I have a 2009 c5 that has started making a creaking sound when you turn the steering wheel it seems to be coming from around the front wheels but is hard to track down because it only happens when you first move it then it stops any one had this or knows what to check to narrow it down.

driving home today and ive got the message anti pollution system faulty and the engine management light is on but if anything it feels more powerful not less. Ive got a 2009 c5 vtr+ 2.0d 168hp and shes done 120k+ I had the particulate fluid topped up last year and it was serviced the end of last year. has anyone had this fault any idea whats up.

I bought the car last year from an independent it was supposed to have a full service when I bought it but doubt it so I've ordered a full set of filters from eurocarparts less than £20 for air oil and fuel at the moment .

Thanks for the reply no def only put diesel in I was thinking down the lines of blocked injectors or egr valve ??

Hi I have a 2009 hdi and it's just started jumping not all the time but enough to be concerning I can be happily driving along when it is like foot tapping on the accelerator I have an idea what I think it is but was wondering what you guys think is there a common fault on the c5 that would cause this .

Hi replaced my front brake pads today if we disregard knakered locking wheel nuts sized wheel nuts ect all went well the old pads were worn to the sensors it didn't register as a fault because the wires were broken on the car side if the loom😣 that shouldn't be to hard to fix my problem is the bleeding nipple on the drivers side has been snapped off (not by me)I managed to get the new pads fitted ok I bleed all the brakes except the front drivers side if I pump the peddle with the engine off the peddle go's solid start the engine it gos down the brakes still feel a bit soft to me so do I A try to remove the broken nipple and replace B bleed through the brake hose or C leave it and let the new pads bedin . Is there any other way to firm up the brakes other than bleeding or any other thing I should check that may make them soft.

I just had the same problem with my 09 C5 the locking bolts had been over tightened and sized in place I got the first out but one of the lugs in the key came losse and another broke off when I tried the next one my solution was to drill the weak soft lugs out with a 4mm bit (same size as the lugs )then I cut down a couple of old 4mm bits to replace the lugs I use this tool to get two more off but the final one was just to chewed up I'm guessing someone else had this trouble . So I pulled the car 4"from the kerb and fetched a 6foot builders level (a very strong one )put the key on the bolt the best I could and my longest wrench on that then got my son to jam the level between the kerb and the tyre got him to apply pressure to my wrench and slowly very slowly it came out .

Some great advice thanks as for not turning it off it stop it misting up that sounds a bit like going to the dr and saying it hurts when you raise your arm and him saying don't lift it then good advice but doesn't really help fix the problem 😉 I haven't noticed damp under the car any idea of the location of the drain tube for the matrix

Mine seems to do it regardless of Location or humidity or outside temperature?

I will try that I have never done that before With my other cars is this normal on the C5?

When I had the heater matrix replaced I found the passenger footwell soaking so I pulled the carpet up and dryed it I havnt noticed it wet since but I will check

No it doesn't use any coolant it's had a new condensor and heater matrix last year

Hi I have a citroen C5 tourer 2.0hdi 2009 great car but if I turn the ac on then when it's cool turn it off the windscreen mists up strait away any idea why?? And what to do to sort it

Thanks I will check the service book I recently bought the car at the end of last year it has 114000 on the clock full service history and I think it was a rep car so mostly motorway miles

Thanks Paul it does look easy I've called a few garages for quotes (to save getting my hands dirty)citroen said about £200 quid that's about what I was expecting but they also said I would need to replace my particulate filter at the cost of £800 I've had no other problems with the way my car drives no exess smoke no other warnings why would I need to replace the filter is this right??
