Watch Marc replace an indicator stalk on a Citroen C1. This is the same design as the Toyota Aygo and the Peugeot 107 and they all suffer from the same common problem. The internal switches in the indicator stalks wear and this causes a bad connection which results in either the indicator to be inoperable or not work properly. - Авто та транспорт
Thanks SO much for this, I had a heart attack when I was quoted the bill to get this fixed at the local garage. Did this easily with your video, cant thank you enough. Those plastic teeth holding the stock in place are a real pain in the...
How much did they quote you ?
Cheers for this! Just managed to fix mine, and saved a trip to the garage!
Awesome! Well done. Glad this helped.
Very helpful video, gives an extra dimension to the Haynes manual
Really helpful and informative video. My sister in law got charged over £450 at a garage for this repair on her car. I did it for under £20 on our c1. Thanks 👍
you could have also opened the indicator unit up and cleaned the copper contacts , the job would have cost you zero pounds 👍
My daughter's car just started having this problem. Have ordered the replacement, so thanks in advance.
Really helpful. Particularly the clip securing the wiper assembly.
...Great video....Many thanks.
Nice one, very helpful
The indicator stalk can be repaired by cleaning the electrical contacts inside the unit
Great video very useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Cheers pal 1st class
Omg this has saved me
What size are the torx fittings holding on the air bag? Cheers
Just can't get that circular metal clip off that holds the indicator stalks to the steering column, no matter what I do! Clasps, straps, wiggling, banging - nothing works 🙄
Same. Any help from the community?
Long nose pliers as in the video
How long to change on a TT 180 Quatro
Super useful, but having done this 3 times now, there are some additions that make it much easier…
1) You don’t need to disconnect the battery. Not on this model.
2) DO NOT remove the speedo top cowling first. Remove the airbag and steering wheel THEN the cowling (upper and lower). It’s way easier to remove.
3) After loosening the centre steering wheel not, leave the nut on a few turns while pulling on the steering wheel to remove it. The nut will stop you smacking yourself in the face when the wheel releases.
4) When removing the ring (between steering wheel and stalk assembly, there are 3 main clips, 9, 12 and 3 o’clock. There are a few other retainer clips, but the 3 big ones do most of the work
5) Before removing the stalk assembly (by squeezing the circlip with pliers) remove the two 10mm bolts either side of the speedo that hold the speedo assembly. This allows access to the circlip tangs from above. Also worth noting the assembly needs a bit of a tug to remove it once the tangs are squeezed tightly together.
6) When reinstalling the lower column cowling, insert the lower rear edge ABOVE the lip on the dash sheering column hole.
7) The two blanking plates that cover the airbag bolts are specific to each side. They look similar but won’t fit if you have the wrong side. May save 10 mins of confusion.
Other than that, great guide. Saved a bunch of cash. 👌
Hey, thanks for your comment. I'm sure some of the people who view this video will find it helpful.
The battery disconnect is part of the manufacturer procedure and good for many DIY'ers as a general rule of thumb when working on similar systems.
Looking back at this video, and many others, I've noticed easier or better ways of doing things.
That's the great thing about this trade. Learn how to do a job.. then learn how to do it better 😅.
Thanks again for your detailed comment.
Thanks for this - everything has gone like a dream right up to the spring clip behind the indicator - despite squeezing it together there is no movement on the indicator assembly? I can't work out why it's not coming off - any ideas? cheers
sorted it - found the plastic retaining clip and released that
Same for me. Could you let me know where that plastic retaining clip is located?
Great video, that's very helpful 👍
Any advice on purchasing one please?
Main dealer/ ebay ect ?
Thanks 👍
Main dealer.
Peace of mind is key for for things like this. You don't want to be doing the job twice
Fitted the new indicator stalk today with the help of your video 😊
The indicator direction flasher within the speedometer cluster occasionally flickers. Any idea if this is a common problem and a easy fix ?
Thanks 👍
Sometimes the communication lines within the speedo clock can go faulty and present issues like you describe. In the past we have had to replace the speedo clock. It doesn't require as much strip down as this job so should be manageable. I would take the vehicle to a mechanic to confirm communication error faults first before replacing anything.
@MTMMotorServices
I ordered some electrical spray, thought I'd spray some in the electrical plugs just in case its a bad connection. Obviously if that doesn't help I'll try what you suggested mate. Thanks for the advice 🙏 have a great day 👍
no need to disconnect the battery for the airbag, it's not precharged and works only when voltage is applied, disconnecting the battery does nothing whatsoever
Hi, I have just had my Toyota aygo serviced , mot and they said it needed a replacement indicator stalk . I paid 83.52 for this plus everything else , bill was 335.42 .. with in a few days the indicators became intermittent…. Having looked at your video , I’m wonder are the things not connected properly . The garage are saying it’s not their problem as possibly the bulbs have gone. This is not the case as the right hand indicator occasionally works . The garage is a 2 .5 hour journey that carried out the work . How am I to get them to fix this l it surely should be guaranteed . Is there am ombudsman ?
Hi,
The reason these stalks fail is because the mechanical switches inside the stalk can wear, break or corrode which causes a bad or no connection.
If it has had a new stalk recently and a similar complaint has returned, I would say the repairer that carried out the work has a duty of care to atleast check that its not a faulty part that has been supplied to you. unfortunately that can happen, but that is what warranty is for.
It all depends on the issue you're having now.
If you operate the stalk left and right
You should be able to see flashing indicator lights outside the vehicle, a flashing tell tale on your dash and an audible "tick" sound.
If you can see or hear any of these in the different positions then it's likely the stalk is fine and the issue could be in the dash clock itself.
But your local repairer needs to carry out the correct tests to diagnose.
Hope this helps you
@@MTMMotorServices many thanks for super quick response. The indicators out side work fine as does the tik tik sound in car .. it's just the flashing light on dash board. ( The right side sometimes lights up)
Hi, great video, where did you get the replacement stalk from?
We used parts from the main dealer. Thanks for watching the video :)
MTM Motor Services how much does that cost?
@@georgestubbs5873 different models and variants can vary the price. you'll have to contact your local dealership to enquire.
@Henry Evans If that was a brand new part, it won't be genuine OEM.
They're about £55 minimum going by the prices I've just been researching.
You can get them for under £20.00 from ebay.
Just got a new indicator stalk but the metal bit isn’t attached. How do I put it on?
do you mean the metal clip? as in the video you can use long nose pliers to open it and fit on.
@@MTMMotorServices yes I do, but what I’m actually saying is the metal clip isn’t attached to the new stalk and I’m not able to actually attach it to the stalk as it came detached.
@@MTMMotorServices never mind sorted it
Hello,where are you based please?And how much would you charge for this?
Hey, we are located in Llanelli, south Wales.
Head over to our social media and drop us a DM with vehicle details we can get back to you with a price.
The plastic cowling is a bit easier if done when the wheel is off ( just saying )........👍
