Welcome to the forum. Possibly - there is a problem with the air direction flaps or motors that move them so you can not direct the air over the windscreen. - The drain from the air con could also be blocked so that water builds up in the heater box - with the air con running you should see drips of water under the car from the drain if it is not blocked. - If the anti freeze level is dropping there could be a leak in the cabin heater matrix - if so you would also notice a smell in the car a bit like burnt curry. - inside the car is damp due to rain getting in - check the carpets and under them, also in the boot, for water ingress.

Sounds as if the 50 sticker is a mistake or was already on the wheel before the tyre was put on. Problem you have is if you use the wheel and the sticker is visible then you could have problems if going above 50 and are noticed by traffic police. Can the sticker be removed ? On one of the door pillars will be a sticker with the tyre pressures and tyre sizes - does this give anything different for the spare compared to the other wheels ?

You could try a replacement pressure switch (or checking the wire is connected to it) but it would be better to check the oil pressure using a gauge on the pressure switch tapping. DS3s are expensive but they look nice. Beware of the 1.6 hdi engine since the turbo can fail at a low mileage. Also the petrol vti engines can have problems - our C3 with the 1.4 95 hp petrol engine is good but has always used oil so needs to be kept an eye on. If you search on these engines you will come up with common problems to check.

Possibly the service.citroen site is not available in all countries, we have seen registering is no longer available to a member in Sri Lanka.

Welcome to the forum. I have not driven your car model but on our 2015 C4 I can hear a clicking noise when using the indicators with the engine not running but when running do not notice it. Similarly with the hazard lights the relay can be heard clicking. The noise though comes from the steering wheel area so may be part of the switch unit that is under the steering wheel (comms 2000 unit). If the dealer has other Citroen cars you could check this at the dealer if they try to fob you off. Possibly the squeaking noise is the rear brakes need a service and the brake pads are seized or maybe even worn out. I would not expect a dealer to sell the car though if worn out since there is a long list of checks as part of the Citroen approved used car scheme. Does your car have the air suspension ? Eco mode comes on after the engine is stopped and if continuing to use something electrical such as the doors being left open or the radio on and can take maybe 15 to 30 minutes to come on. 12.35 volts is low and charging off the car or doing a few hundred miles (without lots of starting) should get it higher to around 12.5 to 12.7 volts - if not then maybe the battery is due for replacing. If you have stop/start the battery is expensive, possibly 2 or 3 times that of a normal one so I would get the dealer to sort it/pay.

You can get the Citroen workshop procedures through ebay if you buy the Citroen service box dvds. As an example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/citroen-service-box-1-2014-tis-epcwds/251930181500?hash=item3aa8357f7c There are no temporary fixes for a leak since the refrigerant will be leaked out quickly. It is also illegal to put in fresh refrigerant to a leaking system. Hence before topping up a garage has to do a leak test and then a vacuum check to remove any moisture to prevent internal freezing of the air con system.

Welcome to the forum. How many miles has the car done, is the servicing up to date ? Since the urea (adblue) warning is on it does not suggest much about the seller if they have not already topped it up since the cost is only a few pounds and if it removes the warnings then it would help sell the car. The service light might mean it needs the urea topping up. Note if the urea runs out the engine will be prevented from running. There is likely a separate problem that is causing the eml to come on and the dealer possibly knows what it is since when the code reader is plugged in to reset the eml he will have read the fault code. Ask what the fault code is and then do some checks to see what it means. I would not buy a car with a fault and a dealer should not be doing this either.

If you have not made any progress with this I would try a mesage to our member Simple who has posted a lot of good topics on the Lexia.

Welcome to the forum. It could be a problem with the lock or maybe the wiring. You could try locking the back door latch around a screwdriver instead of the pin on the body to see if it makes a difference which could suggest an adjustment problem.
-
You may need to go to a dealer to have this fixed. Possibly the stop/start system is faulty which I think has a separate battery (capacitor) to start the engine. What voltage did you measure on the normal battery ?
-
It could have the oil level too high. How old is the car and how many miles plus which engine does it have ?

C4 And Samsung Directory Problems
paul.h replied to tonyhoare's topic in I.C.E (In Car Entertainment) Discussion
If the car is much older than the phone then the car technology probably can not handle the latest phones. You could try asking your Citroen dealer. -

I think it is a standard 13 mm af bolt (use 13 mm spanner), probably about 25 mm long. There should be 2 of them if it is the petrol engine.

You can see the Citroen parts diagrams if you register on the service.citroen site as an other professional non emergency services and then as a member of the Citroen Owners Club. Once on the site you can use your VIN (VIS) top left to find your car and then look under mechanical and brakes and you will find the abs pump. You can then search ebay with the Citroen part number. http://service.citroen.com/pages/index.jsp You can click on Filter (to remove it) so it also looks at other C8 models and then you can see if the parts are the same. When the replacement pump is fitted, it might need a diagnostic.

To remove the diagnostics socket cover, I have found if you use a screwdriver at the top edge, push it in slightly where there is a slight cutout at the left and then push the screwdriver down whilst keeping it horizontal, so the cover disengages from a couple of clips. This way I have not caused any damage to the plastics. Our C4 (and our previous one) does not have a light on the diagnostic socket cover. To get on the service.citroen site parts diagrams, do as noted in the previous post and click on register at the top right and then register as an other professional non emergency services and then as a member of the Citroen Owners Club.

Welcome to the forum. How many miles has it done ? It looks as if the dmf (dual mass flywheel) might need replacing. This might be covered by your warranty if the car is not quite 3 years old so should go back to a Citroen dealer for repair.
-
Welcome to the forum. If you use your code reader and look at live data for the inlet and outlet lambda sensors, the inlet one should be constantly switching around 1.0 (which is then used in adjusting the fueling) and the outlet one should be steady. If the inlet is not switching it may need replacing. If the outlet one is switching like the inlet one then the cat needs replacing.
-
What is the OBD cover ? To check the lights you could look at a new car at a dealer and see if the parts are the same shape and have the same fitting points. Maybe then have a look at the wiring and connectors. A dealer can give you the part numbers but you can also see the parts diagrams if you register on service.citroen as an other professional non emergency services and as a member of the Citroen Owners Club http://service.citroen.com/do/changerParametres You may need to select your language first.

Cooling Fan Not Operating - Electric Cooling Pump Fault
paul.h replied to Brian50's topic in Problems and Fixes - C5
On the back of the fan is a relay/control and possibly this is faulty. The part may be 1267J6 but this should be checked using your VIN. As an idea what to look for http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-C2-C3-PICASSO-C4-C5-MK2-Radiator-Fan-Motor-Relay-Resistor-GENUINE-1267J6-/172210405358 To get to it might need the bumper removing since it takes about 1½ hours to replace. -
I thought you had already replaced the o/s motor. Before getting a new n/s motor, try taking the existing one apart to see if the electrics have suffered due to water ingress. Follow the link in here 43. New C5 (X7) front wipers not working properly. Before replacing one of the 2 wiper motors, it may be possible to do a fix to the motor wiring pins - see this topic from c5vtr http://www.citroen-o...x7-wiper-motor/

I do not know what a Citroen dealer would charge for the injectors but the ones on ebay are listed as the right ones for your car and it says are by the original manufacturer Sagem - so they should be ok. Fitting them does not seem to be too much bother and you do not seem to need any diagnostics to code them to the car. If unsure you could start by buying 1 and see how you get on. There seem to be some even cheaper on ebay if you search on the part no. 1984E0.

Is it a normal size wheel and not a space saver ? If so maybe a previous owner has replaced a space saver wheel with a normal steel one and tyre but put the 50 sticker on it.
