ChrisJones74 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Hi, I've recently acquired a C5 Mk1 (CDi VTR Diesel) and last time I asked a question you guys (and possibly gal's) were incredibly helpful so here we go again. I'm looking for part number 60109903 or possibly 9642261980 (The internet is unsure) - of frankly it could be something else entirely. See massively oversize pictures. It's a tailgate release switch. So here's my question.... How do I purchase this spare part - the web seems rubbish at this, as do Citroen who seem not to have an on-line spares department? Can that really be true? I could go to my local dealer who'll charge me an arm and a leg and patronise me up the wazzo for not knowing what I'm talking about but I'd rather not. Thanks in advance Chris Jones Quote
paul.h Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 You need to search for parts using the Citroen part nos. rather than the manufacurer ones that are stamped on them. You can see the Citroen parts diagrams as a free service if you register on service.citroen as an other professional non emergency services and as a member of the Citroen Owners Club http://service.citroen.com/do/changerParametres Once on the site you can use your VIN (VIS) top left to find your car. The door switch is likely to be under bodywork, tailgate. Parts from dealers are not always expensive and will be the correct ones and fit. I have tried pattern ones before and you may save a bit but they have not always fit properly or not performed as well. Quote
paul.h Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 For a hatchback the part could be 6554F1 http://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/NEW-Genuine-Citroen-C5-Xsara-Picasso-Tailgate-opening-switch-contact-9642261980-/381103959480 £15 plus £3 delivery from Essex Quote
ChrisJones74 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Ok - thanks very much - yes according to the Citroen site its part number 6554 F1 Why that information is so hard to get out of them is beyond me but never mind... Lets see if I can find it now.... Thanks... Chris Jones Quote
ChrisJones74 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 Ok - One left on eBay - couldn't find a way to let Citroen sell it to me so .... their loss.. Thanks for all your help. This forum has been a real help Chris Jones Quote
