The Dispatch has acquired some electrical problems. Lights &amp; wipers permanently on when engine running &amp; lights come on when they feel like it when the van is off &amp; locked. Everything pointed to the BSI unit. Tried several times to do the suggested reboot but with no change.</p><p> </p><p>I took it out &amp; found no obvious problems, I contacted BBA Reman &amp; then sent it to them for repair â€“ they said it needed â€œvirginisingâ€ &amp; after refitting would need coding by Citroen. BBA provided a good, quick service but after refitting &amp; towing to Citroen for coding find the same faults remain. Citroen say its likely to need the under-bonnet fuse box replacing but then provided a written quote for the BSi unit (P/N 1609999180 ANC control box ). TBH I donâ€™t think they have a clue &amp; cure by trial &amp; error at my expense?</p><p>Further research suggests the under-bonnet fuse box ( 9666700280 ) can cause similar symptoms often due to water ingress but does not need coding if replaced. Any suggestions appreciated â€“ Van runs &amp; drives perfectly.</p><p> </p><p>To be honest its a nice van &amp; only around 61,000 miles.</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">24852</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Aug 2017 17:31:57 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Front Knocking Noise</title><link>https://citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/24818-front-knocking-noise/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Seem to be getting a real horrible knocking noise coming from the front passenger side,,, could this be the drop link, 2004 2.0HDI, Cheers </p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">24818</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Jul 2017 19:51:58 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Citroen Dispatch 2.0Hdi Black Smoke On Hard Acceleration</title><link>https://citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/24748-citroen-dispatch-20hdi-black-smoke-on-hard-acceleration/</link><description>Hi all, I've got an issue with my dispatch. Was black smoking when hard accelerating and I was getting a boost to high fault putting it into limp mode. I've had new egr, new map, new maf and new boost solenoid. Still black smokes. It's not really heavy but constant black cloud when you put your boot down. The boost issue was fixed by adjusting the actuator and now I don't get limp mode anymore. Any ideas please?? </description><guid isPermaLink="false">24748</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Jun 2017 08:10:37 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Location Egr Valve In 2.0Ltr Hdi Diesel</title><link>https://citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/24507-location-egr-valve-in-20ltr-hdi-diesel/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>I have a 2002 2.0 Ltr HDI Diesel Dispatch and need to clean the EGR valve as its sticking.

and the electric window plays up with a mind of its own, i dont think these are related but four garages in i am will to think about any thing.</p><p> </p><p>i would greatly appreciate and help or advice</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">23854</guid><pubDate>Fri, 22 Apr 2016 14:20:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Few Questions On Newly Aquired 2007 1.6 Hdi</title><link>https://citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/23851-few-questions-on-newly-aquired-2007-16-hdi/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi All,</p><p> </p><p>I have recently bought a 2007 Dispatch 1.6 HDi H2 L2.<br />Really happy with the van, which will be used for hobbies and DIY.<br /><br />I have a couple of questions though which I need some assistance on as I cant find any real technical stuff online.<br /><br />1. How do I remove the passenger seat?<br />I have a single seat to replace the double, bit when I turn the nut, the whole thing turns. I havent got underneith yet, but assumes it would be a welded bolt?<br /><br />2. Knocking from OS front.<br />Sounds like a drop link, as its more a rattly clonking. Are these a weak area of the van?</p><p> </p><p>3. Air feed pipe.<br />Its missing on mine. I can see it should go from the NS inner arch/wing area, to somewhere under the air intake, but for the life of me I cant see where it should connect.</p><p> </p><p>Cheers</p><p>Neil</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">23851</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Apr 2016 14:04:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Citroen Dispatch 2012</title><link>https://citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/23741-citroen-dispatch-2012/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi new to the forum but here goes</p><p> </p><p>So compressor does not engage</p><p> </p><p>Manually powered it will</p><p>Not low on gas and not to much either</p><p>Both fans working</p><p>Bsi module tested and told it's OK</p><p>BSM engine module swapped </p><p>No codes</p><p> </p><p>Anyone have a wiring diagram?</p><p> </p><p>Havnt tried a new control yet</p><p>Or the hedghog resistor which I believe is different from non AC versions having 4/5 pins could it be at fault</p><p>Have tried increasing temp to outside temp sensor as someone said could be measuring to low so won't engage </p><p>Wiring from compressor to engine fuse box all good</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Where to start next ? </p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">23741</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Mar 2016 18:56:49 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Rear Fog Lamps Dispatch 1.6Hdi Enterprise 2012</title><link>https://citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/23540-rear-fog-lamps-dispatch-16hdi-enterprise-2012/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi All hope you can help</p><p>I failed my MOT yesterday on inoperative rear fog lamps.
