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...

Last post

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.

Well you could eliminate the volumetric ultrasonics by using the disable button when you lock it.

You dont change these filters.
As they are made of a nylon mesh - they are unclipped and cleaned in any detergent (even petrol).
Of course if they are damaged i.e. ripped in the mesh you change them - but they wont be unless last cleaning proces was done very careless.

Hi' In previous thread's on changing the LHM the 2 filter's (that cost only a few quid to buy) are talked about quite a lot.

Fairly straight forward, but watch out where you position the control unit and have it so the unit is pointing downwards, as I didn't and water leaked into the boot and into the control unit I was lucky and it dried out okay. Another thing, if you can, position the bleeper under the dash as it...

Hi everyone, I haven't posted for a long time as I've been moving house, fitting a new kitchen and shower etc etc so the car has been left alone. Anyway back to the subject. Has anyone purchased these parking sensors and fitted them or have any preferences. I have seen them on ebay for £34 does this seem too cheap if so how much should I spend?

Xantia estate boot lock

First post

Will be having a look today so will let you know the results.

Last post

Basically it doesn't always lock. When I press the remote it makes a faint noise then anything from 1 to 5 unlock - locks it makes a clunk sound on the unlock then locks o.k with another clunk. It always unlocks o.k. Any ideas guys?
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

xantia front suspension clonk

by NiSk » 27 Dec 2004, 14:14

First post

1) Bottom ball joint
2) Steering rod joint a) outer b) inner
3) Steering rack mountings
4) Inner lower suspension bushes
5) Drop links (again?)
6) Worn steering pinion
I'd check them in that order.

Hi all, hope your all having a good christmas. Just a quick one. Did the droplinks in the summer but still have clonking coming from the front nearside whilst driving also when turning back from full lock when the car isn't moving it makes quite a bad sounding thud. Any ideas?

Rear suspension

by JohnD » 20 Nov 2004, 14:37

First post

Sure it's not the exhaust playing up?

Last post

Is it me! My rear suspension can sound boomy on some types of bumps or road surfaces. I have changed all the spheres and was wondering if it might be either the LHM needs changing or that the rear bushes have gone. Any ideas ? It does seem worse on the passenger side. She has done about 50,000 miles.

Door Switch

Hi, the door switch is integrated into the lock itself. Personally If you dont need the light going on with that door, I wouldnt risk fiddling with the lock.

Morning, does anyone know how the doors activate the interior lights. My rear drivers side doesn't work and I can't seem to find a switch or anything.

Clonk and Knocking

by zorgman » 01 Nov 2004, 00:11

First post

itll be your drop links mine done the same cost £12.50 per side and 10 mins to change them its a different car to drive now fells much tighter.
dont bother trying to unscrew nuts cut them off as you get new ones with the links and make sure you get the right ones as i think theres 3 types just have a good look at yours ie which way the nuts are

Last post

Hi everyone. The cars going well except for the front suspension. If I am on full lock either way, when I start to turn the wheel back while the car is stopped or movind very slowly It makes a Clonk type sound. Also driving along bumpy roads the front suspension knocks. Could they be linked and what is the possible cause of both problems any ideas...

Hydra flush

by JohnD » 24 Sep 2004, 11:59

First post

Whether to use or not to use! Depends on how the system has been treated in its past life. If changes have been neglected, giving it a flush would help. What does the old LHM look like? If it's a bright green, don't bother. If it's muddy brown, then use it.

Last post

Hi Everyone, I'm going to change the LHM fluid soon. As my car now has 50,000 on the clock would it also be worth treating the system to Hydra Flush before hand? Or is this a bit OTT? Have seen the posts on changing the fluid all seem's easy enough. Any handy hint's before I commence.

But to get to it, you Remove the radio surround (a couple of screws at the bottom, and ease out the clips at the side) Remove the screws holding in the control panel Ease out the control panel (be careful not to stretch or kink the cables) The top cover unclips from...

Just a quickie. My Haynes is packed as we are waiting for a date to move house and the bulb on the top row of the ventilation controls has blown. How do I get to it? Cheers.

re Zorgman post (not sure footed Xantia)

by AndersDK » 11 Sep 2004, 19:34

First post

Correctly inflated tyres are good for :
* safety
* handling
* comfort
* mileage : fuel and tyres
Despite this very simple task, most owners only have the inflation checked when car is in for service - or the occasional flat on the highway

Last post

Hi. Just thought I should follow up on the problem that I had similar to Zorgmans post about getting tired on long journeys and correcting the steering alot. Bearing in mind my car was serviced just before I got it earlier in the summer. I popped into my local garage which has one of those tyre inflaters that you set to the pressure you want then...

Front disk + bleeding

by JohnD » 14 Aug 2004, 15:02

First post

You may or may not find the discs almost impossible to remove. When I did mine, the o/s fell off after removing the screws, but the n/s needed persuading with a lump hammer. Before mounting the new disc, clean off any rust, otherwise they might not run true. When bleeding the brakes, go gently with a RING spanner on the bleed nipples. I find they...

Last post

Morning I'm changing the front disk's and pad's and bleeding the brakes today. It look's easy enough but any pointer's or advice would be helpful and appreciated.

Spheres

First post

Morning Alec, sad this one at this hour should still be in bed!!
How much does it sink? My estate settles a bit, just a few millimeters but that is usually after the dog has got out and he weighs in at 50kgs. It usually drops a little once the brakes have been released after stopping and then picks up. All of this really indicates that the rear...

Last post

Morning everyone, I have just replaced the rear sphere's on my Xantia so now I've done all six. I can't believe what a diffrence it has made and not really that much of a job. Just a quick question to ask the rear still sinks slightly when engine is off. Is this because it's an estate (2000 model). There are no leak's and the ride, brakes steering...

Xantia Speakers

by Stuart McB » 01 Aug 2004, 20:10

First post

Try the web for empire direct for your speakers. They give some good info on what to use and don't baffle you with techno babble. Another good point is they are a couple of quid cheaper on the whole even with the postage. I fiited a Sony head unit in to a Vauxhall Frontera some years back and up graded to standard Sony speakers and the sound...

Last post

Hi' I am going to upgrade all the speakers in my xantia and would like any feedback on other people's upgrades (good or bad) any model number's, make + prices e.t.c. I have looked on some site's and prices vary quite alot. OOPS they will be running through a Sony CDXR3300 headunit.

Xantia rear sphere's How many ?

by Robin » 15 Jul 2004, 00:18

First post

Yup, three. One on each suspension arm and one in the middle. However the one in the middle has a small pipe connected to it. The hint is to hold the pipe nut and turn the sphere off it. Not the other way round because it is likely to be siezed on the pipe and turning the nut would shear the pipe off.
While you are there check the height control...

Last post

Hi Guy's, As some of you know I have done my front sphere's including the accumulator. I would like to do the rear's now. How many are there on a Xantia estate. Is there 3 like the front or more I'm slightly confused after doing a search.

Autoleads adapter

Hi everyone, I have finally fitted my Sony headunit with the correct lead for the later Xantia's steering control's. The lead is a PC9 - 125 to fit the Mini ISO lead that the later Xantia had. Now just got to sort out the speakers.

Can I just confirm the sizes. The rears are they 13cm? And the fronts 16.5 or 17 cm? I'm looking at fitting the Infinity's that Halfords sell. Cheers guys, Alec

News to me.Why would they?They have the C5.Think of all the trouble they would have getting it to todays safety standards,aig bags,body strength etc...
Unless any one knows different,seems a highly unlikely.

Last post

When speaking to Autoleads technical support today (see thread) I was told that Citroen are going to start making Xantia's again but only about 2000 a year. Has anyone else heard any muttering's and will the U.K get any I wonder. Maybe it will be the 2cv's turn next.
