Climate Control Fault?

$
0
0
Having read of others having problems with the climate control, and never really been convinced of my cars effectiveness in this area- I thought I would conduct a little test.
Putting the temp setting to Hi on the drivers side and fan speed on full- I can get warmish air from the outer vent near the windscreen, but only cold air from the centre vent. Is this normal? Have I missed a setting? Is my ECU faulty too?

Genuine front parking sensors, can be fitted?

$

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if it's possible to fit genuine front parking sensors on a C4 Gp 1.6 eHDI of year 2012 that has already original rear parking sensors fitted by the factory.
I made a search in the various threads of the forum but I can't get a clear picture.
Since the rear sensors are present, fully integrated with the on board computer and the display I think that the front sensor connection should be already available on the parking sensor module. I assume that the missing parts must be the front sensors with cable loom and enable/disable switch located at the panel with the eco off, fuel door etc. If the above are correct does this upgrade need a Citroen expert to add/enable the new feature?
Has anyone done this upgrade on his vehicle?
Where is the parking module located?
A lot of questions but I would applicate very much If anyone could share info!
Best regards
Yannis

Can anyone disprove my assertion Citroen SatNav is "[%*^#@!]"

at least I didn't pay extra for it. Looks like it's back to my Android phone & mount. Not a great advert.

1) Screen input is [%*^#@!]. I see the button flash, but no letter appears. Have to try again.
2) Have tried to locate POIs by name (Walsall Arboretum, National Museum of computing) nothing found. So used phone to get postcode (and may as well have used it to navigate)
3) Patchy speed limit signs - despite the fact my phone *does* display speed limits for the same road. Before getting this Citroen (it's our 3rd) I put my phone in "drive" mode, and it just showed limits almost everywhere.

Honestly, when run against a free app (er that's "HERE" maps, which is what Citroen claim to use) on a £100 smartphone, I really can't score the Citroen offering at all. It's embarrassingly naff.

I only paid for the option pack to get adaptive cruise control (which I am happy with).

My advice ? Don't pay extra for the supplied satnav, unless you are looking for another feature. If you just want satnav, get a 5" Android phone, and a decent mount.

(I'm hoping someone will reply to this, calling me a [%*^#@!] [%*^#@!], saying I should RTFM and that I can fix all my gripes)

Upgrade my old Citroen grand picasso c4

I'm waiting for my new citroen grand Picasso c4 (already ordered), but yesterday I was informed that new grand Picasso is coming in September. I was just wondering if any of new equipment (new software, automatic break, blind spots ...) can be integrated in my old grand Picasso. For additional payment of course. Does anyone has any idea?

Massage seats on 2014 Grand Picasso

I'm having the new car serviced next monday. Tried the massage seats and the only thing it seems to do is pump the lumbar in and out repetitively.

Is there anything else supposed to happen in the seat base or higher up the back. If so then I want to get it fixed (still under warranty)

Thanks in advance

Rear Seat DVDs

Has anyone installed any aftermarket DVD screens in their B78 GP yet?

I installed headrest monitors and a double din screen in the previous non-Citroen car and it was a god send for trips with 3 kids behind.

Initial thoughts, and I haven't had a god nosey, is to replace the dome light with a drop down DVD unit. Not looking to put in headrest monitors cos I don't want to butcher the relax headrests unless I find a spare set in case things go badly wrong.

Front indicator bulb - where to buy?

$

Hi guys,

I have a 2011 C4GP with LED DRLs. One of my front indicator bulbs blew last night so as I was passing Halfords I popped in to buy a replacement. Their system told me to buy amber bulb type 581 (PY21W) so I did and merrily carried on my way home. When I got home I set about swapping the bulb to find that the bulbs are completely different. In fact working out which bulb type I need involved quite an extensive web search (even FAQ #47 on this website is wrong) and I've settled on an obscure type 433D amber BAY9S. Halfords don't look to keep these in stock (only the clear version) and I can't think where else to try except the dealer. My local dealer is not open when I'm near home and every other dealer near work or on my journey between home and work adds over an hour to my day.

Am I now actually looking for the correct bulb type and does anyone know where I might get one from other than having to visit a dealer? The amber version is definitely not common - even Auto Bulbs Direct only carry the clear version.

Fitting a microphone to the panel in the roof

Hi

I have a kenwood radio that I had in my last C4 (2005) and just bought another car (2009) and want to fit the microphone properly to the roof.

I have searched but cant find good instructions for what trim it is best to remove, or even how to remove the plastic around the roof lights where the mic goes.

Are there any good picture tutorials out there on how to run a mic cable from the back of the radio right up to the roof?

Any help appreciated!

Broken tailgate window

Hi,

I came home yesterday evening to find my tailgate window smashed - only got the car brand new the weekend before last! Nothing was taken and there appears to be no attempt to try to get in. It's as if the glass has totally shattered.

What I wanted to ask was - and as it's so strange is there any possibility the glass could have been installed incorrectly and stressed? Anyone else had their window go like this?

Thanks for any replies

C4 1.6HDi spinning noise on deceleration????

$
0

Hi everyone.

I'm a newbie here and would be really grateful of any help you can give. I've scoured Google but have had no luck with solving this problem.

I have a 2005 C4 1.6HDi (110) with 65K on the clock. I've only had it about a year, but since not long after getting it I started getting a spinning noise on deceleration and sometimes briefly on engaging the clutch. I decided it was the clutch and would wait and see what happened. So, when last months the clutch started slipping on acceleration I changed the clutch and DMF, thinking that it would solve the problem (also changed timing belt and water pump at same time). Took it out for a test drive once the clutch was done and nooooooooo, the noise was still there.

My biggest worry it that it is still clutch related and that this clutch won't last as long as it should. Unlikely as the clutch functions perfectly well with no slip on acceleration, but can't face the idea of taking the gearbox out again (a right pig of a job) and spending more ££££££££££

Another theory is the alternator clutch pulley, but I've not looked at that yet.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Question about front brake pads replacement

$

0
Hi,

My car is a 1.6 VTR Petrol. I have all the stuff required for a front brake disc and pad replacement. I got the pads from Citroen and inside, apart from the pads, there are 8 spring clips and 2 caliper bolts with pre-applied glue (the ones that go onto the slider pins)
My question is, should I not replace the 4 bolts instead of just 2? By the way, I have a medium strength loctite stick, could I not just use that on the 2 of the old bolts?

Many thanks

P1339 Error and resolution?

$

Hi all, I've had a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 1.6 Petrol 120 VTI (2010) for a couple of years now, and was giving us error free driving for about 20 months (we put 15,000km on the car since buying). The past couple of months, we've had continual P1339 errors appearing, and the car stutters (misfiring) and the fan kicks in permanently and runs for about 10-15 minutes after the car is switched off.

I've read numerous posts on this forum, and on the internet about this error, and there seems to be many things that could possibly be wrong.

We have taken the car to our local Citroen Main Dealer (it has full Citroen main dealer history, and has been serviced regularly) to check it out, and they've swapped out the Injector Coil (first, only cylinder 3, but then all of them in an attempt to resolve the issue). The car has been into the main dealer 4 times now for the same fault, and we're no closer to getting the issue resolved, and at this point have lost all confidence in driving the car at all (we drive regularly from Maastricht in Netherlands to Norfolk in UK).

I'm going to give the garage one last try to see if they can fix the issue before we take drastic measures of scrapping/we buy any car etc) and getting something else.

What other things have people seen, or could I suggest the guys in the garage look at?

1. Injector Coils have been replaced (initially only 1, but then all 4).
2. Spark Plugs have been replaced (unsure of type, have seen Bosch recommended?)
3. ECU was updated

I have read that this appears quite common on this BMW/PSA 1.6 VTI Engine, and the following have been suggested;

1. Lambda/O2 sensor
2. Fuel Pump
3. Fuel Filter
4. Engine Mounts unstable/worn
5. Camshaft sensor (this admittedly from a BMW forum on this engine type).

Thanks in advance for any help that could be shed on the issue..

Adrian.

Electrical issues all round

Hi folks, in past 2 months my 63plate diesel C4P has been into the garage several times and today capped it all. This started with display telling me I had no brakes and when RAC came their computer said that 3 wheels were reading 0kph and one was reading 663kph whilst parked in my drive! Rear wheel sensor was faulty hence brake issue. Then whilst in the garage getting that repaired a new ball was going to be fitted into clutch assembly at master cylinder. This would be the car's third, but garage found that the last one had not been fitted correctly and a new master cylinder had to come from France. Since then the car has been plagued with an intermittent issue when in Eco mode and it stalls out rather than restart. However as my damn car's computer hasn't logged these the garage cannot take any warranty action, even though they are aware of problems with tensioners around the altenator system. One C4P was already in the garage after having been damaged by a fault connected to this sysytem.

Any other C4P owners affected by similar issues?

Depolluton System Faulty

So on my way home from our holidays and 15 miles from home and on pops the MIL light followed by a blip then a message "Depollution System Fault", Grr.
I got the car home and the next day I plugged in my code reader to find the code P2032.
Thanks to having paid for my membership on this site I was able to find out the reason behind this code.
I have only had this car since the end of January so it still have a warranty on it but I don't believe that sensors are covered.
I have read a few posts on here saying that it could be many different things but the code relates to a sensor on the downstream of the DPF. I have contacted my local main stealer and they have to me that the part (the sensor) is a non stocked item and would be a special order item that costs £85 but is a non refundable item.
Has anybody actually managed to fix this and if so what was it?
