HI, thanks for the reply, the bent crankshaft could not be fixed, still to this day I do not know what caused it, the first diesel specialist found it but were charging the earth for every thing they did and when they found it. so I found A1 engines in rainham Essex, who gave me a price to rebuild it, but once they had it the bill got bigger and the outcome was a second hand engine was fitted out of a peugot. they did not know the mileage or did not take note of the engine number....very few new parts were fitted and several faults were found on arrival home. since January the car has been parked up in my garage, I took it round the block last weekend and it went into limp mode and the faults have shown up on a code reader,. I have since removed the fuse box in the engine bay looking for any bad wiring, replaced it , cleared the faults on the code reader, but as soon as the engine is started, again the engine service light comes on along with the esr/abs light the snow and sports light and the dash information panel says gearbox fault....I am going to check and clean the intercooler today and search for a wiring diagram so I can trace the wires that go to the gearbox...that's the story so far, I shall keep everyone informed of the outcome thanks steve

My 2.0 diesel automatic has gone into limp mode,it runs up to about 1500 revs ok, the asr/ebs light has come on along with the snow and sport light, I have plugged in a code reader ant the faults showing are P1727, P1605 and U1208. I have noticed that when the engine is switched off the left hand side intercooler (looking from front) is sucked in flat under vacum, can somebody please give me any advise thanks Steve.

Hi guys the car is a 2010 , and has just turned a hundred and five thousand miles, I took it to citroen about a month and a half ago to have it replaced and they said come back when its near one hundred and sixty thousand...the belt was still under tension and had no damage to it , can the belt stay intact and bend the crankshaft is my question, can you help please

Hi guys, i have just joined this forum as my much beloved citroen has now decided to start playing up. It is a C5 2.0ltr diesel tourer, running well untill on the aproach to a roundabout it kind of missfired like a petrol engine twice, on leaving the roundabout it accelerated away, then went straight into limp mode with no power and sounded like it was running on two cylinders, I limped it home...its been into a diesel specialist, who suspected it was the turbo, but after plugging it into their diagnostics it showed timing errors, after inspection the timing had somehow jumped 10 teeth...they then said this would bend the valves as well, this was the case valves were bent....they have now said the crankshaft may also be bent,,, so my question is is this possible without damaging the belt and why did it jump the timing.....please help
