  • C3 ordered – Many questions from nem Newbie

    First of all, hello to the forum, this is my first post – hopefully not my last one. I hit the price offensive of Citroen on Thursday and ordered a C3 Advance in oriental blue. I also have a few questions that I simply forgot in the excitement. 1. Does someone know how long the delivery time is at present? My dealer said: between 2 and 8 weeks everything is possible – Unfortunately he could not tell me on Thursday yet. 2. there is in the Luggage compartment a compartment in which you can accommodate first-aid box and warning triangle ?? I forgot to check that. 3. Getting in is necessary, isn’t it? If yes, how long and how is this done ? 4. How long are the maintenance intervals at the C3 ? How high is the cost? I would be happy if someone brings light into the dark 🙂

  • Do I give Citroen another chance? C3 1.6 Sensodrive, EZ 2004, look at him!

    Hello, after my total case with Citroen, which is being negotiated in a week before the regional court, I am considering whether I should go to Citroen again. See here:http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…nun-motorschäden-picasso-t2596861.html I am surprised. But with a very good Citroen dealer at the place, where my parents-in-law always buy their new cars (citroen) and are always completely satisfied, there is a C3. I have also bought 4 cars from the dealer, you know each other well. For years……! Here’s the offer:http://ngin.rgswag.de/…/index.php?… What do you think about it. I think the price is 500 euros too high. There’s a warranty insurance, TÜV+AU and the registration to it. Is the engine durable? And is the C3 otherwise ok? Need the car for my wife as a shopping cart and for a few cross-country rides. 2 children with child seats ( 9 months and 3 years) must fit in. Likewise a sports buggy in the trunk.

  • What damage can a broken suspension cause C3

    Hello everyone, I have a question about my citroen C3 Baujhr.03.. so: about 3 weeks ago my car did not jump in the morning, because it was very cold here at this time, I thought nothing about it. After 3 times try then he jumped on. But always the airbags open, until the engine was warm, no more from the time. Also afterwards he jumped imma impeccable. On 24. 12 I want to start nn, no chance anymore. The lights have lit up and it heard, if I the My brother took him to the mechanic, who said something unloaded the battery. Well, radio set off, etc. The day before yesterday the shock, my brother said i-what cut the rubber on the wheel, he felt inside and i-what stands to the wheel. After a long google, I found it must be the spring that broke me. Overall, he lies deeper almost the ground. Today he became there, as if he would never jump on again. nn towed to the workshop. Now to my question:Does the “do not start” of the car have anything to do with the heeling or is it possible that if the spring breaks a bit outside of the tires will be damaged? I know a stupid question, but what is the most obvious way for it to stop starting? A coincidence (battery empty) and spring break or spring break will start no more? I already thank you in advance for the answers… MIA

  • Citroen C3 shuts down at 190 km/h

    Hello I have a Citroen C3 1.6 HDI with 109 hp (built in 2006). The problem is that the Citroen apparently shuts down at 190 km/h. I can do what I want, even if it goes downhill on the highway, the speed of the engine is reduced to not over 190, instead of getting faster. The consumption is kept at constant 12 liters. The joke is that it was not before. The first time I noticed the problem after the car was in the workshop. h was changed something. As the thing exactly means I have to look on the bill again. If you look at the engine from the front, it was at the front left a probe that serves there in the hose for the air supply of the turbo. Of course I have claimed this at the workshop, to that they have replaced the whole hoses there front and of course again the probe. However, the problem continues to order. They have not made a software update. That is now about 1 year ago d the problem also exists with other tires. Does anyone have advice for me, how I can fix this misstand, because I would like to drive again 205-210 as before. About 4 months ago the ABS control unit had to be changed due to a defect. Since then I can not completely shut down the ABS. This is again such a mess. At a certain speed it simply switches on again. However, the response of the ABS is much better than with the old control unit. If someone also has a tip on how to turn off the ABS completely, I would be very grateful.

  • C2 VTS air conditioning

    Hello Leuts…. So it was clear today, without climate —> SWITZERLAND! That’s why I put the good piece into operation, but the noises that came there, ???????? So it’s like that, when starting, after the stand at the traffic light e.g., in the engine room a noise like: BLACK/SHIFT AT THE FUTURE or HIGH-TURNING BRUMMEN etc. When I switch off the climate, it is off or I drive backwards, is also nothing to be heard… Only when starting this HIGH-TURNING GERAUSCH…. listens but then again when I come to 3000 – 4000…!? For ideas or FACHWISSEN I would be really grateful!

  • C2 HDI 110 VTS officially available!!

    Hello all, for a few days the HDI 110 for the C2 is listed on the Citroen homepage. The engine is only available in the VTS equipment, due to the lower performance is slightly slower than the VTS gasoline (193km/h; 9.4s) and costs 1200 euros more than this. The stated average consumption for this is very good 4.4l/100km. Here the data:http://www.citroen.de/…/C2_2J7_07_23_TD.pdf and prices:http://www.citroen.de/…/C2_1J7_07_23_Prices.pdf

  • What number must be checked when replacing the gear control unit with the C3?

    We found out from our free workshop that the transmission control unit is defective. Something has burned through it. I was advised to look for a used control unit in order to keep the repair costs within the frame. However, a whole series of numbers are printed on the photo of the defective control unit (see appendix). It is unclear to me according to which number series it is possible whether the replacement fits. Printed are S118475202 E SW96594996 80 HW9640922780 To the last “HW number” you will find used ECUs, but the other numbers do not fit or not quite fit. To the “S118475202 E” I have found a device with almost identical number (at the end a 1 instead of the 2) but with other letters at the end. For me everything is extremely confusing. Maybe one of you knows which number is decisive and how exactly these must match. I am grateful for every tip. Is the car my cousin, money for a There’s no new car purchase available…

  • New C3 in 2023 (for Europe)

    The current C3 has only been on the market since 2017. However, it is still going on internally for the longest time… With the google-translator one gets roughly with what is therefore matter: In India already 2021 a version With us/Europe 2023. And apparently speaked in technology ggü the 208, or in particular the e-version. BEV entry to make more cost-effective. And overall for Citroen in the group positioning the following, quote: The new C3 marks a new era at Citroën, since Carlos Tavares, the C hef from PSA, which the manufacturer wants to reposition at the entry level, a kind of Dacia in PSA sauce

  • Citroen C3 no longer starts

    Hello all, I picked up a C3 – 1.4 ltr. – year 03, drove 100 km, started 5-6 times, everything perfect. Yesterday I set off the C3, tried to start it again later, the starter turns perfectly, but the engine does not start. I thought of the immobilizer, locked it up with the remote control and after a few minutes again, tried again, without success. The securing of the petrol pump is still tested, is ok.. I still believe in the Wegfa hrlock, since the starter rotates nicely evenly, but the engine does not make any effort to jump. Would it make sense to disconnect the battery for a few minutes or does someone have another tip for me? Thanks for every answer and greeting

  • Pluriel rear door opener: Where are the fuses???

    Hello, After my pluriel (BJ2003 petrol) doesn’t open the rear door anymore, I disconnected the modules in the rear door to directly control the elktromechanical openers. This also worked, but unfortunately it came to a short circuit in the 12V leading supply line, so that a fuse must have flown, also the radio is no longer working, otherwise everything seems to be still OK. I then put on the inner and “outer” fuse box. After the backup boards are extremely poorly accessible, I gave up after about 80% and I hope that here in the forum knows where to find the right fuses, (size and strength would be helpful) There is nothing useful in the guide (both French and German versions).
