Headlight problems with a 2013 Citroen Nemo: advice wanted

Dim or flickering lights

Low beam and high beam seems too high or too low

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 2013 Citroen Nemo, gasoline engine, mileage of 184260 KM. My headlights are acting up: high and low beams seem too high or too low, they are dimming or even flickering. Could this be due to a faulty blinker? Have any of you ever had a situation like this and could perhaps give me a tip on how they solved it? My last experience with my mechanic wasn't that great, so I'd like to ask here first. Thanks in advance and best regards!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2010 Citroen Berlingo. Headlights were flickering like crazy until one day they failed completely. Imagine the shock, this happened in the middle of the night. So I went to the garage and it turned out that the control unit itself was faulty. That was pretty serious, man. The ECU is basically the brain of the car and controls a number of systems, including the headlights. If that's broken, then a lot of things can go wrong. In my case, I think it was due to normal wear and tear. Honestly, it's not an easy fix, at least not for someone without very deep knowledge. Even if your experience with your mechanic wasn't the best, I would advise you to take the car to a trusted professional. Just as a side note, a faulty bulb or a worn headlight could also cause the problems you describe. So get that checked as well before you start an expensive repair. Good luck with that, my friend.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply and the helpful hints. Seems like my Nemo and I can't avoid a visit to the garage. The control unit sounds really serious. Do you happen to remember what you paid for the repair? Has anything else similar come up since then or is your car now running smoothly again? Thanks again and best regards!

Hey, I'm glad I could help you. Oh yes, I still remember the repair costs for the defective control unit, which was a hefty €880. But nothing similar has happened since then and my car is running like clockwork again. And yes, since the visit to the workshop, the defective blinker has also been repaired. So don't hang your head, sometimes it's just such big chunks that catch you out, but after that things should get better again. Good luck and keep us up to date! Best regards!

Hey, 880€, that's a pretty steep number, but if it helps to solve the problem, I guess it has to be. I'm reassured to hear that your car has been running smoothly since then. Yes, you're right, your head should always be held high no matter what. I will take my car to a garage as soon as possible for a check-up and hope for the best. Your understanding and advice has really helped. Thanks again for that! I'll keep you up to date. Best regards!
