Driving Jenny for a few days recently, I noticed that when braking she tends to nose dive with the back going up quite a bit.

So which one is behaving properly, and what would cause the other not to?

Last post

I'll third it for Anders on air in the brakes for the squatting/ lift - I'm not certain why it sometimes causes lifting rear and other times squatting. My Xantia would lift at the rear braking and then pull down as the rear brakes then activated after the delay.

On the BX the rear would squat upon braking with trapped air due to the rear...

Diesel mountings allways used to be softer, but you may be right. If its physically the same, check the stiffness of the rubber. Most XUD mountings are very similar.

New member with Xantia

by firstrebel » 26 Apr 2009, 21:49

First post

Some weeks ago I acquired a 1997 Xantia estate, 1.9 TD SX with 138,000 miles on the clock. It had been destined for the scrap yard but was ‘saved’ by DickieG. It was to use for work instead of my Volvo T5 auto estate. The Volvo is immaculate despite its 184,000 miles, but its luxury is at a price. The 38 miles round trip to work returns 20mpg....

I would probably have a similar problem if seen in a Volvo. :D

Hi All,

thanks for the help I got from the forum last summer with a wiring query I had. I aim to keep my xantia V6 on the road as long as possible, and it looks like theres some major work to be done soon.

Can anyone tell me if the cat on the exhaust (in front of the mid box) is supposed to hang down? I had it in with one of the...

Hi Ian and All,

Thank you so much for posting those pics, and thanks to everyone else for confirmation that all seems to be ok with the cat. The new mid pipe and box are great- I don't seem to be waking the neighbours when I get in late anymore!

I can see now that there seems to be an oversized cat there (maybe the right size for amount of...

When I took delivery there were not two tyres the same on the car, two new tyres were fitted on the front problem improved slightly.

Righto, i did offer my Xantia away for free but a mate of mine offered to fix it and give it some TLC. However it broke again last week. I am on a mission now to keep this car forever, it's a bit reminiscent of Christine the way it acts. I just can't get rid of it.

Vince, cheers for the reply, i'll give them a ring next week.

The aircon pump snapped the bracket and pulled everything down, which i think started things off.

Since then the ac has been bypassed but the belt fell off the idler was bent.

Trying to undo the idler just finished it off.

Hi all. Ive owned my 1998 face lift xantia 1.9td for just over a year now and love the car but it now has developed a problem. In the last 1000 miles the engine management light has flashed every now and again causing no running problems but on Sunday the light came on permanently causing it to go into limp home mode. How common is this on these...

Last post

Do you think it was run in the past sans filter, or perhaps with some WVO cut with something nasty like Ian's and other pumps we've seen?

Erm, yes, very possibly. The latter I think.

I'd love to forensically examine that pump. I'll almost guarantee it looks like this inside..

Thanks Steve. I got the job done successfully. I removed the (soft) trim around the gearstick, then the outer trim (around the gearstick). which gives access to the cigarette lighter. There are 2 screws at the lower base of the trim sorrounding the heater controls, radio, etc. By removing the two screws and the screws holding the radio in place...

Seats and wiring

All the posts about swapping seats lately got me thinking as my rear base is split/fraying I'm wondering...

I know I have to determine hatch from estate, are there any other differences I need to avoid for my MK2 hatch?

Is it possible to retrofit leather electric seats and if so, is it straightforward?

Last post

Having just swapped cloth for leather on a car that looks the same age, i am pretty sure you will not be able to connect the airbags without an awful lot of difficulty as the airbag module in your car will be for two air bags whilst the later ones wioth side airbags will be for four. Possibly if you could remove the airbag module from the donor...

Brake nipple question

by myglaren » 24 Apr 2009, 16:32

First post

If they are at all stiff to move I'd be replacing them as a matter of course as they will only be worse next time. I'd also put a trace of Coppaslip or graphited grease on the new threads to reduce the chance of them sticking again. At least baptise them in LHM.
I used to go round them and check the brakes every couple of months (just a visual...

Last post

LHM dose not affect pad material at all, unlike brake fluid and other oil's LHM will clean off with petrol/brake cleaner, then any residue will burn away with use,

also there is no need to depresureise the hydraulic system to remove brake bleeding kniples,

That really surprises me as almost any oily contaminant will penetrate...

I've recently had my cambelt changed on my Xantia 2.0 HDI. Ever since Ive been loosing coolant somewhere... :evil:

I've filled the expansion bottle up twice now in four weeks. I've just had it up on a ramp today to have a look underneath. The leak looks to be coming from somewhere on the waterpump side - but from the backside of what I think is...

Job Done!

Today I started by draining what was left in the cooling system then flushing everything out. I filled up with new coolant / de-ionised water utilising a header made from a 1 litre de-ionised water bottle. I used adhesive backed foam strip for sealing the neck. There were two bleeding points that I could find - one on the thermo housing...

Problems started last summer. I reversed out of a parking space and then it cut out completely. Would not start and ended up being towed home! The following day gave it a good check over, fitted new fuel filter and air filter but still would not start. After hours checking one thing after another, came to the conclusion that the fuel pump fitted...

If i remember right one is black & one is brown & both are 23 pins they are located in between the ECU & the bulkhead, they look just like the connectors that go between the front doors & the body, they twist anticlockwise to disconect them.

My '94 Xantia has developed a new LHM leak, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to cause and/or potential fix.

There is nice clean LHM on the top of what I guess could be called the inner wing, on the driver's side. The only pipe I can see that would drip onto this area is what I take to be the...

Brilliant, thanks Martin. I'll probably have a go at that then.

By the way, I used to use Pleiades for my BX and the Xantia, and always found it an excellent experience. Its a great pity you're not still garaging.

Cheers.
