Car Forum / Citroen Cars / February 2007C5 gone flat.
No not the tyres or the battery, but the engine. It wont accellerate until the revs are above the 2500- 3000 rpm mark, then it kicks in & flies as normal. I have just tonight had the'service' light & the engine symbol come on. Yes i know i have to take it to the Citroen hospital, but its Sunday tomorrow. Any ideas guys ? Cheers.

Zaza and Kiki must have done something to the engine. <http://www.thechestnut.com/hector.htm>  Signature-- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ > Oh sorry, 2L hdi diesel. I am a silly old Hector. MAP/T (manifold air temp and pressure) sensor wire come adrift (£small), or variable geometry turbo not varying it's geometry (£large) .... your friends at citroen with the computer will tell you all I'm sure ... bonne chance S Mmmm, cheers, it's gonna be the expensive one, knowing my luck. Cheers, we'll see on Tuesday. >> Oh sorry, 2L hdi diesel. I am a silly old Hector. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > S > Mmmm, cheers, it's gonna be the expensive one, knowing my luck.

If it is the turbo if its in warranty then no problems. if its out of warranty get one from a written off C5 and just get it fitted by a local garage that you trust to do work and it should be fine :o) Well, it turned out that the 'air volume sensor', was faulty. So that was changed at a cost of £99. Very nice, BUT, now the turbo is screaming it's head off. I mean, it sounds like an American police siren. I have been quoted £650 to change it, by a Citroen specialist. I cant sell it with this noise so the guy told me to pull the plug out of the sensor & try it. I did, but the whistle is still there with no power. So i replaced the plug & now the service light has come back on with the engine symbol. The screen is showing "Anti pollution fault". Come on Adrian mate, whats the problem & what can i do ? Cheers. Ray > No not the tyres or the battery, but the engine.

For them to have changed the sensor I imagine they would have disturbed the intake system considerably - make sure they've done every thing back up! If it wasn't whistling before, and now it's whistling with AND without sensor connected it must be something they've done ... > Well, it turned out that the 'air volume sensor', was faulty.

No it was not whistling before, the guy said that with the air volume thingy working now, it has made the turbo work where it was not working before. I think its BS myself, yes it points to something he has done. Ray > Did it make this noise before? > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >>> symbol come on.
