Berlingo wet timing belt

My friend has a 2018 Berlingo with around 110,000 km and a PureTech engine. A little while ago, I told him about the wet timing belt issue, so we decided to check it.
Honestly, I don't think it looks very good, but I'd like to get a second opinion. Do you think it's in really bad shape?
I think he'll end up taking it to a garage, but he's planning to use it for a couple of short trips first. Do you think it will hold up until then?
I've attached some photos. Thanks in advance!

Oil type for a Citroen C3 pure tech 18 plate

I am not good with cars, could someone explain to me in simple terms if this is ok or not:

Got an alert for the oil so checked it. Dipstick was near dry. Was visiting my parents and my dad had some spare oil 10W-40 that he's put in for now as he felt any oil was better than no oil

Google seems to indicate my car needs 5W-30. Do I need to take the car to a garage for a complete oil change as this seems to be the wrong oil or can I mix oil types

Trunk is back in business!

Locked myself out of the trunk a while back. Got to pulling the lock cilinder. Then drilled through the press in part of the lock.. broke a damn bit inside before getting through.

All in all happy with the replacement parts. Got the lock to seat good and the retaining clip to sit perfectly.

Eventhough there is an 80 Liter LPG tank in there it's still an impressive trunk.

What Do I Need To Diagnose ADAS/ABS Failure As It Happens?

Hi - I have a 2025 Citroen Dispatch/Spacetourer that has taken to throwing ADAS failures on long journeys.

I will get ABS, Adaptive Cruise, lane keep assist, traction control, TPMS, etc etc failure codes - but as soon as I turn off and back on it comes good. (Edited to remove a duplicate reference to ABS)

I'm assuming if I just pull over and plug in an OBD scanner that should be enough to catch what is going on before the faults clear. Do I need anything fancier like a Diagbox or secure gateway access or just a basic ODB scanner ?

Been to the dealer, they couldn't read anything or replicate so I want to catch in real time.

thanks!

Reading fuel pressure using an OBD2 scanner

I have a 2012 Citroen DS3 1.6 THP (the notoriously bad Prince engine, don't come for me!) and it's showing all the signs of a high pressure fuel pump failure. I know this is a common thing so I want to just make sure it is before I start paying to get it replaced.

A bit of background first however. This car has not been on the road for two years. My Dad was fixing it up as it had all sorts of issues and got them all sorted. He got ill and the car sat in the garage for months and months and then it started misfiring on cold (on one cylinder). Plugs and coils replaced, and new fuel injectors on cylinder 2 and 4. There has been the error code for low pressure come up a couple of times on my OBD 2 scanner when I've started it up, but this is sporadic and does not happen every time. For clarity, the car is still off the road (no MOT or tax etc) it's sat on my drive so has not been anywhere.

I would very much like to check the fuel pressure to see if this is actually what the problem is. I have a Motopower scanner model number MP69033 and I have NO CLUE how to get to the fuel pressure reading bit! Does anyone know where this is on this OBD2 model? I don't need to see exact figures, just if the pressure drops when I rev the car.

If you know, please tell me as I cannot find anything it seems on trusty YouTube.

Piston rod torque setting eb2dt hnz

Ds ds3 1.2 puretech 110hp

Posted a few times in here already was planning on rebuilding today but was going back over a few bit to check.

I've struggled to find the torque settings for the piston rod bolts. The Haynes manual is shit, when I search for piston rod torque it showed me the big end bearing which is

15nm then 120 degrees..

I did that foolishly even though I thought it might not be right. Doubting myself i then later saw on Google a post saying it was

38nm

So first thing today I decided to retorque the bolts to that..

Hey presto I immediately snapped the first bolt while torquing it.

When I removed the other bolt and compared it to a bolt I had from a broken piston it's obvious that I've stretched the bolt 0.254mm compared to a bolt that had previously been torqued correctly in engine.

Clearly all the bolts are trash now and need replacing

What would be the correct or even just a reasonable torque setting for this?

XSARA WHEELS SHIFTING INSIDE : THE CURSE

Yay.

My 2003 xsara revealed its rear wheels curse. Looks like the axle is kinda bending, both rear. I bought the car 1 month ago. Should the technical control notice it or may it have appear within the past month ?

Can’t use remote features of app?

could really do with using the remote features for charging on the app, but for e-c3, it’s supposed to set up automatically, but everything just shows unavailable. The information here is just from putting in my VIN. Am I missing something, because there’s clearly no settings on the car system. I can’t see charging progress, it just says unavailable, can’t see what the charge is, it doesn’t set location, I had to do that.

Problème P2562, Peugeot 1.6hdi 92cv, 2012

Bonjour,

Je me permets de vous contacter car j’ai un problème avec ma 207 1.6 hdi 92cv, 2012, 171 000km.

J’ai un voyant moteur orange qui est apparut (au début par intermittence après 45 min de route, puis maintenant permanent..).
J’ai pu passer un diagnostic c’est indiqué « P2562, actionneur du turbocompresseur trop fermé par rapport la valeur de référence ».
Pas de gros symptôme mais j'ai toujours trouvé la voiture un peu "molle".

Quelqu’un peut-il m’aider ?

Je vous remercie par avance.

Cannot change my 2023 eBerlingo to mph/miles

I've obviously tried going to settings, system configuration, units. But it only lists kilometres.

I've tried multiple things that Google AI suggested but half the time I think it was referring to another vehicle.

I've attached photos of the display my dashboard. Apologies it's so dark it's late here.

Any ideas? Thanks

It's still under warranty but I don't want to go back to the dealer for this one issue (it's not close by and I'll need time off work).

Car advice

Hi guys, I have a long drive tomorrow and was checking over my car but I'm afraid I don't know anything about cars, I noticed this pipe/hose was detatched, was looking for advice if this is something that needs to be looked at or is intentional. 2011 Citroën C3

Advice on instrument panel DS3

I bought a 62 plate ds3 and it seems the fuel part of the panel isn’t working completelyz

The Numbers are not fully complete numbers and neither is the fuel level completely showing when I fill up.

when it tells me to change gear parts of the numbers are missing, it does not show me the fuel range at all, all numbers only show as partial.

Please could anyone advise me if I need a new panel or if it is the l.e.ds.

Thanks

How do I update the firmware/software on a 2016 Citroen C4?

Hey all, I recently bought a 2016 Citroen C4 from its original owner — an older lady who I don't think ever bothered with software updates. So I'm guessing everything (infotainment, nav maps, etc.) is still running whatever it shipped with from the factory. Any tips from people who've done this on a C4 (or similar Citroen/PSA model) would be great. Thanks!
