Fault U1208

Ok, no problems, pleased this was a simple fix. Just give it a clean with some electrical contact cleaner (don't use WD40 as it can react with the plastics) and check where the water is coming from and you should be ok.

Hello,
I have another problem with the C4 Picasso 2006 1.6 HDI MCP. VIN in the previous post. While driving with a caravan, a gearbox faulty popped out and then the whole Christmas tree. The car sticks to the manual itself and then turns off the engine. After turning the key several times, car starts without any errors. I unhooked the trailer and without it it also appears at random moments while driving. Diagbox shows errors as in the photos. I suspect there is a problem with the ESP. Where to start ?

You've crankshaft and camshaft position sensor faults, most likely a fault with crank sensor. I suspect the others are fall out from the engine ECU losing the plot!

Thanks for help.
Ok, so after checking the error log in the diagbox it confirms that the crankshaft sensor is causing the error chain.

I took the wheel off and got access to the plug. After unfastening the plug, I noticed that one of the sides of the socket was broken. I sprayed everything with a contact cleaner and put it together.

I came back 140 km from my vacation without any errors. After returning, I connected the diagbox to clear the errors. The ones in the photo do not want to be clear. What can cause them? F00 in BSI has been around for as long as I remember. I have already ordered a new sensor.

Update. After replacing the sensor, the faults on ESP and GEP disappeared. Thanks for help.

It may of takes a little while for the ECU to adjust to the new data from the new sensors in order to clear the faults, which you've now done.
