I'm sure I'll be back in a hydraulic Citroen someday. in the meantime I'll have to make do with one of those SUV's that I promised myself I'd never have. A Dodge Journey for hauling 7 & the camper...

After 3 years I'm no longer a Citroen owner as i traded the 10 yr old C5 this week.
There are really only 2 reasons I'm not still in a new Citroen,
1) They dropped the best feature - hydraulic...

Following a flat battery last night, it put a fresh one in & the above fault code appeared, and of course, the car won't start!
Is there a reset procedure for the ECU or similar that i can try?
...

Thanks Guys,
I'll start checking wires.......

Hi all, the rear wiper on the '03 C5 wagon keeps self deploying and i can't work out how to stop it.
It goes every time i open the tail gate, most times when i select reverse, often when i unlock &...

I've noted there are plenty of posts regarding C5's and their gremlins, i've made the odd one myself, but after clocking up about 43,000km in the 2 years I've had the car i thought it time to give it...

Hi all,

a couple of years back i successfully replaced the MOSFET on the Climate control fan module of the C5. It's been ok till now.
The green plug has now melted and cooked itself to the...

Thanks for that, most places just want to sell something straight off their shelves.

Can anyone tell me where i can buy the correct factory spec fluid in Victoria?

So far every where i go they don't want to know about it.

My 2.o petrol wagon (4sp auto 03 model) is quite good on fuel (for a non diesel) with about 6.5 to 8 l/100 depending how & where you drive it. Up to 900km on a trip. It hasn't got a heavy engine up...

Well, the C5 is back, having received a transmission service and thats about it. they were quite forthcoming that the fault code was inconclusive & left them little to go on.

Car is driving fine...

I'm ringing them tomorrow to arrange pick up & payment etc (the dealer is 180km away)
I'll let you know the details. I think they have just done a basic fluid/filter type change, which to me is just...

Dealer got back to me today, they can't find any fault codes in the computer and the transmission seems to be running fine. They are going to do a service, which seems to be just a fluid change...

My wife and i got an opportunity to check out the current C5 at a dealers the other week while there for a function. We didn't drive it, so perhaps i'm missing it's strongest point, but from a...

Thanks guys for the extra info, i do recall that there has been plenty of discussion in the past but i couldn't find much, perhaps it got lost when the site crashed.
I'll be ringing Wodonga Car...

Thanks guys for the advice, yes i thought it might be something like that, but i couldn't find much using the search feature.
Time to book in a trip somewhere to get it checked out. And yech, the...

Hi all, i'm guessing from what i've read in the past this may not be uncommon, but for the first time in the 40,000+ kms i've has the C5 i may have an issue with the Auto.

It's a 2003 2 litre auto...

not at all,

you are merely preparing me for future possiblities as a c5 owner......

Hi all,

an odd thing on my 2003 C5...

I've noticed recently that although the door activated interior lights work fine, the front and rear switchable map lights and the sunvisor vanity lights...

I've also got an 03 c5 with the 16v auto that does this too. It's one of the few things that makes me want to sell the car a t times. (along with the turning circle of a house boat and not being able...
