Info Rapid

[Gareth]

Can you do it off of reg? I'm not at the car. It's 20 miles away. Appreciate the help.

Gareth,

Nothing at the moment about software for injectors, I can get a list of injector fault codes. Should that help you out let me know.

[Gareth]

Cheers bigfeet! Nothing on there that relates to my car and it running badly?

Service manager just called me. Hopefully it will be fixed sooner than the 31st.

[Bigfeet]

Does your motor have los of power or hesitation? There is an Info Rapid for that on post 3.

[Gareth]

It has loss of power. Have had hesitation. Saw that post. Waiting on dealer. Cheers mate.

Folks here's the pics of the gap i mentioned

Before cleaning


After with the almost 1cm gap between the two plastics and enough gap between body and plastic for crap to gather

[Gareth]

I'm sure there is a mention of this on the French forum in a link earlier in the thread, havnt double checked though.

looking aqgain at the pics it looks like the two peices should fit together. But which one has moved?

[Bigfeet]

Just checked the DS in the showroom and there is a small gap as shown between the sill protecter plastic and the arch liner. Without looking at others I would guess that this is normal. That said the gap on the DS here wouldn't take a key pushed in like in the pictures above.

Thanks Biggy. As I haven't taken off the plastic, i dont know whats behind or if it's a potential rust trap. the plastics look shaped as if to fit together which is confusing. Is the plastic sill cover just what it says?

Gareth iv'e been experienced a similiar problem with loss of power...More of a hesitation and misfiring at top end of the revs...Happens occasionally but not all the time...I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fuel rather than a fault with the car.

Be interested to find your results from dealer.

The black plastic that runs down the side of the car is the Sill protector, I can see where you comming from as they do look like they should meet. Could some other memners also have a quick look and see if their sill protectors are fitted the same way?

Clarky, have you seen the inforapids on the first page? I think they have been updated by Bigfeet. There is one on there than mentions about fuel and oil combo. Car is going in on monday for investigation. Hope the light doesnt go out between now and then.

I have had a similar problem. My whole car was vibrating when it had the loss of power, felt as if it had a meltdown or something without any warninglights turning on. My dealer contacted Citroën NL and they contacted Citroën France. After all they replaced the turbo because this problem could be caused by vibrations of the wastegate.
After this this problem never happend again.

Okay guys, the way I do the Info Rapids (IR's) is going to change because of the way the new Citroen Service System works. As I can no longer access a list of IR's as I used to do this is what I suggest that members do;

If you have an issue with your DS3, and with the help of the last eight digits of your VIN number (PM me if you wish not to post it), I will check the system for you and post up any IR's pointing to your problem or any other docs that I think may help. I will also add these to the master list on post 3 so other members can take a look too.

I hope this will work out okay for everybody and this thread will continue to be of help to others



P.S You can find your VIN number on the corner of your front windscreen
