One nugget of information is the External temperature sensor MUST be in operation for the DPF to regenerate. I noticed the external temp reading was blank and there were DPF invoices. The external temp sensor is in the drivers wing mirror and will be a little nipple on the underside of the mirror. Chances are it’s either damaged or it’s been replaced with a aftermarket mirror that didn’t include the temp sensor.

This can be very detrimental. Mine went faulty then read 51c on the dash. It was driving like a breakdown was imminent 😮

That’s been very helpful, well explained and easy to understand. Thank-you

What a great, informative video, thank you

1st thing to do when buying any French car is inform your doctor they will provide you with a list of symptoms you will encounter these are (1) confusion (2) sleeplessness (3) anxiety and irritability (4) Peugeot rash aka self harming (5) depression leading to erectile dysfunction

Good advice. Anyone ever remove the oil cap or dip stick to check for smoke as a result of blow by?

At 5:58 what are you looking at to see that the oil is full? I can't see any oil level indicator on the dash?

Other than the wing mirror sensor as below comment, They all crunch the gears, i had one with 7000 miles 5th crunched, same with one just stolen 19000 miles and every Citroen fiat etc The box will crunch a bit depending how you drive it,

not a bad introduction to buying one of these, but one of the main problems with these vehicles, despite nearly 20yrs of production, are the poorly designed, and leaking skuttle drains, which have been likely badly neglected by the previous to give flooding in the engine bay. with obviously dire consequences. Any signs of moisture move onto another inspection

So check for leaks check the paperwork

Just a few major issues then 😂

Running the fule tank near empty not a good habit

I have the 2.2 hdi on a 2016 model Citroen Relay. The engine cuts out at speed on motorways as I slow down. Go figure. Junk.

Are the older 2.2s better?

Yes and must be in operation for the DPF to regenerate. Buying that van is buying a DPF failure in the near future.

No doubt airbag light on/airbag module is a common fault

So basically don't buy one. Shame cos I was just about to buy a Citroen Relay but not after this.

Don’t buy anything at all, less van man’s - more jobs for us 😉

these are absolute garbage - relay, boxer, movano, ducato. All Fiat underneath with stereotypical Fiat "reliability" ie zero. It'll cost you more than the van is worth to keep it on the road. Everything breaks on them and everything is at least a grand to fix once you factor in labour and VAT. Just avoid them and get a Sprinter.

Had Sprinters, they break just as often and cost even more to fix!! 😆
