Re: C5 Aircross Automatic Passive DPF Regens.

Simply put the design of the 1.5 is such that the cat and the DPF are vertical and at the front of the engine and are combined into one unit with separate components inside. Your previous 1.6 Blue HDI was a different engine design and therefore had the catalytic converter at the front, but the part...

Re: Scratches

There are on-line companies who can do this , like Chips Away. I've never used them but several people down our road have. May be worth a google search.

Re: Air Con Default Setting

Has anyone on here got a facelift cat that doesn't behave like this? If not I would suggest that this is not a fault and the system has been changed.

Re: Hi new to Forum

If the engine is off and the steering is moved the engine starts. However the Aircon being switched ON doesn't start my engine but I believe it should. Switching aircon on doesn't necessarily start the engine. It depends on whether starting the aircon actually demands that the compressor starts. If...

Re: Hi new to Forum

It is sensitive to climate control. The c/c works by switching on and off intermittently. The stop/start may well work if the c/c is off at that time, and the engine will probably sart when c/c cuts in.

Re: 8th gear

Don't know if this helps as I don't have automatic box on Citroen BUT (and its a big but) on my MB you can make it drop into a higher gear by flicking the + on the paddles. normally it won't do 7th gear until 50mph but you can make it change up into 7th as low as 45mph (it also works for all the ot...

The temerature is the outside temperature as the sensor is a little dome on the bottom of the driver's side mirror. The colour of the car should make no difference.

Re: Air Con Default Setting

My C3 is the same, but it appears that it is 2022 cars that are affected. It may be a new initiative to save fuel by aircon not being on automatically at start-up. Oddly, my daughter's Captur is the other way round. If you switch off and start the engine again, the aircon always switches on, whether...

Re: 8th gear

I had a Peugeot 308 Auto as a loan car. I found that on the motorway it wouldn't change up into 8th until nearly 70mph.

Re: C5 plug in hybrid

I have posted on this kind of issue before. The figures quoted for PHEVs are a joke. The figures quoted should be based on use of the petrol engine only, and if this were done thinks would be far less opaque. How on earth do they manage to calculate 189 mpg.
