Good morning dear community, I bought my first car in March this year, a Citroen C2 1.4 VTR 73ps Bj september 2003 automatic/semi-automatic transmission. Since the original radio wasn’t enough for me, I had built a new radio, everything ran out. Suddenly the car just ran out at the intersection. He paged 3 times and went out. I turned the car off, did nothing. This happened to me 2 times. Then my friend and his good friend (both cars Me) said Chatroniker), that it would probably be on the radio. So the old radio was installed again and everything ran again 2 weeks without problems – until yesterday I just remained on the highway. He beeped again 3 times and did nothing, no gas, just jumped in the STEHEN into the 2nd gear, 1st gear could not put in at all, the engine did not even cry anymore. After 20 minutes a couple pushed me on the side stripes, again nothing went. After about 30 minutes he ran like r quite normal. So I continued on the federal road, again he paged 3 times (happily then I drove to the side in the grass) and went out. Again the same game from the front. My friend, my mother, father, and the good friend of my friend had already informed me on the highway. On the federal road finally my friend and his buddy arrived. After a total of 2 hours drive home I arrived at home. My friend drove the car, until home everything was good. Later he told me that they had stayed on the way to his screwdriver hall (20 min away) 2 more times. Afterwards they had found out a trick, they turned off the car, turned it on again, started the reverse turn, finally the first gear and he drove again. Both of them are from a gear damage, I bought the car privately. Does anyone know this problem, maybe had the same situation? Is it perhaps another problem? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello, the blower from my C3 just went out during the ride today and doesn’t run again until now. I had it on the highest level because it was very warm in the car. Have the fuse F18=Blow and F15=air conditioning system already checked, but are both OK. I also checked the plugs of the actuators etc in the passenger compartment. What can this be? While searching on the board I couldn’t find so much that helps me. Data: C3 Exclusiv HDI 70 / BJ: 2004 / Klimaa utomatics Thank you [translated by motor talk from the topic ‘C3 – blower no longer works’.]

Our C3 is a 1.4HDi SX 50kW. With my tank display I always have a fault. Although the tank is full, the display starts to flash and to beep like when jumping on reserve tank. Here is a video of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmX6QtZjV_c I could fix it then for several months by adding winter additive, but last autumn it appeared again and comes sporadic again and again. It will probably be the sensor defective (glued float) The problem is quite annoying because sometimes the error appears again and again during a trip and then you have 10 minutes nerve-killing long-term beep. I have already googled myself quite crooked, also in French forums (fleteur de reservoir, jaugeur, level de essence, capteur etc.), but have found so far no information where the part is located let alone a removal instruction. Does anyone here possibly have a plan? Is the part possibly under the bench? Thanks in advance for all the tips!

Good evening, today the Tüv unfortunately had no plaque for me… All right, except for both thresholdrs. We agreed that it only needed a new “outer sheet” and that this should be incorporated at best in point welded. Is okay for me. The sheets offered on the internet vary between 30 – 130 euros and more. I tend to be a solid and also somewhat more expensive variant, but am not sure what I buy there…? There are “full threshold” repair plates like this one. My questions are: 1. What are the differences between a full swinger and a repair sheet? 2. Is a full sleeper different in the installation / welding process? What is different? 3. How would you do it? Thanks and LG Töfli

Hello, short to me: I am 20 years young, Azubi and need a car now! Distance would be short distances and from time to time vacation/road trips and then when vocational school is 60km a day. I would like to buy a C2 VTS, as my mother drives the C2 1.4 and I like the car quite much, but a little more performance. However, the offers are limited. Within a radius of 100km there is currently only one vehicle:https://www.autoscout24.de/…/…b566-cbcc-476f-9aad-762e9799a3ad?… Have this sc He has TÜV up to 5/2021, is well cared for inside and drives very well, but there are also a few defects: – down strongly rusted, especially the exhaust pot (if reperatur, 210€?) – damaged with both sun visors folding mechanism (70€) – new winter tires (200€) – timing belts have never been changed. Stands up now. (300€?) – air conditioning might need service (100€) Is a purchase worth it despite all the costs still outstanding? If the price can be traded down? (Would you say 2300 to 250€, no idea if the seller is doing that) Which other cars might be a better alternative? Seller thinks that a young woman drove him in front of it and the car was not “stepped”…do not know if that’s true. During the test drive he only let me drive very briefly (10 to 15min). Maybe some problems only become noticeable at higher speeds on the AB.. LG

The Citroen dealers should have a circular letter of the Zenrale which makes a statement on the above topic – although not yet published on the homepage. This is, which will start production from October 2018 ! , ie. who today orders this car with the better Eurornom 6 d temp (from 1.9.2019 mandatory) can no longer count on the delivery this year … What are your information?

Hello together, have a Citroen C3 Sensodrive __ the vehicle stops again and again with the familiar “snow mode” transmission finds no gears any more ect. vehicle I can also no longer start with all the well-known tricks like battery, etc. If then I have the vehicle on the lifting platform ….. close the starter briefly and the car runs …. then I make out again __ put the car back on the ground _ ignition _ gears are searched and found_ car can be found start and drive again as if never had been anything. But!! next test drive over 10 / 15 KM it happens again …. under driving the beep goes on _ Snow mode comes _ _ vehicle no longer takes gas and stops. It still runs … but I can’t drive. As soon as the C 3 is turned off it’s over __ it doesn’t start anymore and possibly even has the gear in it and can’t even be pushed away :-(((( Would be grateful for every tip 🙂 ) …. if someone software h At which I can read__ I would like to do this myself and of course here also what “pay” At Citroen it is a barrel without floor __ there is just too much money going on and everything is considered.

Hello together, for about 3 weeks the engine control light has been constantly shining during the ride. Then I drove to the workshop about 1 week ago, because my car had already started to go to the engine control light, but after a restart I thought nothing about it. But since the light was on now constantly I drove to Citroen to let the error memory read out. Out of that came only a fuse, and that the second car was constantly on. Then it was changed. After that it was quiet for about 2 days, then this damn engine control light went on again. I then checked the fuse myself, but that was OK. Then I removed the secondary air pump, and see there was a good half liter of water in the pump. I then cleaned it and dried it up and then installed it again. Since I could not delete the error myself then the day after I went to my workshop But now after 2 days the lamp is back on again. I checked the pump again, but it is perfectly fine and also runs who you start the car. Since I planned to drive to the TÜV tomorrow and the engine inspectors probably don’t like, I would like to know if there is any possibility, how I can delete the error myself. My car is by the way a Citroen C3 1.1 with first registration February 2005. Please help me! Thank you in front of ==References==

Hello all!! Our C3 Picasso has rust bubbles without end!! -Bj 2012 (newly bought) -Underfloor protection immediately additionally,so that we have no problem with rust cutting. -2016 Rust transparency for warranty,without complaint. -2018 in January unfortunately rust vision not made, was unfortunately overlooked.(otherwise all service made at Citroen) -2018 in August rust bubbles (partly 2cm large) at the tailgate and li+Re Holm noticed. From to the car house,short information rust damage in the value of 270€-Autoankau fswert max. 4500=Economic total damage. No guarantee since review was not made in January 2018.Kulanz solution 20%Citroen +20%distributor.As the rust bubbles are closed outside, the rust clearly comes from them, my opinion should be 100% culant.Car is only 6 years old. Ask for your opinion. Lg a disappointed Citroen driver.

Dear people, I have a C3 II Exclusive with the 120hp engine (real 4-speed automatic transmission) and it claps and claps when I start or when I stand (except in idle). Now I was at a Citroen branch yesterday and they did a test drive. Feedback: I’ve never heard of it. Is probably a gearbox problem. Let’s not do it here. I thought so. The whole thing is as follows: 1. When I start the first time after engine start there is a physical S You can really feel it at the bottom of the foot and it’s always like that. 2. As soon as I stand (except in idle) the car claps from the bottom/left side. The guys also raised the car and could not see anything that caused it (also hotplate would be fixed). It’s probably the gearbox. It actually does so as normal when you take into account that the car has only 4 gears and you notice the 120hp zero. Has someone similar he problems and can report or a tip? Thanks already.
