Look >at this post<.
The RPO sequence is 5 numbers and 2 letters. Like 67890CA. You use the 5 numbers not the letters. So it becomes 67890. If it has a leading 0, you can try it with or without the leading 0. That post is talking about the "birthday" calculator NOT LEXIA. I think you need to drop the leading 0 for Peugeot's but leave it in for Citroen's, but just see which one works for you.
If you are using the 7 number sequence at the bottom of the sticker, you are using the wrong numbers!
:o Hi, 5 numbers, are you sure? How could i forget this!!! Yes i use the fist 7 in the bottonI I can't believe, have used diagbox with my previous 307 HDI 2006, and also with this C3 Pluriel i did'n experience this problem before, so in the past i was using the right numbers, and now i forgot this!! I'm happy to know, because knowing this probably will sort my problem, but in the other hand i think i have to see a doctor, or stop smoking weed..... :D I show you my label,,,

I wouldn't be in a big hurry to thank me just yet, your check code is 82 and is not two letters. So I was wrong there. :oops:

The RPO should be 11200. 5 numbers not 4. Putting in 4 numbers probably confused LEXIA.

Good luck.

Yes, but this is the only number that on the RPO calculator give me the right production's and it does connect , but I have to change 0 with 1 so will be 11474, in stead of 10474 as on the label , if i put the first number 12008 as you suggested, it give me a car from 2009 (did’n tried this number on the car, but I’m sure that it will connect anyway)



The label on the donor car has those numbers: first is 11473CA the second 20475! here the strange thing happen, the donor BSI according with the calculator (still haven’t swap it) it will work with the first 5 numbers as you suggested, because those number give me the correct car’s date… but my car (green one) work with the second number on label, but with 1 in stead of 0…..
I don’t know, but what I know is that my car has been registered on 8 April 2008 not 24 September 2009!
So at the end, it will work but it doesn’t make sanse…..
