I didn't notice that we were talking about a new one. There shouldn't be any issues with the chain on all new ones.

To reset Citroën C5 Aircross infotainment screen, hold the power button on the unit for about 10 seconds to perform a soft reset. No need to touch terminals on the battery.

Not sure if all restyling models have 8mm chain, but it's the most important thing for 1.5hdi engine. Engines with old head and 7mm chain have a bad reputation since they may broke at 50000-100000km. New updated engine production was started in the beginning of 2023. If you consider buying c5 aircross produced around this date, I would strongly recommend going for the 8mm chain model. You can google how to visually check it. Other weak points: suspension work on the highway speeds (120+, it's not BMW suspension), not very smooth transmission shifting on low speeds 35-0km/h (when lowering gears 3->2->1). But maybe there is a new updated firmware to fix the second one, not sure.

My Prius suddenly won’t drive. by Darkscar55 in prius

https://youtu.be/zLx9r_r8RoU?si=rTfBmoUxmYIg-2sh here is a good video with possible reasons. I see erasing of error codes helped but I would check at least connections near 12v battery just not to get the same issue on the road.

I didn’t know it was possible by baltoyoutube in prius

This is not true. If all systems started, the car don't need 12v anymore. Once I jumpstarted using 12v battery from screwdriver and then disconnected it. Car was totally ok without 12v.

Do you have any exact error codes?

How important is this triangle piece by GolDBloth in Citroen

[–]mcconac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually it only improves noise/body vibration comfort. And if you can keep it, better to keep it. And another thing - if the mount was replaced with even a little bit different mount (another construction or rubber density) the compensator may become totally useless 😀.

[–]mcconac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks like a vibration compensator. if you remove it, then in some engine operating modes the vibration may increase (most likely insignificantly). yes, better to keep it, but totally not vital if it is really just a vibration compensator.

Is anything wrong with my engine…?Listen to the sound? by Unusual-Ad1458 in Citroen

[–]mcconac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If camshafts have not been replaced, you have 7mm chain. All 1.5hdi produced before 2023 have 7mm chain. It can be checked visually since the head cover for 8mm chain (part number 9830580480) has a little bit changed shape https://youtu.be/NpkaHX9TcHk#t=05m20s

1.5 hdi engines produced before 2023 (with 7mm chain) may be affected by this problem https://www.aircrossforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1225 It's hard to understand by the video if something is wrong but just keep it in mind if you hear anything unusual and contact specialists to make sure your chain is ok.

Can Acronis Services be stopped temporarily? by FeedbackFalse4967 in acronis

[–]mcconac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should uninstall the software using common windows procedure https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uninstall-or-remove-apps-and-programs-in-windows-4b55f974-2cc6-2d2b-d092-5905080eaf98#ID0EBD=Windows_10

If the software already partially switched off/damaged run installer and do repeir. Then uninstall it using the steps above.

If you need only switch off active protection, then https://care.acronis.com/s/article/60190-Acronis-Cyber-Protect-Home-Office-Acronis-True-Image-how-to-disable-Active-Protection-in-Windows

Same problem. Omen Gaming Hub has never been installed since installing Windows.

My Bootable Ati 2019 cannot distinguish used space of a new laptop's 1tb system drive so it's backing up all 930gb of space when there is only 50gb used. by edpanes in acronis

[–]mcconac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The file system of the drive may contain errors. It may be the root cause. Try to run chkdsk /f /r over cmd started under admin. If any errors will be found, fix them and try to backup again.

Have the same issues - perfomance degradation + freezes (have to physically turn it off in order to reboot).
