Citroen Xsara

If the bonnet catch is missing on a Citroen Xsara, you can try to gently pull up on the bonnet itself while someone else pushes down on the front to relieve tension. Alternatively, you may need to access the latch mechanism directly from underneath the car, using a flashlight to locate it. If these methods do not work, consider seeking assistance from a mechanic to avoid damaging the vehicle.

In a 2010 Citroën Picasso, the radio fuse is typically located in the fuse box, which can be found under the dashboard on the driver's side. To access the fuse box, you may need to remove a cover panel. The specific fuse for the radio is usually labeled in the fuse box diagram, which is often found on the inside of the cover or in the owner's manual. If you're unsure, it's a good idea to consult the manual for the exact fuse location and specifications.

The timing belt on a Citroën Xsara Picasso 2.0 HDi should typically be changed every 100,000 miles or every 10 years, whichever comes first. However, it's always best to consult the owner's manual or a qualified mechanic for specific recommendations, as driving conditions and maintenance history can affect the timing belt's lifespan. Regular inspections can help ensure the belt is in good condition.

To remove the front wing of a Citroën Picasso, first, ensure the vehicle is on a stable surface and disconnect the battery. Remove any necessary components such as the wheel arch liner, bumper, and any clips or screws securing the wing. Then, carefully unbolt the wing from the body using the appropriate tools, and gently pull it away from the vehicle, taking care not to damage surrounding parts. Finally, reinstall the new wing by reversing the process.

The beeping sound when you turn on the ignition of a Citroën Xsara Picasso typically serves as a warning or reminder. It may indicate that the seatbelt is not fastened, the door is ajar, or that there are other alerts such as low fuel or an issue with the vehicle's systems. This sound is designed to ensure the driver is aware of any conditions that need attention for safety. If the beeping persists without any obvious cause, it might be worth consulting the owner's manual or a mechanic for further investigation.

To replace the front indicator bulb on a Citroën Xsara Picasso, start by opening the hood and locating the headlight assembly. Remove the cover or access panel to reach the bulb holder. Twist the bulb holder counterclockwise to release it, then remove the old bulb and replace it with a new one, ensuring it’s securely in place before reassembling the components. Finally, test the indicator to ensure it’s functioning correctly.

The fuel pump relay on a Citroën Xsara Picasso is typically located in the fuse box under the dashboard on the driver's side. You may need to remove the cover of the fuse box to access the relays. It's advisable to consult the owner's manual for the exact location and diagram specific to your model year, as variations can occur.

On a 2004 Citroën Xsara, the gearbox drain plug is typically located on the bottom of the gearbox casing. You may need to raise the vehicle to access it easily, and it usually requires a specific socket or wrench to remove. Always ensure the vehicle is securely supported before attempting any maintenance, and check your owner's manual for specific details related to your model.

If the side and brake lights on a Citroën Xsara Picasso remain illuminated without the lights being turned on, it could be due to a faulty switch, such as a stuck brake light switch or a malfunctioning lighting control module. Additionally, a wiring issue or a short circuit could lead to unintended activation of the lights. It's advisable to inspect these components to diagnose and resolve the problem.

If the brake lights on your 1998 Citroen Xsara were working and now they are not, but the bulbs are fine, the issue may be with the brake light switch. The brake light switch is a small electrical component located near the brake pedal that activates the brake lights when the pedal is pressed. It is common for these switches to fail over time, resulting in non-functional brake lights. I recommend checking the brake light switch and replacing it if necessary to restore proper brake light functionality.

Ah, finding the fuel filter on your Citroen Xsara can be like finding a happy little tree in the forest. It's actually located underneath the car, near the rear right wheel. Just take your time, stay calm, and you'll discover it peacefully. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents.

Inside the wheel well there is a small cover plate with 2 plastic screws which must be turned a quarter turn. The plate then comes out. Pull the plug off the back of the bulb. There is then a plastic collar which must be turned counter clockwise. To install, do the same in reverse.

Remove long piece of trim which will then allow you access to the fixing bolts.

Remove these bolts and the belt will come out

You have to remove the light cluster which is behind the luggage compartment side trim, disconnect the wiring plug ,then remove the light bulb unit after undoing the plastic wing nut,now remove the whole light unit,you can then gain access to the bulb you require by unscrewing the bulbholder retaining nut from its shell .

The handbrake cables are adjusted by a nut behind the handbrake lever.

Basically remove the centre console section of interior between the two front seats, its fairly easy to do this. Then jack up back of the car and place on axle stands so both wheels are off the floor (remembering to take relevant safety precautions, like putting car into gear, and chocking front wheels for example).

Once this interior trim is removed, pump the brake pedal a few times, then pull handbrake lever up and back down 10 times.

Now pull up handbrake lever to the first 'click' on ratchet, take a deep socket on a ratchet (cant remember size sorry, possibly 13mm but not sure) and tighten the nut on the thread, then go and check if the wheel can or can't spin. Don't over tighten and release nut again a bit if need be, you want to be able to just turn the wheel by hand when on first click.

It's for the emissions (anti pollution) tester. will come on if there is a problem/fault with the exhaust/filter etc etc. So basically-an environment factor!

Hope this helps!
