Hello everyone.
I recently bought a Citroen C5 2010 1,6HDI, and got in trouble right away (broken diesel injector and now need to code the new one, occasionally faulty electro-hydraulic power steering pump, locked Webasto-heater,...).
I'm more familiar with old school car technology (pre BUS-era (CAN etc)). This forum has already proved to be a very good source for information and help, when trying to learn to live with these modern (?) cars (bloody computer networks on four wheels ). Hence I decided to join, and also start participating with a little donation.
Next thing to do is learn a bit more about Lexia-clone related things, before buying one.
Yours,
Fin50

Welcome to the forum Fin - is that your name as well as an abbreviation of your country?
Good luck with sorting out your problems. The 1.6 injectors are known to be a bit troublesome but there is plenty of help and guidance here.

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
