  1. Hi, Google it there is loads of info on it. I tried it on my misses 1.6 hdi c3, it made no difference on her car and hers runs perfect.
  2. I have the same model, mine does whine slight in first as well when accelerating softly. Goes when the revs pick up more.
  3. Maf don't do much, but having read else where, it only works in line with the egr as diesels don't really need a Maf. It works differently to petrol, as yes soon as you unplug it it will run rough. I've got it booked in for a service so I'll get the to plug in lexia and have a good look. Thanks for your help and I'll relay the outcome.
  4. Afternoon, I just wanted to let you know of a fix, probably on here but I couldn't find anything definite. So my C5 since purchasing has ridden what I thought was to high at the front. Suspension would go up and down properly but would sit at 755mm from ground to arch. I know this is not the most accurate measurements but it's the easiest I could do in the time I had to investigate, anyway I put it up on ramps and found the sensor and clamp, all looked OK. I decided to mark it as it was and move it to lower the drop to the 700mm height that I've found on line, I undid the bolt and moved it back and forth and lined it back up with the marks I made started engine and went in side the house to get my tape measure. When I came out the car had dropped to the 700mm. I tighted the bolt and jacked it to full height to look properly and it was still on the same marks. Put car and ground and went through the cycle up and down for a few go's and works perfectly sits at correct height. So just thought I post as it could be just a sticking sensor. Although bit confused why it would go all the way down but then on normal ride height would sit high. But all good now, just need to test drive on some sleeping policemen and see if the very loud bang has gone.
  5. Car was running fine no codes stored, engine, engine light or limp mode. When unplugged engine light came on, fault code for Maf, drove car for 20min, ran fine, reconnected and cleared faults, ran exactly the same. Car doesn't go into limp mode at all, can still get to 80-90 if I wished and will still rev to. 4k, just low on power. Pull over and switch off and on, power is restored.
  6. Thanks, I'll try and get codes later, it's done 113000 with full history.
  7. Have tried this and it made no difference.
  8. Hi, I've owned my C5 since November just gone. Very please with it although there are a few niggles I'm hoping someone might have come across. First is, there seems to be a resonance vibration from the engine when at 1750rpm In any gear. Most noticeable at 60mph when it's in 6th, its just a constant vibration you feel through the car once above these revs it smooths out. I though it was the gearbox, but if you slowly build the revs up in neutral it becomes evident once you hit 1750rpm. A garage have checked but can't find anything wrong. Occasionally it will come up with pollution system faulty if you need to accelerate hard and will what feels like turbo pressure loss, not limp mode. Switch of and on and it drives fine and a few days later the engine light will go out, fault code points to fuel pressure sensor. Unsure if the two are related. Apart from this the car always starts never had any major issues. Car only does about 40 miles a week normally, only use it for family runs as I use my wife's c3 for work. Anyone had a similar issue? Thanks for your help
  9. Morning, I've owned my 2008 C5 saloon exclusive HD since November, very pleased with it although a few niggles, so any way Hello! Thanks for having me.
