Citroen C4 Grand Picasso: C4 Grand Picasso, aircon mode change doesn't work

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 05:37:42 -0700

Hi,

Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2010, 1.6L, EGS.

The air stopped blowing out of the outlets, the garage says the engine that changes the mode (top, middle, bottom) has a broken piece of plastic but they need to replace the whole module which costs above $1,000.

Anyone know where I can get a part?

Citroen C4 Grand Picasso: Instrument display has patches of bad pixels, what could I do?

Mon, 05 May 2025 11:44:51 -0700

There are some large splotches of dead pixels near the bottom of my digital instrument display. In an ideal world I would modify the software to move the display graphics outside of this area. Is there any chance I could do that?

Alternatively, it is feasible to swap the display out for another one?

It is fundamentally not right that I should have to buy a new car just because of some bad pixels on the instrument display.

Car is MkII (2014) 2.0HDi Blue 150, right-hand drive.

2010-Present Citroen C3: Why is my gearbox faulting?

Sat, 31 Dec 2022 08:10:38 -0700

I have a strange, intermittent issue, where my car (auto) fails to shift gears within the first 5 minutes of driving, but only during specific conditions. When it fails, there is a lurch forward, and a Gearbox fault digital warning appears. The SERVICE lamp also turns on. All I have to do though is pull over, and restart the engine. None of the warnings come back on, and the car doesn't experience a fault after that.

The problem: My car's gearbox faults

The conditions:

Cold, or just warmed up engine.
Going up hill

A mechanic has suggested I need a new gearbox - but I'm not sure it's specific to the gearbox itself. Before I spend a bunch of money on a new gearbox, does anyone have any ideas about what this is or how to fix it?
