Hello. Just looking for a car for my parents. We stayed stuck at Citroen C3. You like the car very well and to rehearsal they have already driven a 110 psler and were very satisfied. Yes, the prices have increased significantly in recent times and in the vicinity (Lower Bavaria) we find nothing about price/performance. Keyless go should be already, automatic anyway. Was in the last car also available and they do not want to miss it. Now we found one what my parents But what makes me think about it is that the PDC sensors are present on the front fenders sideways, which I know are responsible for tracking assistants, but on the pictures of the interior equipment, where the light control is not available. Thinking error on my part? Thanks in advance https://link.mobile.de/KfSdELpESxkHNqHa7

Hello, I stayed on the highway with my pluriel with my toddler. he just went out during the ride and it looked only briefly the battery. After an adventurous towing action (the towing device in the thread had suddenly broken off. At home then only Ecomode stood in the display. I tried it again the ignition went then at work was not even the warning flashing light went.. Battery charged overnight. It also did nothing. I bought the car in front of you and it never happened what it purred like a kitten. Ok, I’m a woman, but I want to keep my car and really need your help with this car. A workshop manual is not to be obtained. what do you think it might be?The Lima? (coal through) And how can I expand this part? Can I get a copy of the car? I’d rather ask before I can’t get my car started. I’m really stuck on the mortar How can you test the Lima itself? What do you think about it?I’m more than grateful about every help and not quite untalented about cars, but that really makes me feel forgiven. Letting the fault diagnosis through was a very nice one.And that came out on the Bidern, only he didn’t know what to do. Something about Getri ebeschreiberung…ähh yes but where can I find it? You can check the cables and I just don’t know where. lg Bianca

Good evening together, After a long time thinking I decided to buy last month a Citroen c3 Picasso 2010 with the 1.6 vti 120 HP engine used. Fing already well at the Kies dealer that came after a day exhaust system defective. So let again there and Lambdasonde exchange. Since the last service entry was long back, I had it made last week in a friend’s workshop, complete service. Fresh oil (whereby the dealer said he made another one with it, but r just tipped oil to it), spark plugs were completely fried and the air filter hasn’t breathed freely for a long time. I also noticed that the front right, crossbar or similar is defective. Was only the rod and is now exchanged on both sides and set track. When the spark plug change compression measured, fits. Now the car is better in shot than before, but there is a little something yesterday. And indeed, the on-board computer no longer works, completely dun kel. Tacho goes without problems and it is not set to the dark mode on the radio either. Someone already had such a thing and can please tell me the solution? Radio plays, but it shows nothing at all in the display, where the missing time is the most annoying. I thank you already in advance. Greeting Matze.

Hello, with me went during the ride, acceleration to the overtaking process ( 4th gear, high speed, wanted to turn up) the engine lamp, red. With the indication error engine oil pressure, stop vehicle. I stopped, car turned off. After 1 minute started, engine ran and drove 25 km without any problems. Next 2 rides without problems, now it came back a few times. Engine oil tested, the stand was clearly above max., and smelled of gasoline. Workshop looked at it and said, dr Ingend change timing belts. It can be seen in the opening to the oil filling, it would be porous. Question: can this be the cause? If so, what costs do I have to reckon with?

I would like to install a new radio with Bluetooth with my old car (Citroen C3 from 2007). The installation size should be 1Din. I’m just not sure if I can install a new one at all, since I can use my current (original) the built-in external display. The display shows e.g. radio transmitter, consumption, temperature and time and on the radio are then a menu buttons and arrow keys. My questions: Can I install a new radio at all? If yes which s? (Have still inserted photos from the plugs) Does each radio fit in from the width and height of the cover?

Moin together. I’ve recently had a Citroen C3 1.1 petrol engine with the following symptoms: When I start it it runs and stays on. If I give it short gas bursts it can be that it simply runs out. In addition, the engine runs on and for itself a bit unevenly. I also have the feeling that it runs well right after the start when it is cold but then starts to run unround within the first minute. Engine control lamp is off and even when reading out there is no error. But he doesn’t always go out. Sometimes he runs like a champ. And if you keep him on say we times 3000rpm then he also runs super round. When driving it is similar. Sometimes he runs great times he just goes out while giving gas. And if he runs out while driving then he also stays out, even if I don’t couple “except” I turn off the ignition briefly and again. Then he’s right back there. So domes, walk down and let come back nix if I don’t get first ignition As if he didn’t release any sparks otherwise. Camshaft sensor has already come new and falls away as a mistake. Except of course there is a cable break somewhere. As I said, I had the engine read out several times and there was never any error. Does anyone know this fault picture and can do something with it? Tool, multimeter and readout device are available. Here the data about the car: Citroen C3 1.1 First registration: 06.2002 Key No: 3001 788 F INN: VF7FCHFXC26062527

Hello ! First of all I would like to congratulate you for the quite informative forum here. I am a proud (but often also concerned) owner of a C3 HDI 8 V BJ 2002 (the first model with the bright interior) On the clock I have now only 57000 km. That is why I had the first 45000 km a job which was quite far away (every day 160 km long distance) and now almost only short distances have to drive around the 5 20 km. This month again HU and AU was due. Despite my worry the car had passed the HU without any shortage. But what I had not expected was that I did not get an AU because the workshop could not be measured. They told me that they would not get speed information from the OBD and without speed data no measurement. That was a Free Workshop (ATU) on that I drove to a contract workshop and there they confirmed this to me. I should leave the car for 80 euros an hour that the error is wanted. That has I didn’t accept it at first. I also pointed out that there was a different method of speed determination (upper wavyness of the on-board voltage). I could not be told this. I then drove to a Citroen NIEDERLASSUNG again. There I described my problem and the serviceman immediately said: “This is not a problem of their vehicle but of the workshops where they were, with the older vehicles there was already an OBD but it was not standardized which signal and where these would have to lie” For this there would be an exception in which exactly this measurement by shaft of the onboard voltage is carried out. I now have an appointment for AU next week Can this of a confirm, has someone experienced this also already so? Have really no desire to put the car off in the garage only because nobody can make AU with me … Previous damage to my car: after 1.5 years of failure of the onboard displays, diagnosis : short circuit in the control unit for the return ahrsensoren (Guarantee) after 4 years high pressure pump electrically defective (pump in order but short circuit on one of the coils) ( COST 1300 EURO!!)

Hello dear Citroen-Gemeinde, am here completely new and desperately looking for information about the C2 (especially to, C2 Confort). I have unfortunately not much idea of Autosrage me with this and carry with the thought to buy me the car, was quite enthusiastic after a test drive. I have only different fears: – that the consumption is too high (seek more e9in cheaper model), what experiences do you have there? – I fear that the for a small car is quite in printing equipment (such as board computer, electric window lifter, etc.) might be susceptible to interference – besides: what about spare parts? do you always have to be a (decent) dealer or do you get them (for later times when the car should be older) in the normal trade? – last question: is the car reliable even after several years? or do you have to reckon with many repairs? I could run a C2 Confort for 9.590€ / 3000 km ( I mean, that’s a good price. Would you like that too? Would it be very nice if someone could give me some information. Or maybe the C1 is the better solution? Thank you for the help. Dirtsa

Hello, after my C3 1.6 Sensodrive Exclusive causes permanent errors when switching, the car sometimes no longer drives forward, but only backwards and such things, I would like to return the car now to the Citroen dealer. 2x was tried to fix the error. Also the control unit was changed. But it gets worse and worse. The situations in which the car suddenly stops driving are not safe either. So yesterday he stayed in the middle of driving into a I had to drive a bit backwards and then tap the first gear again…..then we went again……until the next error 5 minutes later ! The dealer is really very kulant, friendly, trying hard…there you can say nothing. Our family bought many cars (also new cars C5/C2) there. I just called there and asked to take the C3 back and to get my other car back. I bought the C3 only 4 weeks ago. 3x it was already in the workshop! I will keep you informed if the dealer takes the car back!!

Hello , my hate love with my French bitch ended up abruptly last week. The 4 year old and 30,000 km running timing belt is broken. (total power of the vehicle 8 years 80,000km) The following symptoms : Accelerate on the acceleration strip , at about 3000 RPM there was a squeak/jauling noise in the engine compartment. After that power loss. With Pedal2 floor plate the car was to be held at 85 km, with each delay the car was then not faster to get after that, but stopped This speed. After a delay to 30 km was only possible to roll out. NO engine control light, NO jerk in the vehicle. An opening of the engine cover showed: cover of the zah strap damaged, zah strap to see whether it is still on it or only those parts of it are unclear. Car does not ignite any more. Questions: 1. Is this symptom zah strap crack typical? Usually I thought that at least a heavy jerk goes through the car when the pistons break down the injection system. 2. Is there a chance that the engine remained undamaged with timing belt tear? 3. Can I still make any optical diagnoses? In case of engine damage I can only scrap the car and that after 8 years and 80,000 km. I had had the ZR exchanged with a Rep 4 years ago at 50,000 km and had the still far from on the plan. Intervals are indeed at Cit 10years/240000km. Seuftz .. the next one probably will not be a Cit. 🙁
