You can try Ebay (look for people breaking Galaxys, sharans, or Alhambra's ) or your local breakers. Check it is the correct version....there are at least 2 different ones. However these are very common failures and a lot of people are looking for them......good luck. You may be better trying to repair it !

A picture would be nice.....saves anyone getting confused about colour material etc.

What are you using to measure the speed 50mph ?

The clock and its surround unclip See Here !

Shouldn't be much difference for same spec and mileage.....about

Is the fan ( or fans ) working behind the radiator.....should be when aircon is on.

It could be one of several things.....does the air con unit flash for a while ( 10 seconds or so) when you turn the ignition on ?

You need to find out why your Climate Control unit is flashing. It could be one of many faults.....any of which could stop the compressor starting. I would suggest running diagnostics on your air con system to identify the problem. This can be done either professionally or diy using vagcom (look it up) or similar.

First question would be which model radio is it ? Then is there a seperate amplifier powering the speakers ?

Nope ! Assuming you are using a remote key it could be a key fault. It is most likely to be a fault with the controller unit under the passenger seat.

Actually its not that bad.......most vehicles have a lot more recalls.

Compliments from our friends in Holland Click Me !

It may not rattle and squeak......but I would read item 2 on the link below LINK

An H rating is for up to 130mph.......you should be ok. I doubt you will be driving in excess of this speed.. :)

The "piston" on the clutch (and brake) switch is self adjusting. Hold the clutch ( or brake) pedal down and pull the switch piston out to it full length ( can be a bit stiff). When you let go the pedal the piston will be pushed back in to its correct position. Its on a ratchet type movement. Sometimes if something gets wedged ( I'm thinking big feet here ! ) between the pedal and the switch piston it can be pushed too far back in and this causes the original problem.

An update. Go into Engine .....Meas. Blocks Go up to group 06 You have 4 sets of data. 1st set is your speed... 2nd set is the brake/clutch pedal switches 1st Digit is the clutch 2nd and 3rd are the brake switches....don't know which one is which....will find out sometime. 3rd set is binary digits representing the output state of the switches. 1st Digit = 1 when clutch pressed. 2nd Digit = 1 when brake pressed. 3rd Digit =1 when Reset switch is pressed. 4th Digit = 1 when Accelerate/Set switch is pressed. 5th Digit = 1 when cruise is on and = 0 when cruise is off or when off button is gently pushed to deactivate but not turn off the cruise control. 6th Digit =1 when cruise control switch is set to on. Any of these behaving incorrectly would indicate a faulty switch or wiring... 4th set is cruise control state not sure of the logic behind the numbers on this. 0.0 definitely means it is off but 1.0 doesn't necessarily mean that its on ? All the above refers to my MK1 Tdi but is likely to be pretty much identical in the Mk2's. Hope this helps :)

If you use vagcom and go into the measurement block ( I think under engine ) there is a section where one of them is for cruise control. It has binary bits ( 1's and 0's ) that relate to the various switches and pedals. You can use this to check they all work. ie if you press the brake pedal a certain digit changes from 0 to 1 ( or vice versa ). The same for the set/reset on/off switches and clutch pedal. Easy way to eliminate any electric faults.

No......don't go Stevie.....you'll be missed :) Best of luck anyway and hope all is well. Kev p.s. .... Can you take a few others with you :)

You need to get this looked at asap.........scrap engine time if it goes.

Get rid of the Citroen :P

The aircon system has a condenser ( big radiator at front of vehicle ) which gets hot and requires cooling. The condenser is in front of the ordinary water radiator and they are both cooled by a large fan ( possibly 2 fans ). It is likely your aircon is ok when the vehicle is cold but as the condenser and radiator get hot the fan is unable to cope ( will be worse in hot weather ). The flow of air through the radiator when driving at speed should be sufficient to cool them down but the fan may still be needed. At low speeds the fan is definitely needed.

They appear quite regularly on ebay Although they usually go for more than the example below. Example

I believe they disabled the rear quarter lights as they deemed them to be a security risk.

Most likely the key is faulty......it is not communicating with the vehicle. The 5 flashes just means the key has gone through the programming sequence it has no means of detecting whether the vehicle has accepted it. You need to watch the led on the drivers door to see if the key has been accepted.
