Hmm, yeh I was wondering that That concern was at the back of my mind. So you think it's more of a risk than reward running a cleaner, hmm. I went for the prestone coolant cleaner which claims to not be too harsh. It's nothing acidic or too caustic I don't think. But, maybe I see how these...

Ahh, good. I thought it was something along those lines. I am still trying to work out if the car has a potential overheating problem. Or if it just needs a good service. So doing this coolant flush first. Everything has gone smoothly thus far. The system needs a good flush/clean though...

I was just worried about the overflow more then anything. Did I just over fill it or was it because I opened it while it was slightly hot?

In the midst of replacing the heater control valve. But after seeing the state of the coolant, I decided to do a full flush. It's a bit of a pain on the KA. But I eventually got to the lower rad hose, and drained it. It takes around 5l and 2.5 litres came out. I also gave the hopper box a...

inflation....it applies to Citroen and every other manufacturer now....we are all doomed

Haha, I'm not worthy of a citroen dealership if I need to ask the cost it seems.

Indeed it should, but citroen seemingly skip that part. The service book is useless. But I have found the schedule online. But, I asked the question anyway (partly playing dumb), as I ideally want to know the cost of the service items beforehand. But they are avoiding the answer.

So putting on my cynic hat (which I seem to wear permanently these days). The reason they probably don't want to tell me about scheduled service items beforehand is that it's more likely they can make me relent into getting them done once they have the car. :unsure:

It's the citroen adblue system. In a perfect world it should be a recall item due to it being seemingly being poor design, but citroen have thus far refused to class it as such. It's a bit of a known scandal for citroen/peugeot owners. Although I suspect the issue could be exacerbated by poor...

I have a car, which was previously a lease. Part of the lease package meant that I never had to concern myself with services or tyres etc. After the end of the lease, I decided to buy it as there was nothing on the market any more that matched what I wanted. So now I have to book all the...

Yeh, there was no "code" as such. The light just blinked indefinitely. It was as if there was something not meeting start requirements. It eventually started though and seems to be performing flawlessly.

i have a further curious issue that is "fixed" but not sure why it is happening. The fridge/freezer fails to power up, somewhat inconsistently. Even thought it finally powered up, I can't quite work out why it was doing what it was doing. After plugging it in, and pressing the power button, I...

Update! Finally had a chance to do a full 24hr defrost and trace all the vent paths using strimmer wire and a hair dryer to do a vent test. I traced the problem to the return vent from the fridge to the freezer. The strimmer wire was getting stuck on something cold. Turns out it was...

About to do a my first flush of a the coolant (more ford KA tinkering). Finally replacing the heater control valve and thought I should do a full flush at the same time, as well as popping in a new thermostat. I know it requires red OAT type coolant, but I was wondering how specific do I need...

I can hear relays clicking when I open the door. The fan runs fine, no catching on ice. I can feel airflow in the freezer section. I can also see the damper rotating or staying in close and/or open position. Freezer is staying perfectly cold. No over-icing/build-up. It's looking like a slow...

I did not do a long slow defrost. Mainly because of limited time due to a full freezer. I basically did a speed defrost with hairdryer assistance of the exchanger in the freezer section only. But, I'm surprised if there is an ice block in the ducting as that section does not seem cold enough...

Ok, my trust Samsung fridge/freezer is having a fridge temp issue, It is a Samsung RL39WB. Here is the service manual. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1088853/Samsung-Rl39wb.html?#manual Now, the fridge has run perfectly for years. But, last week I left the freezer door open for a few...

Just thought I'd add a little to this: I was doing a little experiment to see how much range the existing batteries (that need replacing) go. As as per above, measured on the multimeter after a full charge, they show 27-28v when tested with no load, but as soon as the scooter is turned on...

That was the original question. I revived the thread somewhat to muse on what makes for a good replacement. A lot of the scooter batteries that are available seem to often be random brand names, especially the Lithium ones. It really seems hard to tell good from the bad. Or what makes a good...

No idea....maybe I just got an ill-informed customer service rep. I rang specifically to find out how the VAT removal was applied, and assumed I would have to make a purchase over the phone. But, that was the response I was given. I'll clearly have to ring again and ask for a manager or...
