This is a really common problem on the 5 and 6 speed manual gearboxes, which were fitted to numerous other Citroen, Peugeot and DS models – from everything to the DS3’s sister car, the Peugeot 208, right up to the Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner mid-size vans. On your DS3 you’ll have one of two five speed gearbox variants, or the six speed var...
I personally don’t rate the screens in these cars. They look nice, and especially in some of the more basic models they do help to give the car a more premium look, but they’re prone to freezing, rebooting themselves while in operation and sometimes just packing up altogether. I’m not an auto electrician so if someone came into my garage with a scr...
So this is a common one (as it is on any car) and could be a number of different things.

However, this is actually normal for the Puretech engines specifically and if you g...
Some customers have brought me their DS3 to complain of a high clutch biting point. These are usually customers who have never driven a French car before and aren’t aware that on most French cars, particularly Peugeot, Citroen and DS but also Renault (as well as some Japanese manufacturers) the clutch biting point is usually very high. I’m not sure...

Some of the more significant include the following: R2021/238– The operation of the vacuum pump may be affected due to material detaching from the timing belt R/2019/339 – Front airbag ignitiers may not deploy correctly R/2017/300– Suspension and steering fixings may not be tightened ...
Few cars can claim to have kickstarted an entire brand, but that’s exactly what the DS 3 did. It began life as the Citroen DS 3, but then badge-shifted to become the standalone DS company as the Citroen logo was replaced in 2015.
