Hi does anyone know where the hands free key reader is on a Citroen DS5 hybrid 2013, where to put the key?

Hi can anyone please advise, brake pedal went hard without warning, I’ve replaced servo & master cylinder, recycled the abs pump before each time manually bleed a caliper, in the sequence the diagnostic tool told me to, but pedal still feels there’s no assistance, don’t know if I’ve missed a crucial step or there’s another step to do,

I would be...

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.

I think...

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...

Hello Everyone,

In the trim level documentation, it says that (City Pack) can be purchased for the vehicle and have the front parking sensors and reverse camera setup.

My questions:

Hi everyone

I had problems with a blocked DPF back in late November last year and had it chemically cleaned. I bought a Diagnostic Tool after Christmas and have been checking the DPF pressure every week.

What do you think of my readings over about 3000 miles pasted below?

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.

Net suggested the wheel controls, purchased a set on ebay but no joy, tried the bsi reset and no luck...

Hiya

Got a new (to me) DS3 and wondering if I can get a service schedule for it please?

Vin VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Also wondering if anyone knows if the wet cambelt issue was resolved with my 2019 model? There were issues with earlier models and the servicing interval was brought forward for the first service because of this

I understand its...

Hi everyone I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in right direction. I have a ds3 1.6hdi 90hp over last couple of months I have noticed a slight flat spot when accelerating and sometimes when coming to a stop at traffic lights or a junction the idle is jumpy but clears after about 30secs and then if you accelerate again it will do same again...

Good morning all,

Just a quick post asking what battery should i buy next for the 2012 DS5 (diesel 2.0 160). It is not a start stop one.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Marc

Can you possibly let me know the original DS/Citroen part number for the rear drivers/offside touch-sensitive door handle for my car please. VIN VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]. I think I've spotted a bargain.

Thanks in advance.

Andy

Hello, I had a problem with the belt, as it snapped. I replaced the tensioners and serviced the alternator by changing the bearings and installing a new belt. Now, my car is showing the error message “Check Engine - Repair is Needed,” and after a few kilometers, the belt snapped again.

What could be the cause of this issue? Has anyone had a...

Hi Guys

One of my touch-sensitive door handles is behaving erratically. Sometimes it works fine, then it won't work for a week. There's no rhyme nor reason to it. It's the drivers-side rear which unlocks all the doors.

I had heard that a BSI reset may fix it, but I'll probably stand corrected.

Please let me know if there's an easy fix..

Andy

Driving my 1.5 diesel Ds7 home tonight I experienced what felt like resistence when pulling away, almost as if a hand brake was on or brake were seized. Passenger in the back said they felt a knock sound as I accelerated. My fuel had just gone into the red so I guessed it was low fuel but the problem continued after filling up.

Issue doesn't...

BG: DS3 salvage repair I am undertaking.

Changed seatbelts and airbag ECU, but there is crash data still showing in BSI which I believe someone with Diagbox can clear for me (or I need to remove and send BSI module to be cleared)

Also, digital dash speedo screen was broken so I bought a replacement screen. Fitted but it's just blank. I...

Hi guys,

I've been asked by a friend - could I identify these pins, he's found them in the cylinder head when putting the car back together (the timing belt had snapped) luckily he thinks not too much damage, a couple of rockers had snapped, he can't figure out where they came from, 5 in total 2mm x 25mm I think he said any idea guys, I've not...

Hello,

Been advised by RAC mechanic that I need software update.
After turning vehicle off and on again the message dissapeared and the car drives normaly.

Has anyone ever changed the reverse sensors ECU in the boot and should it work straight away or does it need to be re programmed because I have changed mine and it still doesn't work? Any information please.
Peter

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...

Could anyone tell me how to get to the reverse camera and sensor ECU box that's located in the boot space behind the paneling but how to remove the paneling which doesn't appear to have any screws, any help welcome thank you peter

Hi
Has anyone had the P0113 code on a DS4 Diesel 1.6, 64 plate

I believe it to be a Sensor fault. Am I right in thinking the MAP and IAT is integrated into the 1 sensor.

I recently bought a new sensor, which I think is a fake. As it hasn't resolved the P0113 code and the EML stays on as I then cleaned up the old sensor and the EML did not...

Hi all has anyone looked in the glove box on their DS5 for the fuses ,? I took the little cover off thinking there would be a fuse box because my cigarette lighter has blown but all I could see was a lot of wire's and plugs but no fuses it's a 2012 DS5 hybrid are they different.

I've owned a 2018 DS7 BlueHDI for almost a month - very happy with the vehicle, in fact still smitten!

Today my missus was on the school run and when she returned to the car to start it a message appeared key not recognised . It then went into Eco-mode and the display went off. I had read on this forum about the BSI reset which I tried. As I...

Hi all,
Can anybody help me with the correct coolant for my wife's DS5 please? Its a 2014 2.0 hdi.
Thanks
Barrie.

Hi guys, my heater is not working at all, fans are working perfectly and even the flap when changing to the warm dial makes the sound, so I assume is working as well. The coolant level its above the low. I see there's a few topics about this but none with the actual fix #-o . Any recommendations or anyone had the same problem?

Hi guys!

I just bought a Citroen ds4 2011 from a friend, they have it for the last 7 years, but the last 2/3 years they started having some water dripping from the roof specially during the cold months (they haven used the car much in the last couple of years which it could make the condensation worst) I'm going to attach some photos so you can...

Hi all,

I'm in a bit of a pickle! So I was doing some maintenance on my car and I've only gone and lost a screw down a drain! I've scoured the internet for a replacement and I'm coming up short! It's the 8mm retaining bolt for the ignition coil. I don't suppose anyone has one that I could buy, or knows the part number so that can look one up...

I have received notification that this is now due on my 24 reg DS7 1.5
Dealer says it cannot wait and be done at the same time as the 2nd service in May
Advised it can take a full day, sometimes even longer, to carry out, rather than a while-you-wait task

Has anyone else received notification and had this recall done already on their DS7, or...

Hey all,

My DS5's front left turn indicator stopped working, seems to have a lot of moisture inside. Funny thing is, when it's cold outside, below freezing point the indicator suddenly works :D

To dry it, I tried to pop it out pulling out the small black lid in the corner below the indicator to unscrew the torx screw. But once the screw is...

Hi Marc

Is it possible to let me have a Service Schedule for my car? I have previously posted the VIN for a copy of the Build Sheet.

I'm a bit worried about my auxiliary drive belt to be honest. It's a 2017 car with 25K miles.

Thank you.

Andy

Hi all

Can anyone recommend an Android app that will let me monitor the state of my DPF? (2017 DW10 DS5 2.0 auto) I've had a Google (hours) but it's a bit of a minefield..

Also a handheld devices like the Launch CRP123X V2.0 etc? (130GBPish)

Obviously not interested in spending a fortune but want to keep a watchful eye on it now..

Thanks

Andy

Hi All,
I have a 2014 ds5.
The passenger wing mirror has recently stopped folding inwards/outwards when you lock/unlock the car.
Would I be able to remove the cap to check inside without completely removing the whole mirror from the car?
Any pics or a video would be very helpful.
Thanks.

Good day,

I have replaced my battery and the alternator is working as been tested but the SERVICE, Battery and eco mode lights are on.
