Problem Xsara Picasso

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my Picasso HHI 2.0 for some time, I tell you to see if someone can clarify it to me:

this began in October 2007, I am lighting the light of self -diagnosis. I take it to Citroen and they tell me that I am wrong with the high pressure pump regulator. The diagnosis of \ "Error P090: Requested stop regulator always active \".

Total, that I carry it again, and instead of changing it, the problem follows. I carry it over and over again, although the car does not fail, but the chivato is always on and when starting it puts on the display \ "motor failure \".

In July last year after spent 800 and peak euros and have changed the pressure sensor of the ramps and the high pump regulator, they tell me that they have found metal chips under the diesel filter. That must be the bomb that is bad.


Total, that I got tired and I have not changed it, I thought about leaving it until I burst and I will see at once. Recently I made a change of oil and looked under the diesel filter and there was nothing. Can you think of what can be? It should not be something fat like the bomb if I have been circulating with the light for more than a year and I have traveled 55,000 km.

Thank you. All kinds of comments (except that Citroen returns) will be well received,

someone has an idea that it can be.

If under the diesel filter metal chips or finite black dust appear, it means that the elements of the high pressure generator are damaged.

The failure you mention is because in the injector ramp there is less pressure than due, (still enough for the engine to walk more or less well).

In principle one can think that it is the pressure regulator that is wrong and there is escaping part of the pressure, but as you say, if they have already reviewed it, and even changed the actuator (about 400 euros) because ... it is going to be that this is not what Chungo is.

Normally, if you continue to have the fault light on with the same failure, after paying a repair, there is the guarantee, just as you pay, they must fulfill.

The logical thing is to approach the workshop again and say \ "hey, that this remains the same \" to put the diagnosis and investigate whether it is the same fault code or if now something different happens.

If the pump fucks, you will notice because the car will stop as if you had removed the contact, nothing more, yes, it will not start again until you change the piece.

In fine, I hope I have clarified something in this letter.

Thanks Megabeat,

that of the guarantees is very good, but if you are not a lawyer ...

Of course I returned, and they told me that if it was still lit I had to change the diesel pump (900 and peak euros) and that I was not discounted from the 800 and peak that I had already released.

I complained to the Citroen central and in the end nothing, that the regulator was a problem and this is another ... I know that it is a lie, that the problem is the same. But at that time my work schedule did not allow me to go to consumption to complain and then coined.

Greetings.

On what date this happened and what Citroën?

Because the truth is that they are children ... if you ask to give you the fault codes of your car, they have to print them, (for that they charge you 21 euros half an hour of work).

If when leaving the workshop the car continues with the fault light on ??? Can it be because it is still damaged?

If in the list of fault codes provided by the concessionaire, the one that has been resolved is repeated because they have not resolved it ...

Do you know the bad? That the car we need and if you are not affiliated with any magazine such as the OCU or the AOMIG or the union of consumers and users because you are screwed when some of this passes (they think that you will not have time or money to go to a lawyer to consult these things) and normally they are right.

Sometimes we sin of brownillos, and sometimes customers are \ "ready \", it is not one thing or another, but it is not the first time that a flowmeter has changed in a gasoline when the fault was the lambda probe or vice versa. The normal thing is that being honored you first try the car before delivering it to see if it remains the same or if the breakdown has been repaired, (in the protocol of action of Vag, BMW, Mercedes Benz and some more, there is the road test before the delivery to the client), logically, the price of the cars and of the workforce of the workshops, it is not the same, but they do not stay with anything.

All the best.

Well, the last time I went through Caloga (Official Concessionaire of Velez-Málaga and Torre del Mar) was in July if I remember correctly. And I tell you, they are very friendly, at first they even erased the error without charge several times, but in the end they put it \ "to the background \".

The issue is that the car leaves there without error but after a while, which has been 24 hours, which have become almost 3 months again gives the failure. And the thing is not to continue carrying it, in this way my car becomes the R&D of Citroen but paying it. And the mosqueante is that when I changed the oil the last time we empty the diesel filter and put a rag, it came out clean, without chip or dust or anything.
