Thanks to Kevin for clearing up my misunderstanding re. turbo on C5. When I changed from my 1.9 Xantia turbo diesel to 2.0 C5 HDi , I complained to the MAIN...
Hi, My windscreen washers have both stopped working - I hear the motor whirring, but nothing happens except the service light comes on. The pasenger side went...
... Wiper problem. Try disconnecting pipe under bonnet at drivers side rear- next to windscreen and check for water when washer is activated.mine did this and...
Peter., Is yours the 90 BHP engine or the 110 BHP version? The 110 has pretty reasonable performance but the 90BHP one can feel pretty sluggish as the C5 is a...
Hello Everybody, ... I totally concur with Graham. My V6 averages 28mpg and I don't spare the horses! I also get 32 - 33mpg driving gently on holiday. My old...
The depollution error message does not always indicate there's a (serious) problem abord. It can be provokes by specific circumstances (humidity, engine...
Hey Dennis If the pump runs, but nothing comes out at the front it will come out at the back. There is indeed a sticking valve that switches between front and...

Thanks Paul and Bob for your answers. Two follow-on questions: 1. I have a 2001 hatch, so no rear wiper or jet - I guess that means no sticky valve? 2. "hat is...
Hi Trev. My car is the 2.0 HDi 110 bhp. which I deliberately chose because of towing a caravan. The Xantias turbo used to really GO. I think the problem lay in...
Trev, you have a misconception of what is a Turbo and what is an Intercooler.. A Turbo is one thing, a Supercharger is another thing and an Intercooler is a...
On boosting the performance I think we could seperate engines that are suitable from those that are less suitable. I feel that he 'old' 2 ltr diesel can be...
Sorry but an intercooler does not cool the turbo it cools the air passing into the turbo. Cooled air is denser so the intercooler packs more air through the...
Costas, Thanks for your help with "my confusion"....but i'm not actually confused at all. Im a Proffessional Mechanical Engineer and the Engineering Manager at...
Hi Guys, Chris its good to know that i am not the only fool around here to have bought a V6! When i first mentioned this to friends, they all thought that i...
Hi all. The intercooler is AFTER the turbo before the inlet manifold and its duty is to cool the air so as to cram more oxygen in the engine to give increased...
Trev, Agree about the 90bhp engine. My father-in-law drives a 2.0HDi 90bhp Xsara (different car but same engine as the C5). He often complains about lack of...
Jonathon, I own the 110 BHP C5....just (only just) enough performance for the big heavy body. I have also driven the 90 BHP version. Its not up to the task in...
No Costas, the intercooler is AFTER the turbo & there to cool the air increasing the density of the charge into the combustion chamber, thereby raising ...
Hi Rob, Good speech! I was beginning to think i was going mad. Its nice to know that at least one other person on this forum actually understands his subject. ...
... another question whilst all minds are on this topic. On my 2.2HDi manual (2001 build) the intercooler seems to be sitting next to the radiator (in fact it...
Dear All, If it's any consolation I was told by the salesman at Citroen London West that my HDI does not have a turbo. So it's no surprise that this...
On my C5 , the intercooler is sitting also next to the radiator ( in fact usually it is somewhere there in other cars, or in front of the radiator, behind the...
There is no 'damp' at the bottom of my intercooler - but rather a thick build up of oil. It's the strangest thing - as if the car is leaking oil from the...
Hi, Had a similar problem with my diesel additive. Filled at 50k and getting warning messages at 70k! Suspected the dealer might have forgotten to fill it up!...
Hello Everybody, ... Fool? Certainly not! On the contrary, I think that the V6 is the clever buy. As with hydraulic Citroens in general, most people seem to...
About the intercooler part: Yes, it indeed cools the air the turbine compressed (and therefore heated), but it has little to do with increasing the efficiency...
Thanks for that, John! Like you, I've been having my suspicions about whether the car was actually topped up at 50,000 miles when the filter was changed...
