Help with Citroen tech problem (also posted in French Bred)
Discussion
Hi - posted a topic a while back about resetting the "arrange service" light on a Picasso.
Short story - took car for a service and a few weeks later the service spanner and "arrange service" (on starting up) came on. Took it back to the garage as advised by Phers and discovered that they couldn't reset it. Mechanic persuaded me that it was "only a spanner" and not worth bothering about.
So comming to sell the car this weekend I took it back to citroen for some recall work on the suspension and asked for them to reset the light (£25!!!!!) They said that they Cannot do it!!!! Asked why and was told that they would be a fault on the Display panel (£508 +VAT + Fitting) - went to scrapyard and got one for £65. No difference. Obviously this could have the same fault but (i think) unlikely.
So then a couple of questions:-
1/ If there is a fault somewhere I expect it to be computer based - where is this and is it possible to swap for a scrapyard one without causing a whole host of problems?
2/ Anybody any ideas on further investigation.
3/ Why don't Citroen tell the truth?
Help me please..............
