Hi, Does anyone know a way to get hold of Citroen TSBs? Specifically, I have a Grand C4 Picasso (65) with the creaky rear axle (sounds like old bed springs). I believe there is a TSB relating to it (TSB B3DW010CQ0) where a resin is squrited into the axle, but I can't find any details anywhere. Thanks, |

I think Citroen keep TSBs fairly secret, after all why give the customer information they might use to get problems fixed. There have been a few squeaky axle posts in the relevant bit of the forum - there might be an answer. This bit says "pre 2013 only" at the top. Planetecitroen forum might have something, far more active than this one but its all in French. |

I’ve got many TSB’s for the 2014 Grand Picasso. I’m sure it includes the axle issue. I’ll have a look. | ||||

Have you searched on the forum: - Click Here - I remember posting the contents of the TSB in this post. It was the first fix which was very costly. I think the expanding foam solution came along a bit later |

Thanks for the replies. Apologies - I have indeed started this in the pre-2013 section by mistake. I saw the other posts in the forum that mentioned the replacement axle and then the resin fixes - but I was wondering if it was possible to get hold of the specfic detail of the repair. I'm loathed to go to Citroen for the repair - but suspect I may have to as it's a rather specific and unsual fix. |

I have the TSB but it doesn’t tell you any more than that stated in my link I listed earlier. If you PM me your email address I can send it to you. The 4.5 hour fix on the TSB to replace the axle, was likely replaced by the expanding foam method, to keep costs and labour down. |

If it helps I can put you in touch with my local family run official Citroen dealer. They will I'm sure be able to advise you what they suggest. They stopped selling new Citroen's a few years back, but remain an official Citroen dealer for service/warranty. I continue to use them for all garage work as I trust them. Their labour rate is cheap as well! |

Thanks Bluehdi. That would be really useful. I'd much rather find a good independent garage if possible. I'll PM you my email. |

The TSB you need is B3DW0105Q0 Version 29 of 03/04/2021. The TSB tells you where to drill holes at either side of the rear axle into which you inject Dinitrol expanding foam. Dinitrol for this job is advertised on Ebay. The kit I bought included two small rubber bungs to seal the holes drilled into the axle. When I did this fix on my 66 plate car a lot of surplus green expanding foam came out of my rear axle, especially at the nearside, which you are instructed to do first. After cleaning away the surplus foam and inserting the rubber bungs I sprayed the disturbed area of the axle with black stone chip paint. I refitted the rear wheels after leaving the foam to set for 4.5 hours. Since doing this fix in 2019 my rear axle is silent, no more 'tinkling' noises when reversing over bumps. If you Google "Dinitrol expanding foam" you will find ads for the stuff needed for this job. The following link contains pictures of where the axle needs to be drilled: https://www.lemondedudiagauto.com/t19966-bruit-de-grincement-a-l-arriere-en-tournent-ou-pendant-les-manoeuvres |
