If you do not have a copy of the Haynes manual, have a look at the link in post 13 here http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/8163-haynes-manual-for-c5/

Welcome to the forum and thankyou for your help on this topic.

Welcome to the forum. Using the button on the end of the wiper stalk on Citroens usually changes the trip computer screen between current mpg, average mpg since the last reset, miles left in the fuel tank at the current mpg, distance since the last reset. It will be km if selected using the radio menu. Holding the button in will reset all the values to zero. Once 9999 km (6214 miles) is reached the distance does not go any higher since an extra digit would be needed and the reset should be used. You can see/copy/print/save the handbook from the service.citroen/ddb site and select your language. Printing will be in sections so could take some time.

Welcome to the forum. You could check the wiring for any damage. If the replacement MAF was not a genuine Citroen part these have sometimes been reported to not work that well. If you cleared the fault and then just unplugged the MAF, does the same fault show ? With it unplugged it should run in limp mode with reduced performance.
-
Possible faults could include a loose wiring connection, speed control resistor, blower motor.

Looking in the parts diagrams sensor 1503T2 is for cars up to RPO 10732 and if provided by your dealer against your VIN will be the correct part. If this part is faulty it may not be causing the eolys fluid to be dosed in to the fuel tank and this would result in the dpf becoming blocked - so it might possibly be the cause of your dpf problems.

Welcome to the forum. It will be the resistor but I have seen comments on here that if the motor is also faulty then it could cause the resistor to fail again and that eventually a motor may also be needed.

Agree with Parkesie, I have found that a battery that appears to charge quickly in a few hours is the sign of one that has lost a lot of its capacity. 12.4 volts is also classed as a flat battery if you look at values in a Haynes manual with 12.7 volts being a good charge. To charge a good battery at a low charge rate takes a day or so. Most decent batteries have a guarantee of 3 or 4 years so have a look for its receipt. In the C5 technical section Common Problems pinned topic there is a procedure for using jump leads to avoid problems, care of coastline taxis.

Not sure what you mean by cartridge but you could pull out the changer and gets its manufacturer's details off the label as a start.

Maybe the motor brushes are worn. A replacement one from a scrap car may be the lowest cost option.
-
On the auto wipe it relies on the sensor at the top of the windscreen seeing the rain on the windscreen. You could check the screen is clean but if it is working the wipers too often/when there is no rain, then maybe the sensor is faulty. On our C5 the auto wipe works too infrequently.

On here P1294 comes back as P1294 Injector High Side Open - Bank 2/Target idle not reached An internet search also came up with P1294 Injector High side open - Bank 2/Target idle not reached SIRIUS81 (EW10D) - Fuel rail pressure. High value received.1 So maybe with your Lexia you could check the fuel pressure and also anything to do with the injectors. Is the engine actually working ?

A search on P2635 comes back as low fuel flow. Maybe the fuel filter needs replacing or one of its connections has an air leak so the fuel drains back. If there is a hand primer pump try using this before starting to see if it makes a difference. You could also check the battery voltage, it should be about 12.5 volts before starting and once running about 14.4 volts.

Not sure abut the alignment but on a C5 post a member reported having it done and then getting problems since the rear wheels are not the same width apart as the fronts - so the alignment should not have been done. Disagree that all Citroens pull to the left - in the rest of Europe they would then pull to the middle of the road. Oddly though our current 2015 C4 pulls very slightly to the left on motorways so at the next service it will be looked at under warranty. This has not been the case for other Citroens we've had/have - 2 C3s, 2 C5s, Zsara Picasso, 2 other C4s although one did this after an accident repair but it then had a different tyre at the front left.

The fuel filler cap sensor might be Citroen part no. 1503CS but you should check this using your VIN. It will be located at the side of the fuel tank filler neck on the inside of the rear wing, accessed from under the car. You could check on ebay for one or your Citroen dealer will provide the correct part against your VIN.

Welcome to the forum. If there is damage to the wiring then it is most likely the fault. We had a 2.0 hdi Picasso and I remember seeing the engine plastic cover was rubbing on some wiring at the right side (looking from the front of the car) near the back so I cut part of the cover off to stop this - so maybe this can also happen on the petrol cars. I think the CO2 sensor you mention will be the exhaust O2 lambda sensors. There are 2 on the exhaust, one on the catalyst inlet and one on the catalyst outlet. The first adjusts the fuel flow so emissions are low and the second checks the catalyst is working. The second would not affect running but the first would put the car in limp mode and limit performance. Both would put the engine management light on.

Welcome to the forum. If it has just started to be difficult to start now that the weather has become cold, then it could possibly be the glowplugs need replacing.

Using that part no. 6590A5 in ebay came up with £15.99 for an aftermarket one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Parking-Sensor-PDC-CITROEN-Berlingo-C4-C5-C6-DS3-9663821577-6590A5-6590-A5-/281297368070 I have not used the citroen service site to get parts prices before so maybe this does not work. I have used citroencarparts.net but recently the site has not been working.

How To Replace Oil In Af-40 (Tf80-Sc) Automatic Gearbox
paul.h replied to kaliope's topic in C5 - Technical
Thankyou for this. -
Our C4 has some of the controls on the steering wheel but not as many as the C5. They are too close to be able to see clearly at a quick glance whilst driving so are not used and you just forget they are there.
-
If you ever get all those odd error messages you will know the MF2 fuse has blown so you have found out something for us.

Welcome to the forum. 3+ will have a sport button on the console suspension height button which can be used to firm the suspension a bit. I used this on our mark 1 C5 sometimes but have not used it on our mark 2 2007 C5. If you want built in sat nav you need a VTX model but some people prefer something like a Garmin. A 2.2 hdi 173 bhp twin turbo came out in about 2006. Apart from this there are probably no differences between the years. Do not worry about the steering pumps, the type depends on the engine size/petrol or diesel. Exclusives may have HID headlights. All the diesels have a dpf so beware of ones that have been removed/drilled through (exhaust tailpipe should be clean metal internally) but at about 80k miles they need servicing. If you can, try to avoid the 1.6 hdi since they are known for turbo failures. Have a look on the Technical section Common Problems pinned topic for things to check.
