The day before yesterday I drove a piece of road when there was a strange noise at the car. The car literally tore me off the lane into the oncoming traffic! That went good 3minutes. Then came the ASR and ESP lamp. Very carefully I drove a bit to see what it was. Every time the electronics gave me gas the steering wheel out of my hand! The car drove with me and not the other way around! Fortunately the road was empty. Slowly to the workshop, which first read out. Test drive, which came just 10m far, we saw the mistake! The bolt of the crossbar was cut off! Don’t think about what would have happened on the highway or at higher V! OZL 2020 2.0 L 150PS/ 116500KM

I hope that has a clue about you and can help me. My car battery is empty after 2-3 days. If I briefly solve the minuspole after driving and connect again it stops for several weeks. I would like to know what you think of the explanation. The battery has been changed by ATU. Chat GPT has delivered me the following. Yes, the Norauto car battery 41 (70Ah, 650A) can cause problems with the battery management (BMS) of your Citroën Spacetourer 1.5 BlueHDi xl. Here are the possible hen Impact: 1. Problems with the battery management system (BMS) • The Citroën Spacetourer (from 2018) has a self-learning BMS, which expects a battery with at least 720-800A CCA. • Since the Norauto battery has only 650A CCA, the BMS could classify the battery as weak, even if it works technically. • This can lead to misinterpretations of the charging state, for example: 2. Possible symptoms ? ECO mode remains active immediately ? The system disabled St type-stop to save the battery. ? Battery does not charge completely ? The BMS could not recognize the battery properly and stop the charging process early. ? Rest current problems ? If the BMS considers the battery to be weak, it can keep consumers unnecessarily in readiness, which can lead to faster discharge. ? Start problems in cold weather ? Especially in winter the lower CCA can lead to difficulties in starting. 3. Can the BMS adapt? • The Spacetourer has a self-learning system, but: • The battery must provide the right parameters for the charging process. • A battery with too low cold start current (650A instead of 720-800A) may never be recognized as “fully charged”. • The BMS can learn, but a too weak battery cannot become “stronger”. 4. Conclusion – Can there be problems? Yes, there may be problems as your Citroën expects a battery with higher start current. • In the short term, it can work, but the battery can be nte wear out earlier and start stop could be permanently disabled. • In the long term, unexpected discharges, loading problems or error codes can occur in the BMS.

I have a rental car here, proace City, gasoline, probably 2024 or 2023. I want to convert one of the 12v sockets (in the center console or behind the right sliding door) or the usb socket at the back of the center console to continuous current. According to my previous research there could be a relay somewhere, soft can be replaced with a bridge. Only I have not been able to get out where the corresponding relay is. Can someone help me? Please no discussion about the purpose of shutting down whether this is OK with rental cars and the meaning of the whole action ?? Best regards from the South d. S.

Hello municipality! I picked up my professional expert HDI 145 today. I have already customized the 2 displays so far, Tacho and tachometer he has already once again as a circular instrument. Only the Bimmelei with speed overruns has annoyed, is now only optically available. Can you switch this off permanently or decode it, since it is active again at every start? From 1km/h above is already quite annoying. Greeting Uwe

For almost 3 weeks now the Zafira Life M Tourer (2.0 177ps automatic) has been in my possession. Today the letter/deed from customs came to the motor vehicle tax collection… What surprises me is that for the Zafira 392€ annually is estimated. Everywhere on the Internet the 366€ per year is due. Although it is only a small surcharge, nevertheless the stated CO2 emissions of 196g/km, which also stands in the vehicle certificate part 1. This is also for every gram what about So in this case 101g x 2€ = 202€ (CO2 tax) + 190€ (hubspace tax) = 392€ total. Does someone happen to have a Zafira Life with the 177Ps machine and can I confirm the amount or is there an error with me ?

Hello, today I had the attached error message (see picture) in combination with a warning sound when starting the engine. On the way home I stopped the vehicle again and started again, the same again. The vehicle has already suggested the next workshops as destination in the Navi. The vehicle has only been registered since November and 2500km driven. I then went to the Opel workshop and the error message was just gone again… the workshop could not do anything today. I was told that if no more errors are shown, I can continue to drive and only if the error comes back in the meantime to another Opel dealer in the workshop. The error message might have come due to some humidity or something, which is why it is just gone again… did the vehicle start again tonight, no error message. Do I have to worry about it? Did I have to read it and also because of the electrician’s vacation at the earliest next week? Do you ever have such an experience with such an error message?

Have the following problem: wheel nuts in front left have solved, 2 lost, 1 torn off. Strong noise, guess first wheel bearing, wheel hung finally only loosely on 2 screws, rim holes oval…. Now car in front mounted, need in any case new hub since thread broken. Sample with mounted car (front wheels dismantled): Wheels turn at inserted gear but at speed 1500 rpm no further increase possible. No unusual noises (e.g. from wheel position) r) readable. As mentioned: At about 1500 u/min is the end. If I take out the gear also high speed possible. But if I press the clutch (without inserting the gear), again only low speed is possible, motor is not to bring about 1500 u/min. I don’t understand that. Why with gear or pressed coupling only about 1500 u/min?? If (in case of standing motor) a gear is inserted the drive shaft can be turned. Should the gear not be blocked? What is there? what could be broken, maybe it has something to do with ABS or slip control (if the car has such a thing at all)? By the way: Bjh 2021, 1,5 D, identical to Peugeot Expert, Citroen Spacetourer, Fiat Talento. Who can help?
