Forum server settings changed

by xantia_v6 » 07 May 2024, 19:01 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Due to excessive server loading caused by some badly behaved 'bots' (automated content collectors), I have changed the anti-ddos settings on the site to be much more aggressive.

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

There may...

I have been keeping an eye on the server performance, and the every 5 minutes same addresses would flood the forum with requests for a few seconds before getting blocked again.

In the last hour they seem to have got bored and gone away.

XU5 to XUD Air Con Swap

On the motorway trip, the aircon was working well. Too well in fact.

Now, being new to aircon, I'm wondering if this is normal...

My second c5 did that. It's likely either the temperature flap seized or the spindle worn or both. Most likely a dash out to fix it. One of the reasons why I did not fix my car when I bashed it and sold it on.

Well assuming it's like the Scenics there's multiple reasons. Some fault codes will stop the engine ECU from enabling the compressor clutch.

Thank you very much for your help so far! I have sort of redefined the problem now... no power is getting to the blower at all, and it is very probable that the aircon control derives its power from the same source. Verifying that will take a wiring diagram! Now, if I can find one of them...

Hi . I've just removed the A/C condenser from my C5 as it was holed . I intend to replace it later but until then I will seal the ends of the pipes . Now for the question. would it help to seal one of the pipes in a plastic bag of silica gel to absorb any damp. Regards John.

I would use a poly bag with a couple of packets of silica gel, so you don't end up with gel in the pipework. I would do it on both pipes.

Having compared where the pipes joined it looked ok. Took it to the air con guy in the end, couldn't be bothered going back and forth getting the gas empted and refilled, and it's now working lovely.

Does having the air con on normally make the engine a lot hotter? Got upto 100 just now with both rad fans going. Normally she runs around 80 - 90,...

Can I change the air con compressor myself?

by Jaf » 30 Jul 2012, 19:17

First post

Hi guys. The air con on Fred has a leak. The German mechanic who re-gassed it for me won't use the leak seal stuff. So I'm looking for a new air con compressor, either recon or maybe new. Once I have a new one can I change it myself? It's not the spannering it's the chemicals I'm wondering about. Of course there won't be much gas left but I don't...

Last post

in the UK there are company's doing a mobile air con service
all you need to do is arrange them to come and evacuate the system then re/gas once you have fitted the compressor

But wouldn't the Chunnel charges put paid to any savings? :P

At 300 quid, that's actually not too bad for a new compressor. I had to have the one done on my Ford Taurus...

c3 aircon problem?

by pazauk » 04 Jun 2012, 16:45

First post

Hi all, my aircon has not been working at all so got it all re-gassed last week the system now starts up the clutch on the compressor kicks in and the fan on the radiator starts…………….. But then after around 30 second the fan will stop running and the temp readout will read full temp and a buzzer sounds and the aircon turns off it will not start up...

C8 Air-Con not working in very hot weather!

by brittleware » 22 Aug 2012, 20:25

First post

There have been two occasions recently when the temperature here in Surrey, UK, rose to the high 20s. On both days the aircon in our Fiat Ulysse (A C8 / Peugeot 807 under the skin) stopped working. Otherwise it works beautifully on cooler days. Is there a sensor I don't know about?

The last re-gas about three months ago included dye - my black...

Last post

Understood - but the blower fans have always worked perfectly, both front and rear. The A/C works brilliantly when the air temp. is below about 26c, which would seem to indicate that it's a little overcharged... I do have a gauge, must get to check it out. (Currently preoccupied by silly intermittent engine temp. readings even when engine cold -...

Am I also correct in saying that the air blower should be in at least position 1 for the air con to work.

Recon compressor?

by Jaf » 03 Aug 2012, 10:14

First post

H guys. I'm looking for a replacement compressor for my Xantia. The new ones are far to expensive and the second hand ones not tested, so I'd like a recon one. But I have tried several places on the net and they no longer have them. I guess that Fred is just too old! Anyone know of someone who might have one?

Many thanks.

Last post

What's expensive to you?

This one is cheapest by a country mile if not a rebuilt: onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

There are Asian knock-offs for a few hundred.

Firstly thanks for replies. Havn't done much more as regards finding the fault to tell you the truth. Weather has been so damn lousy we have not missed it. Things are going critical now, however, because the boss ( her car) informed me that the blower has stopped working so I've got to come up with something. So to recap: system gassed up, now no...

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my Xantia 1.6i,

The aircon is the newer type with the automatic fan speed control.
Two years ago I started having problems with my aircon.
It has been to 9 different garages, 4 citroen, 4 aircon specialists and 1 electrician.

Xsara Picasso Air/Con Not working!

by PicassoPigeon » 27 Apr 2012, 15:54

First post

Light on dash comes on with a press of the button but no compressor turning and no fans running. Took car for re-gas but they have told me it is full of gas. Any ideas? Looks like all fuses in drivers side fuse compartment are all ok.

Is there another fuse to run the compressor?

Thanks for your help.

Last post

This is still rattling, it sort of increases with the revs and also as you go over speed bumps...but only when the fan is running. Anybody any idea?

Hi gazzas c5, i guess it was working then stopped? could it be that it needs re charge. and the switch will only illuminate when it's got enough refrigerant.

Dripping in Footwell

Hi , all he's anyone had any experience of getting condensed drips of water from the aircon in the passengers footwell ,
i ask because with the aircon running full for an hour yesterday,in the unusually hot weather ,parked on a slope
there was a constant dripping from under the Xantia , this formed a stream small puddle .
I have since found...

Last post

Mine produces a lot of condensate, and it's well-serviced. The Xantia AC drain spigot is in the passenger footwell, it passes out the firewall sort of above the anti-roll bar clamp into a rubber elbow. Near the hydraulic pressure drop detector on RHD cars.

I've seen the elbow poorly fitted from factory, causing it to not drain properly.

Whats the difference

by KennyW » 11 Dec 2011, 16:35

First post

Hi All,

Can somebody tell me the difference between these delphi compressors.

No 1135290 and No 1135463.

It would appear my compressor is leaking from the drive shaft seal.

Any thoughts.

Kenny

Last post

Hi All,

I've been talking to the tec's at Delphi and the only difference between the 2 pumps is the size of the pulley.

119mm v 121mm which I think means they are interchangeable.

I would have 1 reservation which is check the a/c pipe connection is the same before hand.

Peugeot 504 - retrofitting air-con?

by LD » 06 Dec 2011, 11:28

First post

What are the practicalities of fitting air conditioning to my 1973 Peugeot 504? It's a GL automatic. Some sold into hot climates were so equipped, and there's plenty of space in the engine bay.

I've no mechanical skills, so is there a firm that would undertake this work, and what is it likely to cost? I'm in Poole, Dorset.

Last post

If there was no variant at the time with an air con dash , then an underdash unit would be the go - look for a Mark IV in serviceable nick but don't pay a fortune. Try Oz, NZ and RSA for this. New TX, modern compressor, make up the rest as suits. Vintage Air in California have a new underdash unit at an aceptable sum ($300 plus carriage), also....

Lately the ac has been cutting out by itself while driving i.e. the internal blower fan will just died suddenly. Sometimes it will go on running back again after few secs but sometimes it just died.

Gents,

Thanks for all the usefull info, BTW after much checking about here n there I just gave up n sent the car to the authorised service centre #-o

The problem is really the blower unit itself as told, after they perform the actuator test ?? on the blower, there seems to be a drag to the blower :roll:
