Hi all, my friend has a 52plate citroen c3 and her wipers stopped working. On Wednesday I went round to have a look, using a multimeter I found that there was power getting to the motor and no blown fuses but the motor didn't move. I took the motor and linkage out and connected up to the battery and it started moving but once again when back in it wouldn't work. I stumbled across another post claiming the bsi reset had worked so gave it a go and hey presto all was fine but then last night they stopped working again. Any ideas what may be causing this to happen? Many thanks

If it has air in the system would that cause brake fluid loss or does that sound more like it's leaking somewhere?

Hi all, had a brand new caliper fitted to my os front wheel last week and since then my pedal sinks slowly and is really spongy. I noticed my brake fluid had dropped drastically and took it back to garage today and he had a look and couldn't see no problems so topped fluid back up and told me to keep an eye on it. When I took wheel off and had a look, the brake hose where it screws into caliper still has thread showing but doesn't seem to tighten up no more, is this meant to screw right in if so why would it not be going in fully? Cheers

Okay I took off the two retaining.nuts.and disconnected all pipe work and plugs, undone the studs until they just kept spinning which helped to lift up the injector about an inch so the top of the plastic seat around the base of the injector could be seen but even using leverage under the injector I could not lift it any further so I decided to put it all back and going to call a garage to do it. In the process of putting it back the top of one of the studs broke a little but still managed to get it tightened back down

What would the process be for replacing the seals?

Just seen a video on YouTube of the same problem and it looks as if it is injector seal. Is that easy to change?

Just took the silver cover off and underneath is 4 plug looking things which on a petrol I could describe as coils. That's where the blowing is coming from very loudly, what are they exactly? They have 4 electrical connectors connected.to them and metal tubes going into them?

Hi all, got in my car this morning and there is a noise which sounds as if.it's coming from under the top of the silver engine cover which sounds like air leaking very loudly and when I press the throttle the air leak speeds up and goes with the engine speed. It's a 2001 2.2hdi estate. No loss of power or warning lights and no chance to look at it till I finish work this evening. Any ideas what pipes are under there that I should look for? Cheers

Hi all, I've got a new coolant temperature sensor to fit to my 2.2hdi and whilst looking at what I have to take off I noticed on the side of the airbox there is some sort of sensor with two tiny black hoses coming out of it. One of these hoses goes to the top of the engine into a plastic t piece and has a little split on a rubber covering by the t piece. Any idea what these hoses are for and what that sensor does? Cheers

Any idea where the sensor is located and if it is easy to change? Cheers

Hi all. When I turn my ignition on the glow plug light will stay illuminated for quite a long period of time before it goes out, maybe 15 seconds and then when I start the car it revs high for a second or so and sounds rough until it's heated up then it starts no problem and the glow plug light goes straight out. Also I don't know if it would be related but my coolant temp gauge seems to drop all the way to the bottom sometimes or on one occasion I turned the car ignition on first thing in the morning and temp gauge was right up? What would be causing the rough starting? Any help appreciated, cheers

Hi all got a few problems with my windows lately, both the rear windows go out of line and fall to one side when opened and it took me 20 minutes to get one back up the other night as everytime i lifted it and pushed the switch the anti pinch sent it down again. The front passenger window works okay but when it reaches the top and stops it kind of makes a creaking sound as im driving along? any ideas what i need to check? cheers

yes i get exact same message popping up every few minutes but as you say the service light only flashes for a few minutes then goes out. I also get the child safety message popping up all the time because i put the rear child locks on. Your right about comfort, just had 2 weeks in somerset, 4 hour drive there and its the best car ive taken on holiday yet :)

so if there is a software update available for it how would i be able to have it installed?

i only really noticed because my radio switched off
