Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Disruption to Parts Service

ACTIVA DIESEL

First post

Nice, i'm suprised its the 2.1td though, i'd have thought that would have been a bit heavy for the activa,
I think the reason we didnt get the rhd activa diesels was something to do with the rams getting in the way of the pedals during the conversion to rhd

Was out for a drive this morning through Snowdonia, specifically along the Llanberis pass, when a pathetic little Subaru something or other beginning with J with some rather unsavoury looking occupants appeared rather rapidly behind me. The driver then proceeded to overtake on the way up the pass (I was about to pull over and let him past me...

the great insurance rip off

You are falling into the trap of crediting insurance companies with any kind of even basic intelligence or common sense, you will be expecting fairness soon, most policies are written by something like a bank clerk but with its brains kicked out, these creatures have to be dead for a month before they even notice, even as an ideal customer, you...

Unloved C5?

by weety » 18 Feb 2005, 23:15

First post

to be honest around london i think i see more C5's than i do BX's......... i imagine in about ten years time i will be driving a c5

Last post

You see a few BX`s,& 1000`s of Xantias on the roads,but hardly any C5`s.Why???
My thoughts,
about 12 computers in the car,(diy point of view)
well documented problems,
really a bigger class of car than 406`s,Mondys etc.
But,loads of discounts from Citroen,
lose a load of money fast,but good for 2nd hand buyers.
Anybody any thoughts...

Magic Xantia?

by dnsey » 17 Feb 2005, 14:37

First post

Yes, I noticed that one, and wondered which of the Leaky Cauldron's clients owned it!

Last post

Watching my son's copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban I noticed a cameo by a tidy phase 2 pale green metallic Xantia. It gets nudged by the Knight Bus as it comes to a stop outside the Leaky Couldron Inn. Slight continuity error in that the alarm goes off, but on my Xant, the alarm is a pressure sensing, not motion sensing one.
Ok, I...

I know the feeling - looks like I'm off for at least another 3 weeks with a damaged left hand! - Fine but I'm not supposed to use it and in any event wouldn't get it dirty at the moment - so can't tinker with Citroens! (its a bit cold anyway!) (couldn't drive until yesterday!)
They are supposed to cut the power off as well today!

Now the van operator, who had been on mobile patrol in Trefonen, near Oswestry, could face court action.

Anyone good with Weber carbs?

by bxbodger » 15 Feb 2005, 17:01

First post

Should it not have twin webers?- mine did, but you are talking in the singular.....Check for a massive air leak at the joint between either of the carbs bodies and the manifold-this is your most likely cause, and they also need to be synchronised with a vacuum gauge, this gets rid of any flat spots.

Last post

Hi,
I have fitted a Weber 38DGAS carb to my 205xs. It makes for fantastic performance, but there is a problem. It has a nasty flatspot, off/on the throttle, which I found was caused by a missing O-ring on oneo f the idle jets. When I replaced the O-ring, the car now won't idle at all, even though the flat spot has now gone.
As far as I can see,...
