Re: Map update failing (14.0.0...

C5, phev. However do you start the engine??? And run while the USB is plugged in? Please. I posted this query a long time ago and had lots of people telling me to switch off the auto stop start but as you found this doesn't exist on the PHEV. The instructions say to keep the engine running but it i...

Re: Engine running during Map Update

Sorry Juan if I sound a bit grumpy, you may be right about the keeping the ICE running and that's what the instructions suggest. However I suspect the people who wrote the software for MyCitroen and the app that produces the USB for updates may be the ones who wrote the instructions for the updates....

Re: Engine running during Map Update

Engine running during Map Update

As you may be aware the user guide says map updates must be done while the engine is running for both Internal Combustion Engine and PHEV models. I posted on here many months ago about the problem this causes with a PHEV C5 as there is no button to disable the Stop/Start and no driving mode that is ...

Carwash and C5 PHEV free-wheeling

I've been going through the manual for my new car and came across something called Freewheel mode. it says you should put the car in this mode for a number of things including being pulled though a carwash. I'm not sure I could carry out this procedure in the short time before driving in and the rac...
