Electrical fault and parking aid failure in Citroen Ccrosser Diesel 2008

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Fault stored

General electric malfunction

Park distance control without function

Hi guys, I have a problem with my 2008 Citroen Ccrosser Diesel, which now has 68,073 km on the clock. Last time I had a real horror at the mechanic and am hoping for your experience. Error stored, general electrical error, warning light on the speedometer and my parking aid no longer works. Could this perhaps be related to the error in the parking aid? Have you had similar experiences and how did it go with your mechanic? Thanks for your help!

Hi buddy, I had a similar problem with my 2005 Citroen Berlingo. Let me tell you, it was a really disconcerting experience. In my case, they found and replaced a faulty parking aid control unit, and yes, this problem was the reason for the warning light on the dashboard. It's not communicating properly with the on-board computer and so the whole parking aid is out of order. It's definitely a serious issue because it can affect the overall operation of the vehicle and you certainly don't want to risk an accident. I can only recommend that you visit your local mechanic and get the problem fixed before it escalates further. Have a safe journey!

Hey, thanks for your answer! Your experience sounds really similar to mine. Do you remember what you paid the mechanic to repair the parking aid control unit? And has there been anything else wrong with the car since then or has everything been running smoothly? Thanks again!

Hey, I can still remember that it cost the mechanic €355 to repair the parking aid control unit. Since I had the control unit repaired, everything has been running like clockwork - including the parking aid. Nothing has been buggy, everything is great. In other words, since the visit to the mechanic, the fault with the parking aid has been rectified and I've had no more problems. No problem, always happy to help! Keep up the good work!

Great, thanks for the info! That sounds relieving if the fault really has been rectified. Of course, €355 is a lot of money at first, but if everything works again afterwards, I'll probably have to tackle it. Thanks again for your help and support! Stay healthy and have a good trip!

Hello Marita, that definitely sounds like a defect in the speedometer itself, possibly a so-called "cold solder joint". The manufacturer would sell a new speedometer in your case, but what I would recommend is to search for "speedometer repair" on the Internet. Such electrical components can often be repaired relatively easily. In your search you should be able to find some companies that specialize in such repairs.

If you have the speedometer repaired, it is important that the correct mileage is also stored in the speedometer. You don't want to end up driving with the wrong mileage. Feel free to share your experiences with us once your problem has been resolved.
