, although very tight, I can just make out the following locations are empty:

F20
F30A
F30B

There is also a blank fuse location at the top row of 8 fuses, the last but one from the end. But I can't see a number next to the fuses on this row. There's limited information online...

It's the bit that is like a finger grip that is at the rear of parcel shelf and central.
There are three holes in the parcel shelf where it should sit.

I would think regulator needs replacing, seems to be a common fault, not expensive to buy and reasonably easy to change

Thats most likely original one, so around 12 yrs.

Just to clarify, if your cars system is an earlier version of mine, it will have three batteries, traction, 12v for lights and another(48v?). The engine charges both the one under the bonnet and the third one via an inverter.
That's hell of a long time, I think you need to find it and get it...

Don't know about apple car, but android auto thru the speakers sounds awful. Better over bluetooth or usb stick. Distortion when you have a dedicated amplifier will be much less than using non focal setup. I replaced speakers for a focal one, but don't have amp and bass box. Sounds exactly the same as original speakers.. My friend has a focal with...
