I recently bought a Citroen C5 Aircross 1.6 PHEV from 2023. I really like the car, however, I noticed that in the city the fuel consumption is very high. In hybrid mode with an empty battery the average of about 80km with a calm drive is 9.6l/100km. For comparison, dynamic driving is as high as 11.3l/100km. Should the fuel consumption be that high?

Just reposting, so more people could get informaiton :)

Hi ! I just recently got the C5 AirCross 2018.
As I try to instal firmware update 44.07.33.32 my car tell me « incompatible version with the hardware »
My car is already on V.42.03.33.42
On the app it tell me I can update the firmware and the map
Is this a bug ?
What should I do ?

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase 2019 C5 Aircross with the famous wet-belt, which has been replaced. Apart from it, what else is there too watch out on it?

How is/were your experience with it?

Ds3 1.2 puretech 110hp

Wondering if anyone can help. This year I took it upon myself to learn how to rebuild engine after discovering broken piston on car.

Managed to get it all back together and got car through MOT.

Driving back I had warning light and codes for low oil pressure.

Suspected oil solenoids was problem and left car to sit for a month before getting solenoid today.

Started car up to test today and now have a new knocking noise that wasn't there before.

The other suspect of the oil pressure would have been me reusing the journal bearing on the big end of piston I replaced.

Does that knocking sound like big end going?

i have a 2014 citroen ds3 1.6 petrol (turbo) and every few seconds the orange service light appears, not the spanner, the word service. also a message saying “engine fault: repair needed” pops up. i genuinely don’t know what it is, the car isn’t behaving differently at all either.

I think its kinda cool

I have a 2013 1.6hdi 92 hp citroen c elysee. I suspect the rubber supports for the intercooler are toast and need replacing. Never done that before, and to reduce wasted time: is it easier to take the intercooler from above or drop it from below?

Also, what other things usually cause noise in old hdi engines?

Please help

Will a Citroen c1 be safe to drive from Bristol to Manchester if the catalytic converter amber light is on. It’s not flashing. My friend reckons it will be fine, but I’m not sure. It previously came on when we drove to Coventry and we got back fine.

Hello,

I searched far and wide and haven’t yet found a nice image (without rust and high def) of a phase 1 xm vin number on the body. Does anyone have an image like that? It would help a lot :) old french forums have yet to come up with anything so far… lots of dead links etc. I’m struggling to find it on this pretty mint xm I want to buy and the car brochures of the xm which i have doesn’t even have a picture of it.

I know that it rusts heavily but I read somewhere that you can find it elsewhere on the car too… Local car wreckers said that the VIN is only found in one place however in the engine bay. This would save me a lot of hassle thanks ^{_^}

Hi all,

I have a Citreon C3 2012 and I only got the manual key with it. Whats the cheapest way to get a remote control key for it?

please advise.

Hello, (I don’t know if this is the right subreddit, if it is please excuse this!), I have a citroen C4 from 2010 (type: CITROEN C4 I (L) 1.6 VTRI 16V (LC5FW) 1598 ccm 88 KW / 120 PS) and looking for somebody in or near Berlin, Germany who can help to activate the aux input for the standard built in RD4 radio (type: Bosch CM RD4 N1 MP3 - 03).
It’s my first car and with help of my family a bluetooth audio module as shown in this youtube video (Install Bluetooth Audio Module on Peugeot & Citroen Radio RD4, RD45, RD43) was installed.
Sadly after installation I found out that my family’s car repair shop can not activate the aux input with their diagnostic car tool, so I need to find someone with a lexia, diagbox or PP2000 diagnostic car tool.
I went to an citroen car dealer in Berlin, but they said the activation costs 70€… :( the car is already old, so I think this is too pricey for this car. :(
Do you know a place or someone in/near Berlin where I can get a cheaper activation?
I appreciate all your help. thanks in advance!

Does it make sense to buy a citroen ds3 2013 with 77k milage? I think cambelt hasn't been changed
