Could see this becoming popular again in great Britain where the potholes make the roads look like a french farmer's field in the 1950's. Could also be good in EV's since they are so monstrously heavy

Eco-coisas in Portugal only from 2 AM to 6 AM.

I thought it was a actual solution video, not the first any sane person tries to do.... But I guess the mental issues are getting greater for car owners, so someone need to be told to try lubing the lock mechanism first of all.

its not so hard to fix it... i myself fix a leak on a citroen c5, and the suspension is so cool

Your C5 and my C1 have something in common… it’s round, it’s red, it’s sticky. 😄

100% on the mark here. Every word. But car-buyers seem to have bought into all the fads and fashions. 😢

Thank you for this. Another video i watched yesterday suggested that one difference between the UK and Spain (yes, I know, you're in Portugal, but you're possibly more likely to have an informed opinion) is that Spanish drivers are rather more, shall we say, assertive. Any ideas?

Those are some narrow streets for the C5! Great job on the new vid!

Tkanks mate for this video.

Hey, thank for the video! Can you please assist with these parts? 7429G7 and 7429 G9 they are bumper grille security during winter from snow and salts. Do you use them? What do you think? I bought a car, but they are missing, I would like to buy them, but I cant find it on aftermarket and IDK mayde due to Google engines or smth... Maybe there would be great ideat to make them on 3rd printer, I would order.

Doing repairs on one's car, even ad-hoc, is very educational. Not just on the thing one is working on, but other things one notices as well. "Huh so that's where this goes", "oh so that's why this is like that" and "that's more rusty than I thought" are phrases often uttered.

Wow, thanks again to your videos 👍 What amasing thing, i had also and still having on my "lovely car" all these troubles you film about... Have a great weekend 🙂

one of the the 'ailments' of every C5X7 :( Wiper hose disintegration, you see, Xantia shenanigans did make it to it's grandchild ( LHM Return pipes Rubber --> Plastic anyone? )

I have a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II which has hydro-pneumatic suspension, borrowed from Citroen, and it's fantastic.

Great video with very well-presented information! If I may suggest, upgrading the microphone could really enhance the audio quality and help your channel grow even more. Keep up the great work!

Citroën *WAS* famous for that, as they were famous for innovative solutions, like 1-spoke steering wheel, self-centering steering, air-cooled engine, cylinder tachymeter, buttons around the steering wheel arranged like in an akkordeon, extreme brake-booster, controllable fragrance, etc... What is left over? Just the fragrance - the rest is identical with Opel, Vauxhall, Fiat, Peugeot, Lancia, Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge... all the same platform, engine, C-pillar, outside mirrors, almost everything. 😵‍💫

I love the quote from HubNut: "People are idiots. They love their rock hard suspension". I couldn't agree more. I've been saying this for years. Why are mundane, family hacks being fitted with low profile tyres and stiff suspensions? You can hardly buy a car these days that doesn't have a harsh ride. Who needs "handling?". The vast majority of driving is done for pedestrian purposes in average cars on poor roads at average speeds. Handling is only needed for high speed driving on tracks. Comfort and ride quality is what is needed for the vast majority of driving. Soccer mum and factory dad don't need cornering ability to and fro their average commute. They need tyres and suspension to soak up all the pot holes and irregular road surfaces. And I blame motoring journalists for a lot of this. They are always complaining about body roll, sliding about in the seats, squat and dive under acceleration and braking and soft steering. Now thanks to car manufacturers listening to them, we all have to suffer stiff suspension, noisy low profile tyres, heavily bolstered firm seats and stiffened steering. How about car manufacturers listen to the average person instead of these stupid motoring journalists? The types of people that review a Rolls Royce and fling it fast around corners and then complain about body roll. The type of driving no Rolls Royce owner would ever do. Listen to average owners instead.

For those who experience lag. Use this free method: 1. Install the head unit as always 2. Plug a USB in your PC. Afterwards search "android auto reloaded apk" and make sure you downloade the newest one. 3. Put the apk file in the USB. 4. Now go to your car and plug the USB in. 5. Go under file manager and install the apk. 6. When the installation is done, take out the USB. 7. Now find a USB to USB C cable and plug in your phone to the USB port. 8. Open the app called "reloaded" 9. Now everytime you step into the car and plug your phone in, Android auto starts automatically. 10. There is no lag, because your phone is doing all the processing power and the head unit works as a screen.

Having run C5s, Xantias and BXs, I found the biggest issue is the British mechanics don't know what they are doing.

There is something wrong with the audio in the first minute.

20 out of my 35 years driving have been with hydro pneumatic suspension (Mercedes W116,126 rears and Citroen C5) and the suspensions have not been problematic and my favourite ride. Every car after 15-20 years needs a suspension rebuild and if you were to do it with factory genuine parts on any car it's expensive, the problem with Citroen is there is very little to no aftermarket attention.

i'v had 4 C5's over the years and had nothing but problems with the suspension with all of them, I really like them and when working they are great cars but never again

Bought a 2011 C5 with hydraulic suspension. The ride is smoother, quieter and more comfortable than in S series Mercedes. Unfortunately the Prince engine is a disaster...😢

The Citroen Hydractive seems absolutely amazing and far more capable than the fully pneumatic system Land Rovers use. Elegant solution by Citroen and I am going to be very mean now to automotive journalists. They are morons who have managed to brainwash people through the years that the most important things about a car are "stiff racing suspensions" and how fast it can go from 0-100km/h. Two of the least important things about a regular car imho

That last sentence 🤣🤣👏👏👏 actually there is a car with similarities (on the front) with new citroen c5x and very good suspension, it called nio et9.

I had Xantia 1.8i 1998, and C5 mk1 2002. I bought newer C5 x7 saloon 2010 six months ago. On recommendation from my mechanic who specializes in citroens i got one with regular suspension, and without electronic handbrake. He said that front shocks or telescopes as he calls them are weak spot in hidro models and about 500 euro each to replace. Electronic handbrake is also poorly designed and can be a headache, is about 500 euro too. As far as the ride goes, i love the ride in new car.

Anyone has the link to buy the unit shown in 8:30? Thanks 🙏

Very useful video to complete this one : ua-cam.com/video/Rkul0iTQ6-k/v-deo.html

hello, I'm interested in where the MAP (not MAF) sensor is located in the Citroen c5 x7 2.0 hdi 103kw

I have a question . I will buy the same car play junsun. I want to know if the sensons of the C5 are available with the new car play ?

Hibrid is the future and they are cheaper to build. I guess they try to be prepared to build competitive combustion cars, equipping all brands with the same engines and parts. It will be a Stellantis car with different shells, a Fiat, a Chrisler or a Citroen shell.

I think will be still possible to drive, like AI, it's here and do a lot of people jobs, but those people can still work on the job somewhere

Your channel is brilliant to me, because it's unique and i identify myself with you, also like to drive slow, but also like to drive fast

Brilliant. You're a braver man than I - Does the same motor tilt and yaw the mirror?

First, the article about inductive charging is nonsense. It says that the induction charger generates a lot of heat, but it will use special wires of some sort. The heat represents energy loss. You can't create special wires that will return the excess heat to energy. Also, if the cybercabs are such a money maker, why would Tesla sell them? They would operate them as cabs and make all the money for Tesla. And if the robots are going to only be 30k, just buy one and have it operate as personal taxi driver. It could even drive your old gasoline car. You would not only have a cab earning you money, at the end of the day you would also have a household robot. But of course both cybercabs and 30k robots are just fairytales to pump Tesla stock and will never be real.

Garbage American here, I'd tie Chrysler to a tree and dispense with it. They only make one car, a minivan. Dodge could be saved if they retuned to the formula of boringly reliable basic cars and one or two fast V8 vehicles. Ram and Dodge should be combined so that when truck sales decline, at least some $ is coming in on cheap cars. Jeep is a diamond buried in a large pile of poop. Stop with overpriced trashy soccer nom mobiles and focus on rugged reliable off-road machines. Perhaps spin off all the American brands to somebody who actually understands the market because Stellantis doesn't care.

Those who also speak German might really enjoy this article from the german weekly paper „Die Zeit". Published in 2004. "Auf der Jagd nach einem Parkplatz“ Translated "‘On the hunt for a parking space“

my switch lights dont work, i buy new one soon

Broken pieces of plastic I sometimes repair by melting in a few strands of copper wire with a soldering iron. In some cases it works, and sometimes it breaks again quite soon…..

I really thought it was calibration fault, but if you say it's mechanical, so be it, what do I know.

Have you got the aliexpress replacement yet? I got one for my 508 and the auto down dont work and none of the passenger windows work from thier own swatches at all with the aliexpress unit pluged in.

Oh yeah, that was quite interesting. But my C1 Spécial Poverty Spec has crank windows... Anyway: I had to struggle with the aftermarket central locking. Cables at the main plug were broken. To find out and to make all four doors working this took me about three years. Because lazy... Thanks for the video and see you soon. Take care »»» Martin

Ceramic glue?

YT comments are being weird, I had luck with Ali express Item: 1005005677771172

By the way, I got 2 C5 X7, both of them 14 years old, both had the Driver Windows guide cables snap \ almost snap at the same year, from corrosion and fatigue and needed replacement, And I live in a dry place, so if anyone in the audience has cables which have not been services, you'd need to fix that before it snaps.

Sacrifice the buttons for the rear windows to restore full function to the front windows?

Inductive charging operates on the distance squared Double the distance, quadruple charging power (similar to lumens with light intensity). Further you introduce inneficiency with transformers needed at both ends. (Don't look like a transformer, more like the windings of a motor) Even at 98% efficiency there is an extra 4% loss on top of the distance from the charging point. Bear in mind this cannot abutt with the induction point as even an induction cooker works. Even though this almost touches it still more than doubles the required power so l would think the car would at least do this...

Usefull video. Do you know how to calibrate or adjust the folding time of the motor?. Greetings from Chile.

When total failure is achieved only then will net zero be in place
